This is a very cheap hotel, so I didn’t expect much. The room itself was actually nicer than I thought it would be—clean enough, comfy bed, mini fridge and microwave (bonus!). The rest of the hotel was…well, exactly what you’d expect at this price: a little run-down, a few things broken, and no breakfast despite the listing saying there was. Also, don’t count on cozy bedding—it’s basically two sheets, so bring your own blanket if you like being warm. The staff were very kind, though rarely at the desk. We only got one towel per person but could probably have asked for more. I didn’t see another guest my entire stay, which was a little eerie but also kind of peaceful. Being pet-friendly, it does have that “pet-friendly smell,” but not unbearable. Big perks: you can walk to McDonald’s, Casey’s, and Dollar Tree (all in the same parking lot), and it’s super close to the Cave State Park. Bottom line: if you want fancy, skip it. But if you’re a hiker who just wants a hot shower, a crash spot, and a cheap rate—you’ll be happy here. I’d definitely stay again when visiting the state park

I’m not sure if it being remodeled now or recently was. There was a lot of trash near the 2nd floor entrance. The room had almost all of the bulbs out above the sink. The room also felt very humid. We tried tuning the air conditioning to a cooler temperature to get it out.

Worst hotel experience

Rooms were dirty and not well maintained at all. Stuff in fridge from previous guests, toilet seat was broke in half. No breakfast asked for more to be brought out and girl fixed her plate instead!
