The staff was wonderful. The location for IU games is great. The rooms, however, are dated and really need an upgrade.

This was a last minute booking. The hotel is fine. Location is fine. The checking in and checking out process was quick. Staff was very friendly. Parking was great. The rooms are not so great. Carpets are stained and look dirty. The bed looked like someone had slept in it. We then realized the sheets were clean, maybe someone was in a hurry to make the bed? It was an ok stay for a last minute trip.

This hotel got the job done and was surface clean. However, it's showing its age with very stained carpets throughout the building, a rusted bathroom light fixture, and a broken toilet.

This facility barely meets ADA requirements. You must go outside and enter through an exterior door to reach your room without having to use stairs. The handicap shower is an adapted tub, so there is an issue with the height to step over, and the seat was pulling out of the wall. It was barely adequate.
