Really impressed with the upgrades! Rooms look fresh with new flooring and equipment. Way better than my last stay. It’s clear that management has invested in improving the guest experience, and I definitely appreciated the effort. My stay felt more relaxing, and the updated room features made it much better than before. I’ll be happy to come back here again on my next trip.

We checked in very late at of driving in town for the IU/Ohio state game, and despite the hour, Joe at the front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were settled. He took the time to explain the WiFi codes and even showed us exactly how to adjust the heat in our rooms so we would be comfortable. When we came back down later realizing we didn’t have any ice, he immediately got some for us—top-notch service! The hotel itself looks fantastic after the remodel. You can really tell the difference with the brand new TVs and the beds were super comfortable. The room was spotless, with fresh towels and a noticeably freshly stocked cupboard. It’s rare to find such a nice facility paired with such genuinely helpful staff on the night shift

The staff was extremely friendly. There was another customer On the phone Speaking very vulgar and left me a little bit uncomfortable. The additional locks to the room did not work, but I placed a piece of furniture in front of the door and it was OK

“Excellent place for truck drivers. The hotel is safe, quiet, and very comfortable after a long day on the road. Parking is truck-friendly, which makes stopping here stress-free. The manager and staff are very friendly, respectful, and helpful, and they truly understand drivers’ needs. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, and security feels good. Highly recommended for truckers looking for comfort, safety, and a welcoming atmosphere.don’t forget the manager is from eastern Africa mother of Africa mother of all regea music

This is a budget hotel and with that I am rating it higher because for a budget hotel it was great. It is a not frills location but it does have some great perks. It is located by a fairly large selection of food and if what is at this location is not enough you can go up another exit and find a bunch more. The staff at check in was friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable with both a desk and a chair besides the two beds. Speaking of beds they were super comfortable. I like a slightly firm bed and that is exactly what they provided. The air worked great keeping the room cool, It has a large tv, fridge, microwave, and small one cup coffee pot. They also provide free wifi and it worked great and was fairly fast. Overall it was a quiet and comfortable stay.

It was clean but the layout was a bit odd. The shower and toilet are in a separate room but the sink and mirror are in the mini hall when you walk in the door and there was not a light. The only real negative would be how cold the hallways are kept.
