Parking right outside your room is the one good thing. It's quiet, but this is a very low-end motel, and I wouldn't bring kids here. The rooms are old and dirty, with an odd smell, cobwebs, bathroom mold, filthy carpet, and dirt rings in the tub. They don't vacuum behind furniture or under the bed. I found a used condom wrapper, and a strip on the toilet said it was clean and sanitized even though urine was visible. There's no shower liner, so I washed up in the sink as best I could. The dresser wasn't clean, and there isn't a closet. They don't seem to remove and wash the sheets, blankets, or comforters. I found hair and blood stains on the bedding, which also had cigarette holes. The mirrors, furniture, and headboard weren't dusted. The curtains smelled of cigarettes, like they hadn't been taken down to clean. Free morning coffee is available until 10:30 AM, but the pot was dirty, with a brown stain where the coffee comes out. The motel has a pool to the left as you drive in, behind a white fence, but I wouldn't trust it. The fabric chairs are visibly filthy, so double up a towel if you have to sit in one. Bring smoke odor spray and disinfectant spray or wipes. People seem to live here, and guests come for one-night stands, drugs, and alcohol. Even front desk staff hang out drinking and smoking with guests.

Everything's nearby, with the mall across the street and Walmart down the road. I've been coming here for a few years when I visit Indiana. It's a nice little hidden motel, the price is reasonable, and I have no complaints. Good vibes.
10/10
Not sure why the reviews are so low! The rooms are big and clean, there are no bugs, and it's way cheaper than where we were before. I like having real lights instead of just lamps, and the staff were amazing and polite. It's a peaceful community, and there's actual cable. There is a cigarette smell, but what can you do about it, especially now that smoking is prohibited? We're staying all week, thanks guys!

The room looked nothing like the pictures, and I was scared we'd get bed bugs while sleeping there. There were burn holes in the sheets and comforters, and the bathtub was so gross I didn't shower. The vanity looked like painted boards put together. By the bed I found a soda or beer tab and a bobby pin, so I'm not sure the floor had even been vacuumed. The towels and washcloths were heavily used too.
2/10
Everything was awful, especially the service. I got a mean attitude from a rude employee, and the rooms were terrible. There's no breakfast and no pool. I wouldn't recommend this place even if you need somewhere to stay. I'd sleep on the road instead. I learned my lesson and did that. The rooms are worse than the road.
