Hocking Hills Motel Review - Logan, Ohio

The Inn Towner and the Shawnee Inn

Chen Salis
When visiting the Hocking Hills in southeastern Ohio you will have many lodging options. In this review we will focus on The Inn Towner in downtown Logan Ohio. As well as the Shawnee Inn motel on Lake Logan road in Logan Ohio.

The Inn Towner is the more affordable of the 2 motels. It is located on S Mulberry Street in downtown Logan. The rooms start at $35-40 a night. Nearby are the police station, savings hardware and Speedway . The motel is a little outdated, and it is small. The price suggests you could not expect too much luxury when staying here. The Inn Towner does not offer a pool or hut tubs. It is in expensive and within walking distance to most of what the city of Logan has to offer. You can walk to most places worth visiting in Town from here.

The library is nice, it is nearby . When in Logan I would recommend you try Pizza Crossing Pizza, Julies cafe featuring chef David Shafer, The Spotted Owl Cafe also on Main Street and for breakfast stop at Pennies Pastries for a cream filled donut or a peanut butter donut if you can get them! They are wonderful !

If you like old cemeteries walk up to the high school. Take Mulberry up and you will run into the old cemetery . The trees are huge, the graves are very old and you will see squirrels.

The Inn Towner is not that nice of a place but if you are on a budget and not looking for luxury it should be just fine!

The Shawnee Inn Motel is located conveniently off of SR 33 on Lake Logan road. The motel is nicely cared for and very clean and quiet usually. The rooms start at about fifty dollars a night. The staff is friendly and the rooms are comfortable. You do not get a pool or hot tub here either but it is nicer than the Inn Towner.

Nearby are several restaurants featuring BBQ and Mexican food. Also a bait shop for all of your fishing needs. Lake Logan offers swimming, fishing and boat rentals. It is a nice quiet lake and a nice spot for a picnic.

The Shawnee Inn is located conveniently near the area Visitor Center and Walmart as well as Remples Grove where you can visit the free small animal zoo. Or play mini golf, go canoing , browse the antique store or have diner at the Old Dutch restaurant. Or maybe just ice cream It is a charming little area full of history.

Old Mans Caves are located just a few minutes drive out State Route 664 South. This is the most visited of all the State Parks in Hocking County.

The Shawnee Inn is a good value . The motel is located within range of the best spots in Hocking County. The staff is nice and they do a great job. I would recommend The Shawnee Inn to anyone traveling to the Hocking Hills region. It is a good value and a nice family friendly motel.
