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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

Clean and well maintained

When I pulled into the parking lot, I was prepared to be disappointed; this is an older-style hotel and the parking lot is overgrown. BUT, the staff member who checked me in was friendly and helpful. Everything inside was super clean and well maintained. Handicapped accessible room had parking in front of the room and a great bathroom. Very quiet area, well off the interstate. Would highly recommend.
