Great place to stay for events at the Ford Center! Pretty views of the river. We were in town for a concert and was able to walk back from Ford Center late at night. Straight shot down Walnut, didn’t feel unsafe. Room was very clean, beds were comfy. Nice bar right around the corner too, Industry Bar. Will definitely return here for other events in Evansville!

I was shocked by excessive deposit, charged to park at hotel and breakfast later than most so most of us kept missing out on it. I was told I could get a breakdown receipt at end of stay to reflect all charges since we only knew of $1258 on hotels.com but it came out to almost $1800 instead. I have only recieved $1258.10 receipt sent through hotels.com but no proof of deposits paid on rooms. Nobody was ever at front desk on check out to get one or our room key cards only a drop box to leave them. It's nice and clean but expensive for very little help or amenities.
