Liked: Staff & service
This is a very cheap hotel, so I didn’t expect much. The room itself was actually nicer than I thought it would be—clean enough, comfy bed, mini fridge and microwave (bonus!). The rest of the hotel was…well, exactly what you’d expect at this price: a little run-down, a few things broken, and no breakfast despite the listing saying there was. Also, don’t count on cozy bedding—it’s basically two sheets, so bring your own blanket if you like being warm. The staff were very kind, though rarely at the desk. We only got one towel per person but could probably have asked for more. I didn’t see another guest my entire stay, which was a little eerie but also kind of peaceful. Being pet-friendly, it does have that “pet-friendly smell,” but not unbearable. Big perks: you can walk to McDonald’s, Casey’s, and Dollar Tree (all in the same parking lot), and it’s super close to the Cave State Park. Bottom line: if you want fancy, skip it. But if you’re a hiker who just wants a hot shower, a crash spot, and a cheap rate—you’ll be happy here. I’d definitely stay again when visiting the state park

Hotel was dirty, TV kept freezing and losing connection. AC did not work very good. Beds seemed okay and was comfortable enough. We didn't even shower there bc towels seemed kinda dingy. Staff did seem nice.

I’m not sure if it being remodeled now or recently was. There was a lot of trash near the 2nd floor entrance. The room had almost all of the bulbs out above the sink. The room also felt very humid. We tried tuning the air conditioning to a cooler temperature to get it out.

Common areas of hotel was hot. Check in was 3pm at 5pm had to check to see if room was clean. Blood stains on sheets, TV wasn’t working. Took them over hour to look at. Refrigerator/freezer was iced over, poor lighting in room. Door @ back of building was suppose to be secure, we returned at 11:15pm, door was still propped open.
