We had a late last minute check in and the manager greeted us warmly and gave us our key. The room was spotless and the heat worked very quickly. I would revisit if I was ever stuck late at night in whatever city that was again.
Property was conviently located from the interstate but was a decent distant from food and grocery. Its a quiet area but the property seemed run down. Room was nice size but parking wasnt the best. When contacting the property the person who answered the phone was ryde
Large room, clean, quiet.
The door is different to open. The lock needs some work.

Decent location.close to Purdue.not busy during bgr (Purdue orientation).
Manager needs to be in the office 24*7. Strange to have to call a number when I reached at 1.00pm
The rooms are a good size, beds were comfortable & bath was big. The mini fridge was very mini & it's sitting on the floor, fortunately my back wasn't acting up so I could bend down to use refrigerator. No amenities & ice machine wasn't working.

The guy at the desk was super friendly & helpful and the room was very clean. However there were sketchy people hanging around the property and I wasn’t liking the vibe. We checked in around noon and got the key, there was a weird guy eyeballing us in the lobby. We got there late after the football game and after looking around actually decided to turn the key in & make the drive home.
Not modernized at all. Toilet woudnt flush, no fresh towels. Inside door handle was coming off the door. Piece of tiles from the ceiling is missing or on a coffee table. The room carpet was clean. The bed was comfortable once you set the room temperature correctly. It was nice and quiet.
We went to attend a Purdue football game and all the hotels were far more expensive than they deserved to charge. Holiday Inns for $300? All to watch Purdue get creamed (as seems to be the going trend these days.)
This hotel was $159 with taxes and fees and I seriously felt as if we were checking into what once was a storage facility. Dumpy and on a normal day if I was forced to stay here I would run or pay no more than $75 per night (and that's being generous)
There are no safety latches on the door and while the interior was surprisingly clean (which was no indication from the NO-Tell- HOTEL vibes the exterior set off) I slept surprisingly well. The beds were double yet not altogether uncomfortable. I'd only choose to stay here if it was a last resort or knowing what I know now about it the rates were much less than what they were asking.
The room is in need of repairs and it took over 4 hrs to get the room warm. The places is in need of serious updating. The only way I'll stay there again is that's the only places I can get a room at.
Excellent value for money. It's an older building, but that's what makes it possible to keep the price down. Negative reviewers had unrealistic expectations.

Sink did not drain. Shower head did not provide nice spray pattern. Air conditioner did not keep room cool enough
