I was gonna' give them four stars until the night I ran into a hooker in the hallway - seriously...
At first glance, this place seems like a dive that you wouldn't stay at. However, the rooms are very clean and so are the bathrooms (see my attached pix). This one is conveniently located right next door to the Holzer Medical Center - within walking distance! Also, keep in mind that there are not a lot of choices in Gallipolis, OH.
The rooms are very clean and have kick ass air conditioning in case you are visiting Gallipolis in the summer time.
Room entrances are located inside, NOT outside - one of the reasons we chose this place was because they had interior room entrances. A couple of nights into our stay, we realized that they do not lock the external doors - what's the point in this? We might as well have external entrances to our rooms.
Let's talk about the hooker now... our group was standing in the hallway late one night and noticed some chick in orange hot pants step out of the door and then wave at us. It was kind of weird and I wasn't sure what to think at first. Then, I noticed she walked by the same door again - about five minutes later, she came back inside and approached our group with a question. She wanted to know if they still served coffee in the lobby. Now that she was up close, it was more than obvious that she was a hooker. All in all, she caused no harm, but the fact that anyone can walk up and down the hallways any time of the night means that this place isn't as safe as it seems.
One more thing to add - the family that owns/runs this place is VERY, VERY, VERY friendly - I can't say enough about how they make you feel at home. I would probably stay there again, but they do need to address the security and climate control of the common hallways - that would bring them up to four stars. read more
