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.

It met our needs for a safe, clean, comfortable and affordable place to stay without a lot of extra amenities that we did not need.
There was no staff on sight. Just a sign with a phone number to call. Felt unsafe at night with no one on duty in case of an emergency.
There was an iron, but no ironing board. No microwave. Very inconvenient.

This is a bare bones motel. Clean enough, safe enough, but nothing fancy. A few restaurants in the area but most are in West Lafayette.
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
This is the same old hotel from 25yrs ago and they haven’t done anything to fix them up opened up the door to enter and bam the old stale smell hit u like a fist the only good thing I noticed was that the water was extremely hot if u wanted that
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.
This is a 1 star hotel at best. Still uses the old paper method for checking in. Very unorganized.

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.
Hotel was run down & janky as all get out. Light fixtures falling out of the ceiling, holes in the ceiling they just shoved towels in bed sheets were dirty.
