First off, when we arrived last night, the personnel were so friendly and accommodating... Debbie at the front desk and then Val, who was just finishing her shift and she wanted to let Debbie know the status of things before she left for the night. Well, Val came back in when she noticed her license plate was from Pennsylvania and started talking to us about how much she loves the Philadelphia area and she was just so nice pleasant and thoughtful. My husband doesn't usually like chatting to strangers, but he even enjoyed the conversation with Debby and Val! Which says a lot! Our room was remarkable, clean well appointed the shower was perfect. The bathroom supplies were great. The location was fabulous. Nice inconvenient everything about this place really hit the mark! Even the coffee station in the morning was fully stocked and had real creamer! And I can't leave out the fact that we had our dog with us. Yes, Hampton Inn allows dogs, which was a real bonus on this trip because our four legged family member is traveling with us. Five stars!

You are surrounded by abandoned and ruined hotels next to a giant empty dead mall that needs to be torn down. Not only that, you are tucked away in the corner away from all amenities. Checking into the hotel was a giant hassle and the staff here were giving me a bit of an issue. Not only that , there is a gentleman that talks behind all of the customers backs and directs it to his coworkers right in front of his coworkers. I don't know if this guy is the manager or the handyman but this guy is absolutely unprofessional and should not be working here in the hospitality Department. He needs to keep his comments to himself. What I will say that is nice about this hotel that is only one star Worthy was that the room is very clean , the breakfast was actually pretty good and the lobby was actually clean as well and I thought welcoming despite it being surrounded by boarded up obscurity. I will never return to this place let alone the city of Elyria!

It is super affordable and offers great comfort. Of course, I only stayed one night as that's all I needed but it was a great one night. My room was clean and there was no smell despite what other reviewers had said. Looks like they fixed the bed bug problem too. Only grievance was that the bathroom door lock was broken but who cares, the main door lock worked and that's all that matters. The location might be a little sketch but what are you gonna do pick up the whole building and move? Good customer service from the girl at the front desk with a smooth check in. Also she's hot.

The rooms were so clean and comfortable, even had a ceiling fan and a huge hd tv. Comfy beds, nice shower, everything just right. Check in was speedy and friendly. Breakfast, usually good at HWS, was better than usual. The breakfast taco bar with eggs, homefires, chorizo, salsa, pickled onions, and more. Plus the usual options. I guess the only downside is the location, not really near anything. We stayed here after a grueling day at Cedar Point, a 40 minute drive, and sooooooo worth it.

As soon as I went to the side of the building that my room 330 was on other guests were saying…read moresexual stuff about me and saying that they're making sexual gestures. I got all my stuff quickly and put it inside. The second time some guy that was out there tried to talk to me. Hannah said "men will be men" so, I said not to me..Men will be pigs.. and called the cops! Wasted 8-9:30 waiting on cops 330 much better room but loud outside my window at 930 when try to sleep I lay down to sleep at 9:30 and they were having loud outbursts My room was directly over where all of those workmen were drinking and smoking and talking loudly. Hannah let me switch rooms cause I knew I wasn't gonna be able to sleep with that noise and I didn't wanna have to call the cops again because they took so long before and I wanted to go back to sleep. Then it took as long as it took to change rooms slept 10-11:50 Room was 63 degrees and freezing so woke up before midnight. Warming up too slow 206 New room 205 still not 74 at 1:20 am Wasted 2 1/2 hrs on loud guests and cold room 206.. only got a room to sleep.. I had to move my stuff three times and it still isn't 75° and it's 1:20 AM. I didn't get the handicap room or the business suite like I paid for and the room I have now doesn't have a bathtub. While I appreciate being moved twice to try to rectify the problem this has left a terrible taste in my mouth mostly because of the other guests of course but it was totally unnecessary and very unfair to me. Because of your other guests, I don't feel safe in this hotel like I can't go out of the room without looking over my shoulder and I definitely can't go in the parking lot alone without being very vigilant. As a single woman traveling alone, this is absolutely unacceptable. But, it's absolutely unacceptable to all other guests simply because of the noise and I was told people have complained about them before and yet they got to complete their entire 2 week stay.

We considered rebooking during peak season and the price more than doubled so we will have to find a different hotel for a one nighter.

I appreciate the geothermal rooms as it is the first in the nation to accomplish this. We were a little warm overnight but I slept very well- comfy bed and pillows. The art in the room is local as well as the soap dish and shampoo/conditioner/body wash. I love the locally sourced touch. Parking is in the back of the hotel. I felt very safe here!

I don't know WTF is going on...I'm thinking about reaching under my seat to grab my Glock. I actually had to ask if there was a problem.

Built in 1830 in the town that gave rise to the Civil War, this charming B&B, a stop on the Underground Railroad, is a virtual museum of mid-18th century and Victorian American History! (And this place is supposedly haunted by a previous owner!). The current owners Joe and Susan are a wealth of knowledge of the history on the house and the area! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to adults and teens (with adults) of any age! (There are too many antiques around for tiny hands to touch.) Hallauer House is just 4 miles from the heart of Oberlin, but trust me, it will be worth the drive to this gem on the Underground Railroad if you are looking for peace and quiet, an exquisite 5-Star gourmet breakfast, a spa package, a workout room, if you so choose, and delightful hosts who work very hard to make their guests feel warmly welcomed. Considering all the amenities provided by Joe and Susan, I don't think any other area lodging facility could even begin to compare!

Coming from a city that is high on organic, all-natural foods and perfectly roasted coffee, you can imagine our fussy palates. The Hallauer House passed with flying colors. The bed & breakfast itself has quite a bit of history within it's walls. The hosts, Susan and Joe, are happy to acquaint you with myriad antiques and artifacts they've collected throughout the years. The house is quite old - 100+ years. Of special note are the leftover markings and trap door from the underground railroad which used to run through the house in the 1800's. I would highly recommend booking with the Hallauer House as far in advance as you can. They get booked up quickly AND there isn't a better place to stay in Oberlin!

My son and I needed to arrive at Oberlin College by 11:00 Monday, so staying overnight in nearby Lorain, OH at this beautiful hotel was the perfect solution. The hotel's restaurant is always closed Sunday-Monday, so we didn't get to try that, but we were able to find take-out from a restaurant in Amherst, and eat in our room. We were really surprised to learn that only two families were staying at the hotel the night we stayed! We got a great deal on Expedia for a queen double room. About $112 in total, and parking was free. Free Wifi. Super clean facility. Beds were so comfortable and the shower was awesome. I loved all the cute vintage features, like the mail shoot by the elevator. No swimming inpool yet, due to COVID of course, but perhaps we will enjoy a swim on our next visit. We will definitely stay here next time we are visiting Oberlin, which is about a 25 minute drive from Lorain. Thank you to Sabrina and the other hotel staff for being so welcoming and for providing my son and I with such a wonderful and relaxing stay! Updated: we stayed here for Oberlin College graduation weekend and had a solid stay although it was rowdier at night during the weekend when a wedding was happening. Room was clean, beds were ok. Free parking. Limited staff around, and no room cleaning during our stay, but when we called for room towels we received them. Pool was nice but the area around the pool, bathroom, sauna (closed) and exercise room could use some attention and updating.
