The room was clean and nice, the staff was very nice. The king bed that we slept on was by far the worst thing we have ever experienced!! My wife and myself are "edge of the bed" sleepers but continually woke up in the middle as the bed was worn out! I have a bad back and have dealt with it for for 20 years+ but my wife's back has never had issues! She has been to the chiropractor twice this week to elevate her pain! We will definitely look for other arrangements in the future! Howe Indiana is about 10 miles away !
