We stayed two nights at the Classic Inn in Toledo. The reason I chose this hotel--and I can be a bit of a hotel snob--is we were looking for cheap and clean. Could care less about amenities, literally just looking for a place to sleep that was convenient to the highway, clean and inexpensive. For this, the Classic was perfect. First, I will admit that we were the ONLY people in the entire hotel for both nights stay...which was a little "Shining" for us, but hey...it was quiet! We were going from Cleveland to Detroit on Sunday and Monday night so I was looking for something midway between the two. We left Cleveland and took I-280 North in Toledo and the Classic was directly off the exit, near the 75 N interchange. So we did not have to veer off path. It was late Sunday night, so check in was performed through a window in the front. This is a very old hotel, so it is not kept up well regarding the aesthetics...wallpaper peeling, paint chipping, etc...but it was clean. We had room 113 and again, it wasn't a beautiful room, but it smelled fine and appeared to be clean. The double bed was surprisingly comfortable as were the pillows. I actually take my own pillow and small thermal blanket to hotels like this, so it does make it a bit more tolerable in the event I am worried about cleanliness. The bathroom was clean, towels were clean and white, tub was clean, good water pressure, toilet clean. No hair dryer in the room, so be sure to pack your own.

Monday morning we slept in, of course it was nice and quiet. Around 10 am we got up and my husband ventured down to the main desk where we were told there was a "continental breakfast"......this consisted of coffee and cookies. Again, we were looking for frills so it was fine...got some coffee and cookies and hit the road. Little over an hour to Detroit. Came back later that night and again slept just fine. Tuesday morning we went to check out and of course that was easy...still the only folks there! However, upon leaving the room the carpets in the hallway were being cleaned by housekeeping. So it's not like they just let it run down completely. Also, my husband was able to jump on one of a couple of computers with free internet access to get some weather information and he said it worked fine and was surprisingly fast.

I stress again, that if you are looking for a cheap place to stay that's clean, this was great. It's rundown, yes, but for $36 a night it's WELL worth it.

I agree the price is very reasonable specially for Toledo where I have not found similiar prices with this big property, and true they are right off the interstate 280 freeway exit 12.
Last month I stayed in a franchised hotel with swimming pool in Toledo and paid $70 for a single room a night, however when I went to the pool and saw the people around it, I just lost my appetite to swim.
At Classic Inn I paid $35.99+Tax for a single room per night, turn out to be a good deal for me.
They have swimming pool rules posted at the front desk making sure customer is aware of it which is good. My thoughs are that they care about their pool ! And at the price I was paying I did not mind !
The room was big, and it had it's own bathroom. After taking a shower I took 280 north, that turn into 75 north and the first exit 1 1/2 mies away, I found 24 hour Kroger market; the second exit off 75 north Alexis Road about 3 miles away, left turn at the exit, there was a 24 Hour Meijer's market which was big.
When I return from interstate 75 south from Alexis Road, I had to stay on the left side since the Manhattan Blvd. exit as you approach 280 freeway was on the left side.
After eating my food, I watch some movies on thier HBO channels and went to sleep.
In all I found this hotel to be satisfactory.

A rough diamond at a reasonable price ! and I like this hotel for it's reasonable price, convenience of freeways location and local access to food locally.
I have been in Toledo two times earlier and stayed in downtown close to the Convention center only to be horrified at another hotel where I end up paying $69 + Tax for single room per day that wasn't my monies worth !
This hotel was right off the 280 freeway exit; large property in size, and the rooms were bigger. This hotel has all interior corridor with multiple exits and access control entrances. I paid about $36 + Tax for a single room per day and enjoyed it. At about 3:00am I got hungry drove 1/2 a mile right on Mahattan Blvd. from the hotel and found 24 hour drive through McDonalds at the Manhattan Plaza that fill my appettite.
At my earlier stay in downtown I could not find fast food after midnight.
I earlier also went on Manhattan Blvd and made left turn on Summit Street, where I found a nice golf course and yachting boats loading and parking area (5 to 7 miles), pathway for jogging next to the river and Point Place, a small community, yet I did not have much time because of my work.
I found that have a large swimming pool however the front desk staff are very picky making sure that it does not get ravaged by kids!
I also found they had a mini self serve laundry facility which I utilized to do my laundry!
In all I found it to be very reasonable hotel.

This place was just nasty. My son and I went there early (before our appointment in the area) so he could go swimming cause it was so hot. We get there, the hotel was nothing like we expected. It was run down. After I paid my money for the room, we asked where the pool was, the man told me that the pool is not up and running. By the looks of it, it hasn't been up and running for a long time. The lawn was unkempt. The man at the counter was real rude. Per the orbitz on line when I booked it, there was also suppose to be internet access, there wasn't. There was no restaurant in the hotel as mentioned. Golf was about 20 minutes away. The listing for this hotel was way off. There was nothing around there that my son and I could do, we had to drive 20-30 minutes away to find anything. If I would of known all this, I wouldn't of paid for this place. We didn't have anywhere else we could go and home was just about 2 hours away and we had to be at my daughters softball games early the next morning. I don't recommend this place to anyone.
