How about a bar of soap for the shower and another for the wash basin? Having only one was really inconvenient, especially when paying Indy 500 weekend rates! Being cost-efficient is good; being cheap is not.

Great place shame about the WiFi !!

This was a nice hotel with good facilities and staff. However the WIFI was appalling if not slow it just stopped working and kept logging devices off. This needs attention ASAP. As UK traveler with roaming costs WiFi is critical.

Good hotel for the price but they could have a shuttle from the airport to the property, as there are quite a few other hotels in the same area and a shuttle could service all of them.

Just OK

Pro: Clean, spacious room Comfortable beds Cons: Wallpaper in room was bubbling off the wall. Looked like they tried to repair but failed. Curtains on window were torn from top to bottom and at the seams. Breakfast was supposed to start at 7:00. At 7:05 none of the food was out. It would not have been a big deal if we weren’t on a schedule, so we didn’t get to eat. The coffee maker was also out of order. I pick hotels based on if they offer breakfast, so this was disappointing.
