Worse stay at a hotel. We stayed in room 333 with a king bed. The bed had broken springs with huge lumps. The pillows were in terrible condition. The shower pan looked like a miner used it to wash themselves. There is a flashing fire alarm light that blinks every 7 seconds directly in front of the bed, which was super annoying for sleeping. The hotel walls were poorly made and you can hear the cars so loudly from the bed. Even blasting white noise doesn’t cover it. The carpet was stained and the ceiling had black marks on it that looked like insects squashed. I’m not picky about hotel rooms, a normal bed with a clean shower is all I ask to have, but they couldn’t even provide that. The pictures that they show are not accurate to the room quality. There was a bunch of minors things also wrong(small parking lot, spider in bathroom, rude staff, odd light switches), but those things are normal for hotels and usually don’t warrant a bad review. This hotel is truly worth a 1 star review!

My only negative observation is concerning the bathroom shower. Signs of Mildew or Mold at junction of the back wall and the tub. Secondary observation was that bottom of Ty’s was very slippery when getting into shower. Needs a non-slip coating or a in tub mat. Room 303.

Good for a short stay. Conveniently located. Close to food and shops. Walking distance to everything. Six minute drive to IC college. Room smelt like wet carpet and feet. Breakfast was great. Shower needs some bleach but over all enjoyed the stay. Would stay again and recommend for short stays.
