The business at the Inn is quite seasonal, due to the rhythm of the college year. We stayed there about 55 years ago, and it hasn't changed much, except for the rust on the washer and dryer and the loosened handles on the dresser. It is getting very outdated and will be replaced in the next few years at the... More

The town of Oberlin is a unique, historic and beautiful spot, and it deserves a better hotel than the Oberlin Inn. This hotel is in need of a major renovation. The place has a tired, uncared for feeling. The rug in our room smelled. I had to go to the supply closet with the helpful woman at the front desk,... More

Booked the on line special. One night, bottle of wine, and dinner for two. Rooms comfortable and clean, (needs serious updating) wine was fine, dinner good, (only two people in restaurant, great service:). Overall good value for $150.00 (including tax and gratuities) celebration for my boyfriend. Florida Jan

Let me sum it up for you- stay here and walk to everything on campus (and what a beautiful campus it is), or stay 20 minutes away. Choose the latter if you want non-descript, devoid of character , cookie-cutter type chain hotel. Stay here and you'll get friendly, albeit quirky front desk service, dated, but clean rooms, and a somewhat... More

I booked two nights while visiting family in the area. I first noticed the mold on parts of the bathroom floor and the wets stains on the ironing board, but was in a rush to see family so left. The room is quite dated and the air was stale. I looked for an outlet for my computer and had to... More

Sorry that the fire alarm was set off by a transient guest, as the Inn has no full time residents. Some guests enjoy their time away from home and don't follow rules and regulations. It is our goal to maintain a safe environment, therefore, when the fire alarm sounds, the desk clerk has an assigned duty to begin rounds to... More

I have been sleeping in many different hotels over the years but this is dissappointing and I agree with the review of travelPAUSA if they had competition they would be out of business. First of all the service at the front desk was weird and and somewhat slow, the rooms are quite clean but really outdated and can use a... More

The Inn is part of the Oberlin College campus and next to the downtown businesses in Oberlin. I have stayed at the Inn on two separate occasions visiting my son who is enrolled at the school. On two other trips, we stayed in Westlake at a Marriott Residence Inn, which is a 15- to 20- minute drive from Oberlin. The... More

Let me begin by saying that this is the only hotel in Oberlin. So unless you want to stay off campus, lower your expectations. Service was OK. But the rooms feel circa 1960-70s. Old, worn out. Not dirty, but not clean. With any competition, they would be out of business.

Providing service with a smile and making sure that your visit to the Oberlin campus is enjoyable is one of the highlights each day that we provide. We are authentic retro in our room design which many properties strive to recreate. Updating is on the horizon. Timeframe has yet to be determined by hotel management. We look forward to your...

Tried the anniversary package, had a nice time. The property has aged but the staff is friendly and attentive. Dinner was very nice, the small college town atmosphere was pleasant. A nice area to take an evening stroll.

So I should have known that this wasnt the greatest place to stay when I went into the bathroom and saw the BEER BOTTLE OPENER next to the shower.
