- DMDingo MingoOct 26, 20251.0This hotel was a extreme disappointment and is in dire need of renovation. Maybe demolition lol
- EPEmily ParmeleeOct 12, 20251.0Paid for my room days prior to our stay, then was charged again when checking in. When i went down to talk to them not even 10 minutes into checking in when i checked my banking account they charged me for my room again (which was over $300). The manager, Haley, told me she got it canceled and I would receive the funds back “when the audit clears” the next morning, when I woke up that following morning I checked and did not receive them back and went back down to talk with them about it - the gentleman I did talk to was very friendly and told me no one had voided the transaction so Haley lied about that and he voided my transaction. No free breakfast when it’s stated when we booked there was the breakfast with it. We will not return.
- YYYumiSep 27, 20255.0We want to thank Jeff for making all our efforts worth while. We stayed here the first time for IU orientation for our freshman. Jeff customer service is just exceptional. We are truly only staying here instead of the Hyatt because of him. Location is right by the football stadium and basketball gym. We love staying here it’s close and near everything. Also best place for breakfast is Lincoln square.
- JSJoshua Sweet (Sweetness)Sep 24, 20253.0Stayed here for two nights. Hotel staff was friendly and receptive. Easy to address. Hotel restaurant wasn't open at all outside to breakfast. But inconvenience was cancelled with eggs to order. Room had dirty carpets, small spots of mold on the shower curtain, both shower and sink faucets didn't work well. Sink leaked from the base and flooded the counter. A/C worked although was a little loud. I didn't mind it though. Bed was comfortable and clean.
