Here’s an honest review, the workers were all super nice! But the property is seriously dated in every aspect! It could be a gold mine, but there are zero amenities (no bar, no restaurant, no real gym and the limited drinks, snacks were pretty much out and not replenished) it smells like weed in many areas on and off when we came in and out, we were there which is fine if you don’t care. The sheets on my bed were clean but dirty. Stains were on them DO NOT put sheets onto a bed if this is the case throw them out! I was grossed out and slept in the other bed which was totally fine. The hot water didn’t work at first took about 10 mins of non-stop running for it to work. The TV is sooooo old u can barely see the images but it did work. The location was OK, you need a car if you stay here and go see IU, if they really gut this place it could be great.

Great and convenient hotel! Just wish the bar area would have been open. The staff mentioned it hadn't been open back up since Covid! Looked like a fun spot to hang while waiting for our Uber if it would have been open. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful, accommodating staff. Welcoming check in, great communication. Room was clean and comfortable. Large workout facility with nice equipment. I would give the facility five stars if the restaurant that was advertised as being open by Travelocity & the hotel itself were actually open! According to staff it has been closed since 2020. I had a couple of issues with my room and upon reporting them to the front desk they were immediately corrected by the friendly maintenance staff.
