The Hotel at Oberlin

Pros +

• The Hotel General Manager made me feel appreciated and valued.
• Comfy bed Really nice hotel
• It's a nice hotel, very clean, large and nice gym. There's a restaurant in the hotel you can use for every meal if you wanted to, although they don't have complimentary breakfast. Good location, walking distance to Oberlin campus.

Cons -

• They don't have microwaves in the rooms, which is kind of annoying, although there is a communal one in the lobby you could use if you want to. For a hotel otherwise this nice that seems like kind a strange amenity to forego. The biggest thing you need to know is that this hotel doesn't have "real" air conditioning. They have some green-energy theming or something where there's some kind of passive cooling system that allegedly can change the temperature in the room by up to a 1 degree per hour; there's a large ceiling fan with different settings, and also a light indicator that tells you whether or not you can open the windows. It wasn't too uncomfortable most of the time, but one day when it was hot and very rainy and humid it shot up to 78 degrees in my room, which sucked. The gym, while nice, also isn't cool enough, presumably for the same reason. I have no idea what their climate control is like is cold weather, but at least in the summer if you're looking for traditional forced-air AC where you can have your room as cool as you want and quickly, definitely do not stay here. It's also fairly expensive, but there's literally no other actual hotels in Oberlin.
