Review of Hometown Inn Hotel in Galion Ohio

The Hometown Inn Hotel

By Emily Anne

The Hometown Inn in Galion, Ohio

If you are looking for decent hotels in the Galion area; the Hometown Inn Hotel is a good place to consider. The hotel's star rating is at a stable 3 to 5 stars. Most of the reviews from people that have had to stay in Galion are mostly good reviews. According to some of these reviews, the room and the beds seemed to be freshly cleaned and made with new linens. 

Features That Make This Galion Hotel Nice

This Galion hotel simply provides you with what you need, which features: free wifi, premium cable TV, free parking, it's handicapped accessible, it's air-conditioned, pet-friendly, and lastly, and there is a kitchen in all rooms. It's also a smoke-free property. There is no pool, hot tub or spa, and no fitness center. As far as hotels in Galion go, the best Galion hotel would have to be this one in my opinion.

Galion, Bucyrus, and Mansfield Area Attractions 

There are many attractions in the surrounding areas of Mansfield and Bucyrus that you can take advantage of while staying at this hotel, such as the Kingwood Center Gardens, the Gorman Nature Center in the Mansfield area. 

You can eat at area restaurants, such as the little Athens Greek restaurant in Mansfield, the Whistle Stop Cafe uptown in Galion, and Phil's Deli right around the corner from the Hometown Inn. 

In Mansfield, you can do a lot of learning by going to see the Biblewalk Museum, which is a wax museum filled with over 300 biblical wax and wood carvings. 

Another place in Mansfield is called, the Little Buckeye Children's Museum, which is a fun place for children to go and have fun creating music and art. 

There are also many fast-food restaurants in the Mansfield and Galion area, like Burger King, Taco Bell, and Dairy Queen up the street from the hotel, so if you need getting something quick to eat, they're right there. 

What Past Hometown Inn Customers Say

According to some other reviews, this hotel in Galion is known for its excellent customer service and they do happen to feed you well with a good, non-free breakfast. 

The rooms are very inviting because of how nice the decorations are and the rooms are painted in nice, warm colors and the beds are very comfortable. The staff is very accommodating and will do their absolute best to make their guest's stay is as comfortable as possible by being very welcoming, friendly, and fair towards their guests.

In conclusion, best Galion, the Hometown Inn Hotel is a pretty nice place to stay the night and that has a good price to stay. The staff does their best to make sure their guests are satisfied. 

I think that this hotel is a good place to stop during a business or family trip, just as someplace to rest for the night. 

The surrounding areas of Mansfield and Bucyrus make the experience at this Galion hotel better because of all the things you can do in those areas, but if you are looking for a quick place to stay the night, I think the Hometown Inn Hotel is the place to be. 

I want to say a special thank you to Emily Anne for submitting this review of the Hometown Inn in Galion.

Review of Sleep Inn Hotel in Galion Ohio

By Renmi

Quite the hotel. Such a splendid area. Who? Best Galion. For a week-long family trip, the Inn definitely made it all the more pleasant and impressionable. Who knew that’d be in Galion. Hotels in Galion! It’s one of those experiences that you don’t get on every trip. This one definitely is a total return for the next trip around.

Sorry for the smudges!

 I wanted to be sure all license plate numbers of the vehicles parked at the Galion Sleep Inn & Suites 

were removed for guest's privacy and I'm not great with Photoshop. 

Some pointers are definitely, the attractions have to be taken and that’s not for granted. If you need a business center, be sure to come ready to stay for a few days or even weeks with Mansfield, Bucyrus. Heck, you may even want to live here for a few months! No exaggeration. Mansfield has it. You’d only really know by personal experience. So totally consider stopping by Mansfield. It’s worth it and I’d rather make an earnest review than to allow another brethren to miss out on such opportune ventures.

Well over sixty-two rooms according to management, so selective choices are available on most days, they’re all the same really to an extent. It mainly comes down to features visitors desire to add for themselves and in this case, a definite recommend is a picnic and there’s wireless access in case you or beloved relatives need faster connections even if it’s a few using it.

Also for older visitors that may like to keep up with news stories v.i.a paper, daily fresh newspapers are available at the front desk which also grants free local calls if needed at any point. Also, it’d be horrible not to mention the vast breakfast provided daily as long as you’re staying at the hotel. These are feasts fit for kings and all alike who like to start their day strong by consuming susceptible amounts of delicacies in preparation for a wonderful day.

