What guests think

Across many reviews, The Hotel at Oberlin is praised for very clean rooms, friendly staff, an eco-focused design, and a quality on-site restaurant, all in a central, walkable location on the Oberlin College campus.

Several reviewers point out dining limitations, including no complimentary breakfast, breakfast starting later than expected, and a bar that can close earlier than hoped. Some guests report noise between rooms or difficulty getting spaces warm enough. A practical, well-organized base for short stays.

The stay was dang near perfect. I think it is a huge miss for the hotel bar attached to 1833 not to stay open until 11pm or at least 10:30pm when there is anything on at the theater next door, it would make for a refined more perfect experience after a production.

The hotel is conveniently located making it walkable to the college and downtown. The restaurant is excellent but could be open a little later in the evening. Parking is provided.

If you sell yourself as a green, renewable property, how about getting EV car chargers???

We did not expect what we arrived to because the drive seemed to be very country. It was very clean. Turns out its the first hotel in the US to use Geothermal energy which I thought was great. It was a modern hotel, up to date. Rooms had ceiling fans to help, although the room was very cool without it. The man at the check in (we checked in around 9pm) was very friendly and knowledgeable. Photos attached are after we slept in the beds. We will definitely keep this hotel in mind for future stays.

Very clean and comfortable place to stay. Located in a cute college town. The bed was so comfortable and we slept really well. It was very quiet and felt private. Nice options with the restaurant located in the hotel and The Feve right around the corner. Not tons of dining choices but the ones they have are very good. There was live music in the beautiful town square when we arrived. The college campus is gorgeous. Great place to stay and it’s very cool how they make everything energy efficient and use local sources for things like the soaps and shampoos in the rooms.

Very nice hotel. everything is new , modern and clean. Plus its a very short walk to downtown and campus. The best part was that because it is heated and cooled with geothermal heat, i did not need to listen to a noisy air conditioning unit turn on and off all night. The price was a little more than other hotels but it was well worth the extra cost.

This hotel was a great choice for me passing near the area. I loved the sustainability factors, and for maybe the first time, the cooling system was perfectly comfortable. Would definitely return if I were in the area. I wish there were more of this exact hotel in other areas of the country.
