It met our needs for a safe, clean, comfortable and affordable place to stay without a lot of extra amenities that we did not need.

This is a bare bones motel. Clean enough, safe enough, but nothing fancy. A few restaurants in the area but most are in West Lafayette.

Very poor. For the $130 a night I was charged this “hotel” had nothing to justify the price. It was clean and the front desk clerk was friendly.

Decent location.close to Purdue.not busy during bgr (Purdue orientation).
Manager needs to be in the office 24*7. Strange to have to call a number when I reached at 1.00pm

The rooms are a good size, beds were comfortable & bath was big. The mini fridge was very mini & it's sitting on the floor, fortunately my back wasn't acting up so I could bend down to use refrigerator. No amenities & ice machine wasn't working.

Large room, clean, quiet.
The door is different to open. The lock needs some work.

Room not clean, make sure you keep your belongings with you as they can assign your room to someone else without being noticed.

We went to attend a Purdue football game and all the hotels were far more expensive than they deserved to charge. Holiday Inns for $300? All to watch Purdue get creamed (as seems to be the going trend these days.)
This hotel was $159 with taxes and fees and I seriously felt as if we were checking into what once was a storage facility. Dumpy and on a normal day if I was forced to stay here I would run or pay no more than $75 per night (and that's being generous)
There are no safety latches on the door and while the interior was surprisingly clean (which was no indication from the NO-Tell- HOTEL vibes the exterior set off) I slept surprisingly well. The beds were double yet not altogether uncomfortable. I'd only choose to stay here if it was a last resort or knowing what I know now about it the rates were much less than what they were asking.

"Economy" is an understatement. There was no shampoo, kleenex, chair, fridge, or security lock. At least there was a bed.

This is a 1 star hotel at best. Still uses the old paper method for checking in. Very unorganized.

The guy at the desk was super friendly & helpful and the room was very clean. However there were sketchy people hanging around the property and I wasn’t liking the vibe. We checked in around noon and got the key, there was a weird guy eyeballing us in the lobby. We got there late after the football game and after looking around actually decided to turn the key in & make the drive home.
