    I was in Wilmington, Ohio for a tour performance, and after our sound check, the college took us to dinner at the General Denver--a beautiful restaurant attached to the hotel where we were staying. The hotel and restaurant both had a rustic, classic feel with a lot of wood accents, giving it a homely and welcoming vibe. One cool feature of the hotel is the old crank elevator they still use! We were greeted by a kind and enthusiastic hostess and seated quickly. Since we were on a time crunch, it became clear the restaurant usually caters to guests who like to take their time. After receiving our drinks, we had to flag down the waitress to place our orders, as she had disappeared for quite a while. As a big fan of steak, especially ribeye, I couldn't resist ordering it when I saw it on the menu. I ordered the ribeye medium-well, along with a baked potato and broccoli, and paired it with an old-fashioned. The sides were great--the broccoli was perfectly seasoned and buttery, and the baked potato was spot-on. Unfortunately, I found the steak itself to be very tough. I was warned by a friend dining with us, who had tried it before, but I wanted to form my own opinion. While I managed to finish most of it, I have to admit the interior was quite chewy, though the more tender outer parts were good. That being said, I do live in Chicago, where I regularly make my own steaks, so I may be a bit biased. Judging based on the area, though, if you're looking for a nice date spot, a good drink, and a decent meal, General Denver might just be what you're looking for. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5.

    We've been by this place dozens of times on our way to other places and always thought it would be worth a try. It's very good! It's an older style restaurant with lots of dark wood classically finished. The outside area is huge and about 1/2 of it is covered. I had the Main Street salad. Smoked Turkey, Romain lettuce, blue cheese, red onion, crispy bacon crumbles, and I had honey mustard dressing on the side. Fresh, delicious salad! My son had Caesar salad with Mollys stuffed chicken. The salad was just ok, nothing wrong but nothing special either. The chicken was very well put together and tasted great, albeit a bit small. (That's ok by us.) We both said we would like to stop by and try other things.

    Bone- in pork chop with sweet potato fries

    My partner and I visited here on a Friday evening for dinner. We thought we would need a reservation, but we were wrong. The place was not super packed, but it was nice to know that we would seated promptly upon arrival. There's two areas, an inside restaurant and an outside bar area with more tables. We were sat at the outdoor tables, which I was not a fan of but it was not a deal breaker for the experience. But given the occasion I would've preferred to have been sat at a more proper table (it was Valentine's Day). Drinks took a while to come to us, and at first they got my order wrong. They comped it in the end, so all was well. For my dish I got a simple salad, and then the pork chop with sweet potato fries. The salad was very fresh and hit the spot before my meal. The pork chop was fantastic and cheap for its quality. My partner also really enjoyed his steak for the price. All in all, this place is good for any occasion: meeting friends for drinks, a casual dinner out, or a celebration dinner. There were people of all attire there and enjoying themselves. We will be back for more.

    Cajun Bleu Cheese burger
    Robyn L.

    Haven't eaten here in awhile so we gave it a go. The cauliflower wings were just IQF breaded cauliflower with a side of generic hot sauce. Fried green tomatoes were very brown. Not a lot of the tang associated with green tomatoes. I got the standard Cajun Bleu Cheese burger (medium) and the husband got the Bourbon BBQ Chicken sandwich. Burger was med-well and had absolutely no seasoning at all. Nothing Cajun about it, not even salt. Chicken was very dry and overcooked. Fries were the same ones I buy at Kroger and throw in the air fryer. For a $72 bill pre-tip, with nothing made in house, it will take a new menu/kitchen crew to get us back in there. Gave it a 2 star only because of the historic nature of the building.

    Loaded Mash with Steak & Mushrooms
    Molly A.

    Good vibes with delicious food and drinks! Staff were friendly and accommodating! Tristan was our server and she was great. Crab cakes were the best. Filet was amazing, loaded mash was good as well!

