Hearthstone Inn & Suites — Hotel in Cedarville Township

I'll start with the good: I made my reservation by phone (as suggested online to request a ground level room since there's no elevator), and the man was very nice and helpful. The place was really cute and very near the college campus, which we were visiting the next day! Location was the main reason for choosing it. ||The not-so-good: When we checked in and I was told we would be on the 2nd floor, I told them I requested a ground level room over the phone. I was told there was no note of that and they were sorry. My husband doesn't do stairs well, which is why the request was made.||The room was fine, but, as typical for sleeping away from home, uncomfortable. The shower was very slow draining, so you stood in a couple of inches of water. ||At breakfast, the man at the front desk was rather obnoxious, going on and on the whole time about how they were better than Motel 6 (several times, like he had a major ax to grind with Motel 6. Even my teen said, "Wow, he had a beef with Motel 6!") Breakfast consisted of mainly packaged baked goods. There was some fruit salad, and we did find some packaged frozen sandwiches with microwave instructions. Again, fine, but underwhelming. ||To round it out, I realized several hours into our drive home that we didn't receive the discount promised online to those visiting Cedarville University. ||If our child ends up choosing Cedarville, I think we'll at least look into places in Yellow Springs. For the price difference, it's not much further...

We stayed at the Hearthstone on our way back from Virginia. It was our first time staying there, but it definitely will not be our last time.

It is a beautiful small hotel in a small town, which is only about 10 minutes off of interstate 35 and about 35 minutes away from Dayton.

The staff members were all very friendly and efficient at taking care of any request. Their attention to detail was wonderful--the room and all of the common areas were extremely clean, the bed was very comfortable. There are two sinks--one in the bathroom and one outside of the bathroom, which makes it easy for two people to get ready at the same time. There is also a small refrigerator which is always convenient. We especially appreciated all of the extra small nice touches, such as soft name-brand Kleenex (two boxes--one in the bathroom and one in the bedroom), soft name-brand toilet paper and hand soap from Bath & Body Works and a note from the owners in the room.

If you are looking for a good night's sleep and want to escape the big hotel chains, do not hesitate to try the Hearthstone Inn--you will be...

I recently had the opportunity to stay two nights at the Hearthstone Inn & Suites in Cedarville. To say that my experience surpassed my expectations would be an understatement.||From the friendly front-desk staff to the immaculately clean room (I couldn't even find dust on top of the armorie or light fixtures!), I was very impressed with the attention to detail and genuine hospitality offered.||I have to admit that I was a bit concerned that I'd be walking into an outdated and frumpy facility when looking at photos online, but I was pleasantly surprised to find an upscale yet homey vibe. The rooms weren't "modern" in their decor, but nothing looked outdated.||The biggest draw for me choosing to stay at this location was its proximity to Cedarville University, as my oldest was visiting the school. It is an easy walk to main campus from the inn.||Since she's decided to attend Cedarville, I anticipate we'll be frequent guests at the Hearthstone Inn over the...
