Check in went ok, but we were immediately told the pool was out of order and has been for two weeks. I specifically booked the hotel because of locality and it had a pool. I could have booked a cheaper room elsewhere there were 8 different hotels at this exit on the highway. This room was very expensive for its rating. I’m am asking to have a partial refund for the 309.00 that I paid for this room. False information regarding the facility isn’t acceptable and leads to very disappointing stay.

Hotel room was very clean. The environment was very quiet so relaxation time when visiting family was awesome. The pool was in great shape and breakfast options were well stocked. Will stay again when coming to visit family in Lafayette

Very disappointed in our stay. Room was very outdated, heater/air unit made noises all night so we got no sleep, sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable. Pool wasn't open so they sent us across the street to their sister property. Weight room was tiny and had broken equipment in both properties. Saving grace was friendly staff and breakfast. Conveniently located off interstate and right next to Starbucks and Cracker Barrel but we didn't feel this was a good stay.

We stay at this hotel often when visiting family. We were a little disappointed with the pool this stay. The pool area had an odor and the pool was murky looking. Hopefully it was just in need of cleaning and will be better next time we stay. One of the things we like most is the friendliness of the staff! They are always so kind!

Stayed for a weekend. Security was non-existent. Any door into the hotel that required key card access was broken and no key was needed. Same for the pool and the gym. The TV in the room was weird. Every time the TV was turned on we had to find the new input and the screen did not fit the TV. The remote was so dirty, I had to clean it before. We were very disappointed in our stay.

The room was bearable, but was definitely NOT worth the price. The low points were that the shower floor was visibly dirty, and there was a spider inside. Also, the sheets for the pull-out couch were stained and the sheets on the king size bed were so old they were rough and uncomfortable to the touch.

I’ll start with the good. Excellent staff. Super helpful and accommodating. The area is ok, especially if you want to eat out. But, the cleanliness is verging on terrible. Stained furniture and carpet. Leftover popcorn under the sofa. Tiny shampoos and soaps. (The sheets seemed clean.) This should be an easy fix.

The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Overall, the facility looked clean. However, our room door was sticky (the entire door), the remote was sticky, the coffee pot was dirty and the wrapped stir sticks, etc. were also sticky. Now, I'm only hoping that the stickiness was caused by Lysol cleaners or something of that nature since it was the entire door, etc. and I know certain cleaners can tend to do that after repeated use, but it was gross. I felt I needed to clean my hands after touching anything.

The room was generally clean, although there were several red stains on the carpet. The door handle was not quite right. The lock would periodically get stuck. There was also a cracked light fixture in the room. Our biggest complaint was the noise level. We could hear every word of a conversation in the room next to us. That said, we felt safe. The breakfast was fine. The location is very convenient to restaurants and shopping and not too far from Purdue.

The Staff was absolutely delightful, but the room was extremely rough. 1 of the 5ish towels didnt have stains on it, the maitress wasn't clean and our door to the room seemed held on by a screw. I woke up with. a few bites on my arms and ear. While we checked for bed bugs and didnt see any super evidence of them...I really think the property could use some improvements. Again, staff was lovely.

The toilet seat in the room I stayed in was broken off. I was in the room for less than 5 minutes when I discovered this and went down to the front desk. The man working almost didn't believe me, he said no one including housekeeping had reported it. The hotel was fully booked so there was no room to move to and maintenance was gone for the day, so he basically said deal with it or leave and we will refund you. Upon checkout I tried to tell the front desk again but this worker walked away while I was still talking. So we ended up having to deal with a broken toilet seat the whole stay. The room itself was decent, but the couch was gross and the bathroom itself wasn't very clean. Everything is just worn out and needs replacing. There were marks on the shower curtain, stains on the curtains, and the sheets were pilled. I would not stay here again.

We were visiting Purdue for a college visit and needed a place to stay overnight. This was a good enough option. It was cheap, safe, clean, and offered free breakfast. We stayed in a king room with pull-out. The mattress on the pull-out was terrible so my son slept on it as a sofa. The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night but was turned off quickly. The breakfast was average but the chairs in the dining room were very worn. The staff at the desk were very nice. Overall, I got what I paid for.

Honestly, this property is acceptable but the cracks are starting to show. The lack of housekeeping for a full 5 day stay is really inconvenient. I don't need much but having TP, and towels replaced once during a stay, without having to get it myself would be nice. Additionally, I stayed here twice in 3 weeks and the ice machine was broken both weeks. This is a little thing but when traveling for work, small comforts are appreciated. Since after covid, it seems that they are penny pinching. Breakfast is unappealing.

Breakfast above average also, a good start to the day.

Everything at that exit seemed like it was worn out. Even the people seemed tired and worn out .. did not feel unsafe but felt worn out, abused and overlooked. Not sure why .. but people can only work with what they are provided with. The staff seemed a bit embarrassed since I guess they knew anyway .. Seemed sad. My only complaint is that I was not allowed to pay for my room with cash .. I had been ran through the system before I checked out of the room. That upset me .. I wish the manager I spoke with had invited me into her office and truly tried to rectify my situation .. but she blew me off and had little to say, other than 'sorry'.

I stay at this property several times a year and it's consistently clean and has everything needed for a basic hotel. There's no frills, restaurant or bar but the rooms have been upgraded. The beds and linens are comfortable and clean. There's plenty of outlets and USB connectors. Fridge/microwave in all rooms. The bathroom is a bit older but perfectly clean and spacious. It's always a comfort to know I'm booked at this hotel and I will get quality for a reasonable rate. The front desk staff are always welcoming and accommodating. The location is excellent; right off the highway and close to plenty of restaurants, stores and gas stations.
