“Great hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2009

person found this review helpful

This is the place to stay in Fostoria. Clean, quiet, and conveniently located. Well kept property, inside and out.

Fostoria is a hot spot for rail fans, and the hotel welcomes them. It is a great home base when train watching in the area. It is also an easy (and scenic) drive up to Sandusky / Lake Erie. The staff is friendly and glad to help guests find their way to all of the area railfanning spots, as well as to the other sightseeing options in Northern Ohio. (And for those strange people who have no interest in trains, the hotel is located far enough away from the train traffic that you won't be bothered with any train noise).

Fostoria is a quaint small town in Northern Ohio that makes a great little weekend getaway. Besides all of the train traffic in Fostoria, there are also additional railfanning spots in nearby Deshler and Bellvue. The Mad River / Nickel Plate Road Museum is also in Bellvue and is well worth a visit for rail fans. If you get out and look you can also find a few places in the area to shop for Fostoria glass. The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Site and Seneca Caverns are not far away, and it's an easy (approx. 1 hour) drive up to Sandusky for Cedar Point or island-hopping excursions. For the golf addicts there are also some golf courses close by. The hotel staff seems happy to help you find your way around to everything.

“Pleasantly Surprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2008

Since this is the only "decent" place in small-town Fostoria, we weren't really expecting much. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel is very well run. The common areas seem to have been renovated very recently, and the lobby is decorated with Fostoria glass and other memorabilia. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tub area were clean, and towels were readily available. The continental breakfast was adequate -- the coffee was good, and the make-your-own waffles were a hit with my husband and son. Our only slight complaint is that the mattress was very uncomfortable -- the bed sagged yet felt too firm, squeaked a lot and was hot because of the plastic mattress cover under the sheet. An extra pillow tucked behind my back on the second night helped with the comfort level. We were visiting relatives for the holidays, and the hot tub was a great way to destress after a long drive to get there.

  • Liked — Cleanliness - friendliness - location (in town)
  • Disliked — mattress

“awesome hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2007

My sister and I went on vacation. Staying at this hotel was an awesome expierence. Having staying at other hotels this one really stands out. The ladies were very helpful in giving directions, letting us use the hotel computer (the guest pc was not working), etc... .All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The next morning they asked how we enjoyed the previous day. All the staff I talked too were like you knew them a long time. The room was extremely clean. We had a non-smoking room and it smelled fresh and clean when we walked in. I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. I would highly reccommend this hotel to everyone! Overall, this hotel gets two thumbs up!! Thanks Best Western Fostoria Inn & Suites!!!!

  • Liked — super friendly staff and cleanliness of entire hotel
  • Disliked — nothing i didn't like!

“Comfortable Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2007

person found this review helpful

Only Full Service in Fostoria, Clean and Comfortable Rooms. I had a 1st Floor room, A/C worked well, Indoor Pool available. Hotel is located at the northern tip of town and is in a Very Quiet Area. For the Rail Buffs that flock to Fostoria - The CSX Mainline to Toledo is only 3-4 Blocks away, The Iron Triangle is a meer 5 minutes to the hotel. Hotel Caters to railfans, and CSX Maint. of Way Truck were located in the parking lot. Only Problem was the Cont. Breakfast, Items were low and not being refilled, Staff Member seemed to not be attentive to the needs of the hotel guests in the breakfast area.

  • Liked — Hotel Location, Clean Rooms
  • Disliked — Continental Breakfast Area.

“Really Nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2007

person found this review helpful

We were visiting my family in Fostoria and this place was definitely our home away from home. It is so quiet and comfy. The beds and pillows are very comfortable too. The room was rather large for what we paid for at just $66.00 a night for a non-smoking queen room with AAA. It was also extremely clean! You could smell a fresh clean smell
when you entered the room...even the bedding smelled like fresh laundry. The carpeting looked brand new and the overall appearance of our room looked as though it had been remodeled recently. My family told us that it used to be a Holiday Inn Express, but it was bought out by Best Western. We had never stayed at a Best Western before, however this left place a very good impression on us so we will always stay there everytime we visit. It appeared to be the best
hotel in town compared to some of the others. The front desk staff were very nice and friendly. They have a free breakfast bar each morning, which was one of the best varieties we have had and they have trays so you can take it back to your room. They also had a nice indoor pool and spa, but since we were visiting family, we did not get a chance to use them. I would definitely recommend this hotel
to anyone visiting.

  • Liked — How spacious, clean and comfortable it was
  • Disliked — There was actually nothing I can say that we did not like
