Pros: The hotel was close to a lot of things that Evansville has to offer. There are plenty of restaurants nearby.
The beds are really comfortable.
Cons: There were only two things that I can say negative about the property. First, you can tell the tub wasn't cleaned thoroughly. I had to rinse it out before using it.
There were hair and dirt on the bottom of it. The other negative was that the fitness center was under restoration.

Cons: The owner tried to tell us booking.com canceled our rooms and then tried to tell us it would cost $143 a night instead of $79. Showed our confirmation # and it was honored but wonder about integrity.

Pros: Friendly staff, clean room, it was located right across from the mall, down the street from the IMAX, and with lots of restaurants around. The breakfast was exceptional and started around 6 in the morning running till 9:30.
Cons: The only downside was the mattress creaked, the hotel has no indoor pool which you can tell from the amenities online, and our neighbors were noisy leaving their doors open and running back and forth across the hall to each other's room all night.

Pros: For the price, was expecting it to be run down. Furniture appeared to be relatively new and overall good first impressions.
Cons: Bathroom wasn't very clean- likely wiped down but shower had remnants from previous guests. Bed and pillows were not all that comfortable- not in awful shape, but I ended up tossing and turning most of the night. Perhaps part of the issue was the person snoring in the room next to mine.

Pros: We have stayed at this hotel before and find that it is just as comfortable as previous visits. This is the first time we were able to swim in the outdoor pool and that was a real treat. Not at all crowded after dark.
Cons: I missed having protein for breakfast. There were no eggs, no yogurt, no meat; only high carb count foods. My husband complained that the bed was too hard, but I preferred it to the one we sleep on at home.

Pros: I booked my stay through booking.com and had my confirmation for 3 rooms. I checked in for all 3 rooms and we paid for our rooms. However we went out for dinner and when I tried to use my key It had been deactivated. Went to the front desk and was told sometime keys and other items could cause deactivation.
Around 10:30 or 11:00 pm I received a call from the night auditor telling me I only had 2 rooms reserved and the property was overbooked and they needed the extra room I had. I had to go down and show my booking confirmation for the 3 rooms I had booked. In the end I was able to stay...a little perturbed
Cons: Being made to prove I had a booking confirmation for 3 rooms

Pros: The breakfast was scrumptious. They had two hot waffle makers with sugar free or other syrup. Even had blueberries without the seeds to put on your waffle. Also good bagels with sour cream, different cereals, milk and juice, gravy and biscuits and it began after 4 and went to 9 for the convenience of different guests.
Cons: I stayed from Monday till Friday and found one dead roach and one live black bug. It rained like crazy some days. Very convenient for me to take my great grand daughter to a camp class from Monday through Friday. Desk and maids were ready to help at anytime. Very friendly also.

Pros: The room was clean
Cons: We were taking a afternoon nap with our do not disturb sign on our door. The cable people that were there installing new boxes, beat on our door until we answered it. They demanded that we allow them to come in, we asked if they could come back later. They informored us it had to be done that moment we felt we should have been informed at check in that this was the case. The clerk at check in was complaining she was over worked, and she took many smoke breaks making guest wait.
