“Clean, quiet location for typical HIE”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

We stayed two nights at this location as part of a Holiday World vacation. It is a bit of a drive from Santa Claus, but it's a beautiful, easy drive and worth the extra 20 minutes or so.

Pros:
Far enough off main road that no street noise bothered us at night.
Clean, comfortable rooms
Courteous staff--one maintenance man was especially helpful when I asked about local parks.

Cons:
Parking fills up quickly.
Breakfast gets crowded and they run out of tables.
First thing that welcomes you on to property is a trash dumpster.
Front doors are not automatic--makes it hard when you are trying to maneuver a trolley full of luggage.
No vent in bathroom, so it fogged up quickly and stayed that way.

“Great stay- convenient to Holiday World”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed here Memorial Day weekend for the first time. We were visiting Holiday World and could not get a reservation with the hotel we usually stay in. We were very pleasantly surprised by this property and how clean and comfortable it was. The staff was very friendly and the kids loved the indoor pool. We will definitely stay again when we visit Holiday World!

“Save our trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2010

We drove from Fort Wayne to Tell City and had a reservation at another hotel. When we got there the hotel did not have our reservation. We drove to Holiday Inn, which was full. They were nice enough to telephone a competitor hotel, who had 2 rooms. Holiday Inn asked them to hold the rooms for us and we got the last 2 rooms available in Tell City. Thanks for the excellent customer service.

“Close to Holiday World”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2010

Stayed at HIE Tell City last weekend before a trip to Holiday World. Hotel was clean and well maintained. As other posters have mentioned the breakfash does get cleaned out. Have to say I saw a lot of people taking plates and items back to their rooms to put in coolers. Overall very enjoyable stay and good nights rest. Would stay again. Just not go to Holiday World on a weekend. Rooms were clean and fresh. Front desk was courteous.

“Worth the drive... to a better hotel.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2010

Hotel doesn't follow franchise guidelines, so don't expect a decent hot breakfast, or last minute Priority Club reservations. I've stayed here several times due to hotel location, and have painfully learned my lesson to not come back. Most rooms stink of mildew, very strongly. Breakfast items are not prepared until everything already out is gone, making everyone wait. Also, don't plan on eating here if you want an early start either, posted start is 6am, but they start setting up around 7:15. Management refuses to return calls. "New" mattresses left me with a sore back.