    Charged $1 for this tiny slice of lemon.

While it has been "upgraded" decor, instead of warm and welcoming it is cold, empty in the lobby and even the room felt like that. I know hard wood and tile floors are the trend, tell that to bare feet heading to the bathroom at night. The halls had wonderful padded carpet that was new. In my room, you could see some of the new items but the rust on the desk chair arms and stained caulk in the tub showed they didn't care about the details. I also had no view since the window looked right out to the big A/C units on the roof of the low roof. It wasn't a full hotel so I don't know why I got that room. Staff was friendly but the lack of good food onsite was another downside. Starbucks like coffee shop doesn't cut it when no breakfast is available. The replacement restaurant doesn't match the rep of this place. I will not be back. The money I saved from staying at the Express version wasn't worth it.

It is an oddly elegant place for the location. It is as if a Hallmark Movie Prince were masquerading as a stable boy. By the way there is horse stuff in the area. We saw quite a few young ladies in horse cosplay (I mean riding gear). Do you really have to wear the helmet to walk to the car and ride to the event? Anyway, nice clean room, in fact the whole place was generally spotless. There is a giant (and empty) anteroom with seating and book shelves. I guess maybe when large groups are coming through it is a useful staging area. The staff was polite and effecient. The one lady even explained to us the odd lonely baseball player statue (Go Warriors), at the back entrance of the building. The RL trucking guy liked the statue, so there it sits. They allow dogs in the building. That is a good or bad thing depending on the competence and temperment of the owner. There is an odd convenience store/DQ (anyone remember the sick cartoon CatDog) across the parking lot. They have this interesting banner about them charging the lowest prices for alcohol allowed by state law. I know about that kind ofstuff, but I looked it up to be sure. There is no such thing as a state minimum price for alcohol products. Hence the $12 for a six pack of Mike's Hard Lemonade. Come for the hotel, enjoy the stay. Disregard all the other industrial oddities nearby.

Inns are typically located in the country or along a highway. I start with that, from Wikipedia, just so we all have a sense of what we are supposed to be talking about. This place is an Inn just like I am a gold medal gymnast at 6-2, and a doughy office worker 270 lbs. I have never owned or managed a motel. I have however owned a few homes and even lived in an apartment once or twice. If the standards of cleanliness and what passes for hospitality of this motel is any indication of the owner's home life, yikes. It is okay to be worn and a little bit run down, that happens. I have spent time in military barracks that are 80 years old- none as beaten down as this place. There can always be pride in being clean even if you had holes in your clothes. This place has none of that to offer. The carpet is moist, sticky and smelly. My wife refused to walk on it barefoot, and while I did, I think I am still using extra foot spray a week later. Our maid service was coming into the room (we were gone to Air Force Museum) leaving the drapes open so the hot sun could stream in, turning down the wall unit (leaving the flap up), and taking all the towels. [Yes that is the end of the sentence, I had to go down and beg for towels, Mutt and Jeff manning the desk gave me a vague stare and two towels]. The newly remodeled shower has floor tiles and skimpy grout, so there will certainly be mold at some point. Throughout the entire small room there's a general feeling of ick and lack of cleanliness. Closing for a couple weeks and doing a total sterilization, fumigation cleaning would be an improvement. However what it might really take is teardown to the frame, remove and replace all fabric, clean, seal and repaint every surface. That is not likely to happen, the current owner will run it further into the ground, the patrons will decline (wasn't tip top during our stay) to the point where others will not stay and it will get worse until the govt. steps in and condemns the place. When we stayed 6 years ago and it wasn't good or bad enough to write a review about. This time I felt like I could not be silent. There is no price point at which we will ever stay here again and that is definitely not the $204 that those two nights in a gulag stole from us.

    We walked in and immediately left and will be getting a refund come Monday- this place was filthy,…read moremold, urine,pubic hair, ROACHES, broken grimy outlets, and stains GALORE!
