I was also here during the hotest Labor Day weekend on record. But unlike the other guest, while the hallways were warm (until the hallway air conditioner was turned on) my room was extremely cool, clean, quiet, comfortable, and well furnished.
The pool area was a bit warm, but I turned on the two air conditioners and the ceiling fans, and things got nice pretty quickly. The pool area is clean and a nice place to read a book. The elevator worked fine, but was slow and a bit noisy (especially the floor bell).
The breakfast was better than at some places but still not a full breakfast. The front desk people extremely helpful, even letting me into my room hours early.
The housekeeping staff was very friendly and happily accommodated each of my polite requests. I even left them a tip - which if you knew me, is saying a lot.
My only problems were that the hotel website was clunky, and that the hotel is not a part of any chain that gives rewards (like when they were an AmeriHost). Since this is the only game in town, it is overpriced, way overpriced, but if you want to be in Waverly and don't want to drive miles to another town (Piketon, Portsmouth, Chilicothie, or Jackson) this is a great choice. I would like to see a lobby computer added as well.
Unfortunately for the hotel, I expect a frequent stay program if I am paying this much, and I will drive to the Super 8 in Portsmouth to earn points and save 40%; even if it isn't quite as nice as this place.
