"One night stay in Defiance Ohio"

Very nice modern, clean, attentive, friendly hotel. Very good hot breakfast with many choices. Very nice atmosphere. Quick response to a TV issue we had. Nice quiet area and very close to Defiance College, which is why we chose this hotel. It may have been slightly more expensive than some others in the area, it was worth it!
