Room was filthy, toilet obviously not cleaned from last occupancy. Large hole in walls, T-stat cover and towel rack missing, nasty smell in room and adjacent hallway. 4 of 6 light bulbs above vanity burned out, moldy grout joints and shower curtain in hallway, loose change and a dirty sock under side chair from previous occupancy. The continental breakfast was dismal at best, toaster and kitchen were filthy. It was so bad we left a day early and ate the cost of a new hotel room. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother staying here.

I wasn't expecting a 5 star Hotel. For the price i paid per night. The only thing that seemed clean was the bedding and towels. The room had stuff running down the walls. There was trash left on the floors. Housekeeping was only there 1 day out of the 5 we were there. The man at the front desk was nice. He made the eggs each day for breakfast. There was only scrambled eggs, sausage links, and cereal for breakfast. That was fine. The whole building was dirty. Just trashy looking. There was no lock on back door, There were also some people who would stand or sit by the door and smoke. Not just cigarettes. They would sit and discuss their drugs of choice during breakfast or outside the door. Our rooms lock didn't work. We had to use our metal bar as a lock. Just didn't feel safe. Our room was quiet. We had to open the window because the ac unit didn't work well and when it did it was stinky. The filters were plugged with dirt.

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.
