Findlay's BEST Kept Secret? This Quality Inn Will SHOCK You!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into this "BEST Kept Secret" Quality Inn in Findlay, Ohio. I’m talking the kind of hidden gem that makes you question your whole life, like, “Wait, this is Findlay?!” (And, yes, I’m using exclamation points generously because… well, you’ll see.)
First Impressions (And a Slight Panic Attack about the Front Desk):
Okay, so the promise is this Quality Inn is a shocker. And, frankly, I was skeptical. Findlay, Ohio? My expectations were… modest. Let’s be honest. Pulling up, the exterior looked… fine. Standard. A smidge… meh. But the promise – the promise – was enough to keep me from turning around and hightailing it back to the interstate.
I will say, checking in was a process. Not a disaster, but let's just say there was a moment of sheer, silent panic as I fumbled for my phone to find the confirmation email, all while the friendly, but maybe slightly overworked, desk clerk patiently waited. He was nice, bless his heart, but I swear I saw a flicker of "another one…" in his eyes. (This is where I confess I’m terrible at the whole check-in thing.) HOWEVER! Accessibility was on point. The lobby (and subsequently, the entire hotel) was blessedly wheelchair accessible, and that's HUGE for anyone traveling with mobility concerns. The elevator worked beautifully, which is always a relief.
Rooms: The Unexpected Delight (And a Minor Closet Crisis):
The room. That's where the "shock" factor began to kick in. I’m talking air conditioning blasting (thank you, sweet baby Jesus), an extra long bed (yes!), and… whaaaaat? Free Wi-Fi?! IN EVERY ROOM?!?! (And, crucially, it worked. Actually worked!)
The room was clean. Seriously clean. And, honestly? The bed was ridiculously comfortable. Like, "I could live here" comfortable. The bathroom was well-lit, the shower had great water pressure, and the toiletries were actually decent. A minor closet crisis ensued when I thought I'd lose my jacket due to the hanger situation. But minor.
Now, to address the checklist of amenities— let me tell you, this place ain't skimping:
- Available in all rooms: This is where they crush it. From the Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, and Carpeting to the Closet, Coffee/tea maker, and Complimentary tea, this place really made sure the room was well equipped. And it includes Daily housekeeping, Desk, and Extra long bed.
- Internet access: Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless and best of all Wi-Fi [free].
- Safety/security feature: In-room safe box, Smoke detector, and Window that opens.
- Bedding and Linen: Linens and Towels, plus a Scale.
Things to Do (Because, You Know, Findlay):
Okay, let’s face it. Findlay, Ohio isn’t exactly the Bahamas. BUT! This hotel actually makes a pretty good base camp.
- Things to do, ways to relax and Spa: This is where it gets interesting for the hotel. This hotel did not have a spa, so you not going to be able to relax in a Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, and Swimming pool [outdoor]. But hey the location of the hotel is where you going start to find things to do.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Because Food is Life):
I’m a foodie. A serious one. So, the dining situation was… a concern. The hotel boasts a Breakfast [buffet], which is a solid start. Now, I am not a buffet snob. I appreciate a hot breakfast option.
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: The hotel has Restaurants and Restaurants and Coffee/tea in restaurant. Also Snack bar if you are looking for some quick grabs.
- Breakfast: Now I do love my breakfast and what I like to find is Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western breakfast, and Western cuisine in restaurant.

This section is crucial. Because let’s face it, we’re all a little germaphobic these days. And the hotel GETS IT.
- Cleanliness and safety: They are doing everything in their power to make sure this is your thing. The Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays make me feel safe that they are using Professional-grade sanitizing services.

This is where the hotel really shines. They've thought of everything.

