We appreciated the convenience to holiday world after a long day but the pool area was not in very good shape and breakfast had minimal offerings. We would likely drive the few more miles to a more modern hotel next time.

Nice convenient spot. Hot water could be better and ac unit worked and was fine but would kick on and off before room reached desired temperature. Love the lobby decorations and indoor pool plus hot tub. Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean. I’ll stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room advertised fridge, did not have it. Put on second floor with no elevator. Room was very small, dark and dirty. Power outlets on clock next to the bed did not work so charging devices were difficult.. Staff seemed ambivalent to any of our concerns Pricing for what you received was way over what it should have been.

This was such a great place to stay! It was clean, a short drive to Holiday World, and was exactly what we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the indoor pool and the breakfast was delicious. The vending machines being right by our room was a major plus! We will definitely plan to stay here again the next time we are in the area.
