Great property and easy check-in/out process. I was in town for my HS reunion and this place worked out perfectly. Everything was top quality from the room, amenities, communication, etc. I love that the owners have renovated and repurposed a historic building, giving it new life. I highly recommend this property if you are staying in Chillicothe.
