Got 2 rooms here via Hotwire. For the rate we paid, thought it was a decent deal. It has easy access to highways 41 and 64 and is a little less than an hour away from Holiday World, which is why we were visiting after spending the day at the park. Staff is very kind and personable. They seem to be in the process of updating/improving the property. It was nice to have a pool for the kids and free breakfast along with a room with microwave/refrigerator.
In retrospect, I would recommend requesting a room not on their 4th floor as it was a little toasty up there. The AC in the hallway apparently did not work and the ones in the rooms are turned off while empty. The rooms smelled of cigarettes a bit as well. We had to change one of our 2 rooms due to a faulty AC and the smell. I fear I didn't sleep terribly well due to the loudness of the AC in our room shutting on and off.
The lady working the breakfast area is kind and does offer to fetch what you wish. However, I recommend getting to the breakfast early as they ran out of sausage gravy midway through the morning. Not many tables available for eating either.
Kids enjoyed the swimming pool. It's not very large, but was more than enough for our family when we were there by ourselves. Did have to fetch our own towels as they were out in the morning. In spite of being a heated pool it seemed a little cool in temperature, but not bad. Would have liked a hot tub option, but can live without.
Overall, not a great place to stay, but acceptable with its amenities if you get a good rate.
