Loved the authentic decor and feel. The restaurant was excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Friendly, helpful staff and adequate accommodations in an excellent location
Pros:

It was easy to walk out into the downtown area, and you had parking, which was a big plus. The people on staff in the hotel and restaurant were very nice, and helpful.

Cons:

The room was dated and not super comfortable, although the beds were fine. There was no common area outside the room to read or relax, and since the chairs in the room weren't comfortable, I couldn't find a place to do that. The food in the restaurant was good, but expensive.

Great staff, super clean facility, excellent location.
Pros:

Location was great. Staff was excellent.

Cons:

In room television could be much better. It’s a small town in southern Indiana. After 7 PM television is about the only choice.

Not worth the price
Cons:

They didn't have a coffee pot or mini-fridge in the room. The free coffee down in the small entrance lobby did not taste good at all.
