It's a ghetto hotel but the rooms are nice for the price. Very comfortable and home like. Im happy they added mini fridges to the rooms also. I would not recommend their hot tub room tho. That tub is extremely disgusting. But overall it's not bad.

Neat and clean room. Close to restaurants, gas stations, and the freeway. If you want to pay cash for your room, they charge you an additional $25 but you get it back when you check out. Direct tv with extra channels. It was pretty quiet. Nice place to go if you need a quick getaway! Rooms were fairly priced.

They were very friendly, and polite answering my questions about local spots. They have smoking and non-smoking. They even have a Jacuzzi room with a king bed period at reasonable rates for the area. I will stay there again while I'm in town

I hadn't stayed here at The Kozy Inn for quite some time and I have to say that everything was so much nicer than before. Great service, nice room and the maid service was quite helpful as well.

It's nice and clean they have the laundromat and I think they also do Extended Stay which is really nice if you're going to be in town for a week or just need a place in between places

We were on our way down to Cincinnati from Cleveland after a concert. We were tired and decided to find a place to stay about halfway to our destination to yet another concert (same bands, too; Matchbox Twenty and Counting Crows). We pulled into a hotel downtown so we could rest and recharge, but we were shot down and told the two words we feared that night: NO VACANCY. All of the hotels were booked solid. Ironically it was due to a different concert (Bruno Mars) that apparently every person in Ohio went to and decided to stay in Columbus. We kept trying and getting turned away. We were so very tired and disheartened. We decided to stop for gas and get some caffeine because we figured on having to drive all the way to Cincinnati to find a place to stay. Lo and behold! We spied our beacon of hope: the Kozy Inn. We were prepared for disappointment when we heard the magic words: yes, we have A ROOM AVAILABLE. We were overjoyed. Tiny forest animals appeared and sang a lovely tune. We were going to rest our weary heads! I honestly have no idea how much the room was. It was just your basic motel room, but it was a palace to us. It had two beds and a bathroom. That's all we needed to rest and ready ourselves for our next adventure. Major bonus points for having a restaurant right beside it. We ate breakfast before our long ride to Cincinnati. If and when we find ourselves in the same area, we would definitely stay again.

Its actually a nice place to stay for the area it's in. I don't care much for the air freshener it doesn't smell that great but the air works good and so does everything else. I will probably stay here again and also recommend it to anyone that ask me if I know of any good rooms to stay in.
