I've stayed at the Hope Hotel twice now. The price was one of the hotel's attributes. Accommodations here aren't expensive compared to other hotels, and you're getting a bit more than you pay for here. First of all, despite the Regan-era furnishings and overall dated appearance, this is a very clean hotel. The staff were very friendly. One of the maintenance staff rode the elevator with me and wanted to make certain everything worked in my room as it should. Everything was just fine. That isn't to say the rooms, bathrooms, and hallways aren't a bit old-looking. A new coat of paint, NEW BEDS (!), and new chairs would work wonders. It's a very, very quiet place. This is no party hotel, and it's off the beaten track, so I felt that my car would be safer than at a hotel located on Col. Glenn or near the plaza in Beavercreek. However, being off the beaten track is also a downside because you'll be driving a few minutes to find a nicer gas station, restaurant, or grocery store.They have a restaurant. It's called "Packy's." It's okay. Staff are friendly and helpful. This time I ordered their pizza, which was surprisingly bland. Like, out of a Chef Boyardee box-bland. Not bad, mind you. Just... bland. Their burgers are generally better. Recommended if you're tired and don't want to venture out.
Overall, this was the second of two good stays at the Hope.
