MOLD!!

We stayed in room 39. We couldn’t figure out the smell it had. Got to looking & the room had tons of mold in it. They moved our room. The grounds are poorly cared for as well. The rooms were not very clean. I don’t understand how housekeeping never found the mold before us. You could smell it. The entire room was very damp. Horrible experience. We will never stay there again.

Very cute little hotel! Stayed here randomly and was pleasantly surprised. A cute little bar is attached too. The patio/garden area is nice. If I would have had more time I would have enjoyed coffee and read my book out there. Only negatives was the room smelling musty and there was water on the bathroom floor.

Lovely bedroom, quality and environmentally friendly soaps; the same is true for the buffet breakfast, including excellent coffee, real half and half and porcelain mugs. Dont let the somewhat run down exterior fool you! This is excellent value for money and a real gem.

Clean and relatively quiet place. It’s convenient to get to popular places, and just far enough off the main road so it’s quiet. They have live music on the weekend, which is cool!

Lovely hotel

I loved this hotel. It is like an old fashioned motel where you park in front of your room. They had a lovely garden patio in the back. The bed was really comfortable and the front desk people were both kind and helpful. Even though there were always a lot of cars, I rarely saw or heard anyone else. It was a lovely stsy.

Stay here again

We stayed here before. It is so convenient to IU. Staff are always friendly, and the room is so quiet, comfortable bed, and a quiet "hidden garden" that is so serene. It has plenty of towels, cups, coffee, tea, in the room a nice soap and body lotion.

The lobby is must and unkempt, the parking lot, stairs, and walkways are in disrepair. The room was clean but the furniture has peeling veneer, the toilet didn’t have enough water pressure to flush properly, and the tub wouldn’t drain. I feel bad for those patrons spending $1000/night over family weekend. This place was barely worth the $64/night that I spent.

There's a vintage vibe about this property, and it's a little shaggy (overgrown plants, etc.), which I liked. I get the sense it's an older motel that has been updated thoughtfully and with love. Clean and very good value for the $. Bed comfortable, AC worked fine. No place in room to sit and eat, but that's not a big problem. Did not eat the breakfast but they do have one. I'd stay again.

So pretty. The room was just a normal clean hotel room, nothing fancy but not bad in any way. The outside was so nice. My husband and I sat outside multiple times talking in the terrace area. Others were out there also. Will definitely come back. The little hiking option was super nice. I walk with a cane (I'm middle aged) and I was able to easily get around without any issues. Everything was very accessible.