Keep in mind that often times some places may not even have pleasant facilities for handling laundry purposes but that isn’t a concern here at all. Manfield, Bucyrus, are no worries at all; truly reliable and not detested places that leave concern when handling business. Keep in mind, that ranges from all sorts of business. Mansfield is set.

That’s what gives it a solid star rating that doesn’t lie along with other reviews pointing out the same solid points that makes it a return winner for many. Galion hotel. You may very well be enthralled by the service and end up making a review just like this one. Or maybe not? Depends how star struck you end up becoming.

Even when leaving, you’ll probably reflect on when you first parked because parking isn’t as trash as other places. Free self-parking gives visitors the power to not feel all too restricted in the face of a sudden urgent occurrence. It's worse when you stop by for the night and realize you’re behind on your trip or have to get somewhere hastily at a sudden moments notice for whatever reason, again mobility is swift, with the reliable parking space open. Mansfield has done it well. Mansfield is decent.

If you stay in Galion, you can’t go wrong, you can’t do yourself a disservice and this isn’t alluding to it being the best, rather it’s considering many of the points brought here. Galion hotel deserves the visits.

I received this review of the Galion, Ohio Sleep Inn via email.

Galion Ohio and Statewide Trends for People Moving Out

In 2018, United Van Lines (UVL) surveyed 110,000 families the company helped move - to learn about people moving out. According to the survey results, one of the interesting trends presented in the State of Ohio - with 56.2% - or 6,684 families - moving out of the state. (I'm not sure the math is right on that, but those are the numbers cited by Forbes.)

Ohio Ranked Seventh Place for People Moving Out

In fact, UVL found Ohio to be 7th in the rankings of states with people moving out in droves. This could be considered bad news for the state and small towns like Galion, or it could be used as an incredible opportunity by those who choose to stay. (I prefer to think of it as an opportunity.)

Job Growth in Ohio

In 2018, Ohio experienced a job growth rate of 1.4%. Now, if the state's population were increasing, that could be troublesome. However, Ohio's population as of the last census was 11,658,600, and with an outward migration of 56%, according to UVL's study, that means there are a few more jobs than there were before and a significantly smaller number of people to fill jobs.

I've actually heard these types of comments from Galion business leaders, that there aren't enough qualified people to fill the jobs so the companies can meet the demand for Galion-produced products. Based on the state's outward migration trend, that isn't likely to get better any time soon - however - it's a huge opportunity, too. Here's why.

Average Household Incomes for Ohio vs Galion

First, using the latest available census data, the median Ohio household income is $54,106 - however - in Galion, the median household income is $20,291. That's a huge gap, but the opportunity part is still coming. What's the difference that's causing that gap?

It would be oversimplistic to say it's just one thing. But, there's one big thing that stands out. Education levels - and that ties back to the comments from local business leaders about not being able to find qualified workers.

• Galion is a touch over the state average for high school graduates, with 90.1% graduating compared to the state average of 89.8%. 
• But, a high school diploma doesn't bring a lot of opportunities for jobs that pay well in 2019. 
• The number of Galionites with Bachelor's degrees or higher is where the city really sees a disparity that's linked to the lower average incomes in the city. 
• At the state level, 27.2% of Ohioans have a Bachelor's degree or higher. 
• At the city level, only 14.0% of residents have a Bachelor's degree or higher. 

Lost Potential Can Equal Increased Opportunity

That translates to a lot of lost income potential for Galion residents. It also creates a lot of opportunity with so many people leaving the state. Galionites have the option to get educated in viable fields where the earnings are MUCH higher.

Companies that need qualified people could also expand on their job training programs or partner with a local nonprofit to help people get the needed training.

Galionites also have the option to seek out jobs in other cities that match their current levels of education. A third option would be to embrace entrepreneurship and start a business based on something already learned and familiar.

The gross state product of Ohio is $684 billion, and it's based heavily on two key sectors: 

1. Manufacturing
2. Financial services

What's more, out of the 1,000 biggest public and private companies in the US, 49 are based in Ohio. Will you get a job with these major companies without higher education? Probably not, though you can try. What you can do, is learn about the skills these major companies all over the state and consider commuting, or find out what skills local companies need in their workers and then get an education in those fields.

While the outrush of people from the state and current income numbers for Galionites seem kind of bleak at first glance, these things really are great opportunities if properly acted upon.
