While the hotel was clean, the room we were in the hot water was luke warm at best, the television in our room was small, the reception on several channels was poor. On hotels.com, it said they has a balcony or patio. The patio leading to the pool has been closed since Covid. The sliding door to it was disabled. Someone in the hotel smoked pot as the hall to my room, smelled of the skunk smell of smoked marijuana both friday and saturday. Indiana prohibits any smoking but nothing was done to stop whoever was smoking dope.
