Affordable Hotels in College Towns - Holiday Inn Elms Hotel, Oxford, Ohio

Comfortable cheap hotels can be hard to find in college towns. That is why one of the best affordable hotels I have experienced is the Holiday Inn, also called the Elms Hotel. This choice of affordable hotels is located in Oxford Ohio, home to Miami University.

The best budget lodging is clean, spacious and comfortable, and this option for affordable hotels ticks all the boxes. The Holiday Inn Elms Hotel is located one block south of High street in Oxford, Ohio. It is one of the best budget lodging choices if you want to stay near the heart of Oxford, Ohio and Miami University. Unsurprisingly, this choice of comfortable cheap hotels is popular with parents of Miami University students. It makes sense to book well in advance. This is especially important during the academic year or when a concert, game or other event is happening in Oxford, Ohio.

This stellar example among affordable hotels has 60 rooms and 34 specialty suites. Some of the rooms even include a Jacuzzi. Look on the website for the king suite with a whirlpool. This type of room also includes a microwave, refrigerator and wet bar. The self-catering option can be a convenient and more affordable alternative to restaurants. Another plus - the informative website of the Holiday Inn at Oxford Ohio includes diagrams of the rooms so you know what to expect.

As well, this option for comfortable cheap hotels has three restaurants on the premises. There is a dining venue for every palate, including Three Trees Irish Pub and Dipaolo's Restaurant. On the lower level, there is the more casual Buffalo Wild Wings where you can watch your favorite sports on the flat screen TVs.

Downstairs, there is a medium size fitness center - however it is clean and well-maintained the perfect size for the number of guests. There were certainly enough machines to go around when I visited! It is much more comfortable than those intimidating fitness 'meccas' provided by flashier hotels. Also, a few miles from this choice of comfortable, cheap hotels is a golf course.

The friendly, helpful atmosphere makes the Holiday Inn at Oxford, Ohio the best budget lodging options in a college town. Furthermore, the spacious well-maintained rooms, restaurants and central location make the Holiday Inn Elms Hotel stand out among affordable hotels.
