Scioto Inn — Hotel in Urbana

What an excellent weekend "getaway" my 28-year old daughter and I had at the historic Scioto Inn!

Our room #203 (a "Deluxe Suite") was extra spacious as it included a living room area with tv, couch and chairs, and separate kitchenette room with dining table "breakfast nook" and walk-out back porch. Every detail was attended to with obvious extra care, from the unique furniture pieces to the curated decor. Our room was so quiet, despite the Inn being filled to capacity, we heard no one.

All of the common areas were beautifully decorated, with museum-level displays. Honestly, I felt luxury all around me, along with a great comfort and warmth of welcome.

I recommend you plan your visit to the Scioto Inn today. Just as I did following through with intentional "adult daughter time" -- set that date. And then get away! This Inn is a gem, with old-time attention to detail few "regular" bed and breakfasts provide (the folded first tissue of the box, specially selected bar soap, down-feather pillows, special requests for birthdays or anniversaries like flowers or chocolates...).

I cannot forget to mention, the first view inside upon arriving is the Atrium which sets the tone for your getaway. Look for the real Lemon tree! Even that is quite old and has a story.

Inn owner Richard Colvin is simply a lovely human. If you have the pleasure of meeting him on your stay, ask Rich about some of the Urbana buildings he has saved from falling in on themselves; you will be intrigued and amazed.

"Downtown" historic Urbana is a multi-street "Main Street" town with interesting shops and amazing restaurants like Cafe Paradisio. The stately homes are a preservationists' dream.

I will treasure this memory in my...

Wife and I stayed in Urbana for two nights and wanted to stay somewhere a little unique. This little hotel is ideally situated near the middle of town, within very easy walking distance of shopping, restaurants and cafe's. The owner, Richard, was very responsive to emails and extremely helpful while we were onsite.||The Inn is very clean and well decorated with art from local, Ohio artists. The historic flavor to the Inn has been kept and has a small-town feel to it. The front of the building is a nice welcome as you enter through the front porch and enclosed public seating area. Our room was 203 at the top of the stairs.||The room was very well appointed with a comfortable queen sized bed, a modern bathroom, sitting area, small kitchen area, and a back porch/sitting area. Unfortunately, it was just too cold to sit outside, but would have been a nice touch in the warmer months.|| Within the room there was more than enough room to hang coats (being December in Ohio!) and more than enough room to spread out. The kitchen area had a nice seating area, small refrigerator and sink, along with space to store some dry goods if we would have been staying longer.||The Inn is very quiet, comfortable and...
