Location and Transport

Ohio University Inn and Conference Center is on the campus of Ohio University, near Old Man's Cave, Ash Cave, and Conkle's Hollow. The hotel is 85 km from Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport. Athens Public Transit (ATP) is a fixed route public bus system serving the City of Athens, Ohio, including the Village of Chauncey and The Plains. The rolling hills and well-maintained roads of Athens and Southeastern Ohio attract motorcyclists and car enthusiasts.

Services and Facilities

The hotel includes free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour business center, event-planning, and catering services. It provides safe solutions for corporate teams, such as the Meeting Bubble Program, which facilitates productive meetings by creating a bubble environment. The venue features a ballroom and five meeting rooms with a total capacity for up to 480 guests. Pets are welcome.

“What stands out is the inn's dedication to local flavor, not just in Cutler's Restaurant, but also through the staff's curated recommendations; plus, bringing your dog along feels less like a compromise and more like an extension of home. Its proximity to both campus events and Hocking Hills makes it a launchpad with unusual breadth. I'd say it's a solid choice, especially if you appreciate genuine hospitality.”
