We wanted to get past Indianapolis on our way back east and just needed a decent play to stay overnight. Everything was fine here and up to standards: nice staff, good breakfast, clean room, comfortable bed. We'd stay here again.

These types of properties are becoming more owned by India Nationals. Nothing against these folks, but properties are being ran down. This one did not have any working entrance doors that took the room key. You could exit, but had to enter through the main lobby. Rooms are old and in fact the owners I believe are living in one room, b/c there is one ground floor room that has a blanket as the window curtain. The other guy I was traveling with did not have a curtain in his room at all.

Getting worried that HI Express is letting hotels such as this go into the ground. I will not stay there again and suggest you do not either........

I had issues with the Ramada and moved to the Holiday inn Express. The entire atmosphere was much better at this hotel: the lobby was clean, the room was clean and did not smell bad, the room was quiet and the breakfast area was clean and organized. I recommend this HIExpress when staying in Shelbyville.

...Surprised that the Holiday Inn allows the name to be placed on this hotel!
I expect the next time I drive by to see someone else is the owner/manager.
I could go into all the issues but will not. It is not up to Holiday Inn standards. It is worn out.
If you are there for a night, okay, but keep your expectations low.
The staff tries hard but are running against the wind.