Lakshmi's Hotel Ella: Sri Lanka's Hidden Paradise (Unbelievable Views!)Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This ain't your grandma's perfectly-ironed itinerary. This is real life in Findlay, Ohio. And by "real life," I mean a desperate attempt to find a decent breakfast before the existential dread truly sets in. Here we go…
FINDLAY, OHIO: A Journey into the Heart of… Well, Findlay.
Day 1: Arrival & the Quest for Wi-Fi (and a Soul)
2:00 PM: Landed in Findlay. Okay, "landed" is a strong word. More like, "arrived in my rental car, which smells faintly of fast food and regret." First impressions: the Quality Inn facade is a muted beige, almost… apologetic? Like it's saying, "Sorry, we're not Vegas." I appreciate the honesty.
2:15 PM - 2:45 PM: Check-in. The front desk lady, bless her heart, clearly had a long day. She fumbled with the key card, mumbled something about the pool being closed (tragic!), and then… SUCCESS! Room key secured. Victory! Now, to find Wi-Fi. Hotel Wi-Fi is always a gamble. Pray for a strong signal, people. Pray hard.
2:45 PM - 4:00 PM: Room recon. Okay, the room is… clean. Mostly. The fluorescent lighting gives everything a slightly… clinical feel. Like I’m about to get my appendix removed. But hey, the bed looks comfy, and that's all that really matters. Spent 30 minutes trying to connect to the Wi-Fi. Eventually, I got it! My laptop is alive again!
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Trying to find my inner peace. Failed. Stared blankly out the window at the parking lot a good long while. I swear, I saw a tumbleweed blow by. Okay, maybe not. But I felt it in my soul. The utter stillness… the vast expanse of asphalt… it's a metaphor for something profound, I just can't put my finger on what.
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner. Okay, this is where things get interesting. Spotted a "family diner" down the road called Bob Evans. Figured, hey, classic Americana! I can't even explain how crowded this place was. I thought I was in heaven when I found that there were a table. The food was… adequate. The mashed potatoes tasted suspiciously like they came from a box, but the sausage was, surprisingly, pretty good. And the waitress, a woman named Carol, was a goddamn angel. She had that effortless, small-town charm that could melt glaciers. She made you feel like you're the most important person in the world. I tipped her well.
Day 2: A Whirlwind of Art, History, and Existential Crises.
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast Debacle. The complimentary breakfast at the Quality Inn is… an experience. It involved a sad-looking bagel, some suspiciously orange juice, and a coffee that tasted like despair. I seriously considered just going back to bed.
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM: Okay, I tried to visit the local Hancock County Historical Museum. And I'm gonna be honest, it was… fine. The exhibits had a certain charm, and I was able to learn a lot about Findlay. I learned that Findlay has a deep history of oil fields and glass factories, which is… interesting!
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM: Lunch and a Major Decision. Ended up at a place called Old Millstream in the city. Okay. This place did not fail to amaze me. The food was hot and delicious, and the prices were cheap. The employees were friendly, and, oh, wow! A very nice place! But I had to decide on what to do after. I could either walk in the park, or go back to the hotel. I chose going to the hotel, of course.
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: More Room Time. And for what? NOTHING but to get more comfortable. Read a book, checked my emails, and actually considered my life. I don't know what is going on, but there's this feeling that I'm missing something in this hotel.
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The Pool That Wasn't. Remember that closed pool I mentioned? Well, I figured I'd go see it anyway. Figured, maybe it's like behind a door, I can peep inside. So I stood in the lobby for a while (like a weirdo, lol), debating with myself. Eventually, I gave up on my pool hopes.
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Time for a snack and go to bed. The best thing about being in a hotel: you can binge watch all day long. So I ordered some pizza, and watched some shows. I went to bed very full and happy.
Day 3: Departure
8:00 AM: Oh, the despair of the complimentary breakfast returns! The coffee tasted like mud again.
9:00 AM: Check out. Key card surrendered, with a sigh of relief.
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Final Thoughts on Findlay. Honestly? It was… okay. Nothing earth-shattering. But sometimes, that's enough. It was a place to rest my head, eat some mediocre food, and contemplate the vastness of the human experience.
10:00 AM: Leave, hopefully with a slightly stronger Wi-Fi signal and less despair.
