Great location near campus. The hotel is just older and could use a rehab. But the price was great!

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and quiet area. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Nice, newly renovated bathroom. Great downtown area with fun shops and lots of food choices.
Jackie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel offered good value for money. Some areas such as stair carpets are a little worse for wear and the breakfast could be improved but it was certainly worth the money
Robert Lloyd, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Beds were hard
Joel, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The carpet was stained. There were cob webs in the corners. The shower curtain was yellowing. The hvac unit was moldy. The window did not lock. The blankets were scratchy. The sheets were dirty. The front desk attendant was gone. My neighbors were loud. There was vape smoke wafting out into the hallway. The breakfast was gross.

1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean but extremely frugal amenities

The bed was comfortable. The mattress was clean, but the box spring cover looked old and soiled. The blanket was old and worn. The pillows not the greatest. The coffee maker was placed high up in a closet and there was no coffee or cups. There was just one chair in the room. No paper or pen. No phone. Only one half-dollar size soap. One tiny tube of shampoo. Only one roll of toilet paper—no backup roll. One washcloth. Breakfast was cereal or a few pieces of pastry. The hotel had sufficient parking. It appeared to be owned or operated by people from India.

It is a convenient location for sports.
Craig, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I waited in the lobby for an hour to check in. When I finally got checked in, she refused to give me a receipt, told me to get one from Expedia. There was no elevator, I had to carry all my bags up two flight of stairs. The property was old and rundown.

Floyd, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was very clean, nice, and close to where I needed to be in Vermillion.
Dennis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Currently being renovated but they were careful to give only rooms far enough from the work that we didn’t hear any of it. Staff was so nice. Would stay again.
Catherine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Filthy and the bed sheets were gross. Water stained ceilings and the bathroom smells sewage gas. The rooms were dark with poor lighting and dark. Too tired and it was last minute booking with no refund.
