"Exceptional. Clean, professional staff, newer carpet, modern furniture/decor, quiet. Great coffee and breakfast bar had a good amount of offerings, all fresh. The lady working the breakfast food was polite and attentive. Front desk staff was super. I was very pleased with my stay. Highly recommend."
"We recently stayed at the Howard Johnson in Lima, and while our stay was not bad, I’m not sure we if would stay here again or if we'd try somewhere else.
There were definitely positives. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bed was comfortable, and one of the biggest highlights was how incredibly quiet the hotel was. It’s an older, solidly built property, and once our door was closed, we could barely hear anything outside-very appreciated by this light sleeper. I also liked the large lighted bathroom mirror and the generous counter space. The pool and play areas looked great for families with kids. We appreciated the Pizza Lounge being available for a drink or snack, and that breakfast was available.
The main issue for us was cleanliness and upkeep. Behind the mattress (on the boxspring) and on the floor behind the bed, we found dried Zyn packets, dirt, and hair, making it clear that area was not being cleaned thoroughly. The carpeting in the room also felt damp, not sure where that was coming from, but it was noticeable (we were on ground floor). The hallway carpeting could use deep cleaning or replacement due to staining, and the parking lot and sidewalks around the building had quite a few weeds that hurt the overall appearance.
Overall, the hotel has some strong positives, especially the quiet rooms and friendly staff, but it could benefit from more attention to cleanliness and maintenance."
"Overall, our stay was okay, but there were several issues that affected our experience. The amenities were disappointing — the hot tub was not up to par because the bubbles/jets were not working properly, and the pool itself was extremely cold, making it difficult to enjoy.
The biggest issue was the room. We experienced a significant ant problem throughout our stay. While the staff did spray the room, the problem continued regardless. Unfortunately, because the hotel was completely sold out for the weekend, changing rooms was not an option, so we had no choice but to deal with it.
The staff was polite and did what they could, but for the price paid and overall expectations, the maintenance and room conditions definitely need improvement."
"I understand that they are renovating the hotel. But in the shower was grout that was stuck to the main area of the shower. The toilet seal was super dirty and moldy. And the faucet in the restroom was also stained with grout. Breakfast was cold. But De’Angela was a beautiful soul that greeted us with such positivity that we needed after a long stressful day of driving."

What are holiday rentals like in Kalida?

Holiday rentals feature amenities such as hot tubs, fire pits and patios so you'll feel just like you're staying in your own home.
