"I was disappointed with my stay at this motel. When we asked for fresh towels, we only got 1 hand towel that was a little dirty; we were told we'd be charged because the dirt wouldn't come out in the wash. Be aware that a deposit is charged. Stay away.2021-09-26"

"A very enjoyable experience. Stay at this hotel.2017-03-04"
"We had a number of problems during our hotel stay. We were told to bring our luggage through the front to the elevator, so we had to pull our bags through the crowded lobby. It would've been easier to park in back and go through the back door to the elevator. The key cards didn't work on two different occasions, which was aggravating. I don't recommend staying here.2016-09-07"
"Decent hotel, but the bed was uncomfortable.2015-12-25"
"We were most satisfied with this hotel, and were impressed with the breakfast. Book it.2016-06-23"

"Clean hotel with good service. I found the bed uncomfortable, but my husband slept well. Nice breakfast.2016-04-18"
"The motel was quiet and seemed safe, and the employees were nice. The mattress was thin and squeaked when we moved, and the pillows were hard and old. The bathroom in our room was so dirty that we did sponge baths instead of taking showers. The toilet was bolted to the floor.2021-09-27"

"The hotel was a bit worn and shabby, but the employees were friendly and helpful. It's fine, but a no-frills place.2022-08-29"

"We never got a wastebasket in our motel room. Minimal towels, and there was no coffee or breakfast in the morning. It was good for a night's rest.2023-02-05"
"Good location and affordable rates. Renovations were underway during my stay, and the employees did the best they could under difficult circumstances. The renovation work wasn't well-done, at least in my handicap room, but it was clean. The large, mounted TV could be a hazard to small children, and I didn't like the duvet cover. I had to buy a shower curtain for the walk-in shower.2019-07-07"
"The hotel room wasn't well-cleaned. I couldn't use the AC because the air smelled like mold. The chair had large tears in it, and there was dried food on the blankets. The floor was uneven. The plaster was missing from the sides of the shower. Skip this one.2021-09-23"

"Nice hotel room, but noise from other guests late into the night made it hard to get any rest.2015-12-08"
"The room really needed updating. The beds were uncomfortable. The shower didn't drain well, and there was mold at the bottom of the shower curtain. Find another hotel.2015-04-07"

"Large, clean room. The staff was friendly, and breakfast was great. Stay at this hotel.2015-11-01"
"Considering the price, I was not impressed with this hotel. The room was small, the sink and mirror was tiny, and the TV picture was awful. The front desk clerk was unable to fix the TV, but a maintenance worker took care of it the next day. A party in the room next door kept us up late one night.2016-10-18"

"Clean room with comfortable beds and a selection of pillows. The hotel staff was polite.2017-05-02"

"Nice hotel. It's a good place to stay.2018-01-15"
"I was frustrated that the volume on the TV was set too low to comfortably hear. We were moved to a handicap room since the TV volume went higher, but the TV was farther from the bed so it was still hard to hear. One of the heaters only put out warm to cool air, so we had to rely on just one heater. I wouldn't stay at this hotel again.2016-11-27"
"My hotel stay was fine with the exception of housekeeping. My room wasn't serviced the 1st day, and the housekeeper knocked on my door at 9 AM the 2nd day.2015-09-02"
"Convenient to restaurants and gas stations. The hotel was nothing fancy, but it was clean. No breakfast because of Covid.2021-05-07"

"Handy location. This was an older hotel that showed some wear, but it suited our needs. I struggled with the AC and fridge. I did like the layout of my king room, and we were comfortable. Limited toiletries provided. The coffee could've been better. 2015-10-14"
"Good location and rates. Enjoyed the pool and whirlpool, but mistakenly left our bathing suits behind when we left the hotel. We returned and the hotel clerk wouldn't look for our suits and told us to return the next day, but by then we'd left town. Our suits were found and mailed to us at our expense; wish the staff had looked for them while we were at the hotel to retrieve them.2015-06-15"
"Close to restaurants and shops on Kirkwood, and just down the street from the IU campus. The hotel was nice and clean, and the employees were pleasant. The on-site parking garage was convenient.2018-01-11"
"The hotel was fine, but the rates during IU parents weekend were ridiculous, and we had to pay another $10 for parking.2016-09-29"
"Everything was great at this hotel, but I wish coffee had been available in the lobby all day.2015-04-23"
"The hotel and room smelled bad. The bedding was stained, and there was a ring in the toilet bowl. There were bugs crawling out of the sink, and we found a roach on the table. We got a bit of a discount when we complained at checkout, but we wouldn't stay here again and don't recommend it.2017-10-18"
"I had a pleasant, non-eventful visit. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We could hear the guests next door until after midnight. Be aware that the hotel fills up quickly when there are events at the university.2015-10-27"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
