This is a small motel located near the tiny town of Leavenworth, IN off of I-64 (exit 92). I've…read moreused this place as an overnight stop for the past 10+ years while traveling out to Missouri to visit family. This used to be a Days Inn up until about 8 years ago when it became an independent motel. I always enjoy stopping here since it is conveniently located next to the interstate and there is a Pilot Travel Center across the road (along with a few dining options surrounding the motel). This might not be an good stop for families, but should fit the bill nicely for solo travelers. The building itself is very small and somewhat outdated with only about 40 rooms at most, but the current owners of the building have been working on making renovations. On my visit last summer, I was relieved to see that they finally removed the old and bulky TV cabinets (which looked like they were from the 1980's) and replaced them with small flat-screen TVs. The TV offerings are limited to mainly a few local channels from Louisville with a few others thrown it. But I seldom watch TV during my overnight stops except for news and weather so this was a non-issue for me. The rooms (at least the ones I've stayed in) have double beds, but at least they are comfortable and provide a good night's sleep. The rooms (along with the bathrooms) have always been very clean during the times I have been there. There is also free wi-fi which has always worked great for me. As for the dining options I mentioned...there is the Pilot across the road which is open 24 hours and has a Subway inside. Next to the Pilot is the Country Style Restaurant (which is only open 7am-9pm but has pretty decent food at a reasonable price). Also next to the motel is Big Dadd's Pub & Restaurant, which has typical pub food but also serves cold beer and liquor. The motel itself has a small restaurant downstairs, but on my last visit it was only open for limited hours and didn't offer breakfast. There is also an upstairs lounge which is also only open for limited hours. During my stays, I have always gotten a downstairs room facing westward toward the road. The downstairs rooms facing eastward open to a large parking area where truck drivers usually park their rigs for overnight stays. All of the downstairs rooms actually have doors that open to the outside, but the ones upstairs open to a hallway. This works out well since for me since I can park my car just outside my door and can also enjoy a nice view of the sunset. As for smoking, Indiana apparently has a law that prohibits smoking in motels as well as near their entrances. But Big Dadd's next door has an outdoor section where smoking is allowed. The older lady who runs the motel has always been very friendly with me during check-in and I have never had any issues with billing or odd charges showing up on my credit card statement. As I mentioned before, this place would most likely not be suitable for a family stay (you'd be better off 13 miles eastward in Corydon for that). But it would work great for single travelers who aren't expecting much. The rates might be somewhat high for a small place like this, but since the owners are trying to spruce this place up I think it's worth it. Plus it would be more cheaper than getting a hotel closer to Holiday World. In fact, those would be the closest hotels once you pass this exit if you are going westward. I hate to think that this place might not see a whole lot of business since people will most likely get off at this exit just to get gas or food. But I think Old Stone Lodge is a real "diamond in the rough" and I would recommend it for single people or couples who find themselves in the area and need a place to rest for the night. I plan to keep staying here as long as the place is open and wish the owner the best of luck with the ongoing renovations.

I believe that there is a scam running in this establishment. My husband and 2 employees stayed the…read moreevening there due to their being on a long distance job in Indiana. All 3 of which are non smokers. We noticed a $250.00 charge to our bank statement 5 days after their stay. When we questioned this matter, we were addressed by a very rude older woman who identified herself as "The Owner" to which this took some questioning and wouldn't give me her name until I explained the nature of my call and all of my information (that is fine but shady). Once I kindly explained that all 3 people were non smokers and that we generally stay at Best Western but due to time of day and vacancy were directed here; she proceeded to tell me that they were all 3 smoking in the rooms (again all non smokers) then when I told her that they were all 3 non smokers and this didn't add up, she changed it to there being tobacco spit on walls and curtains? They also don't chew and these are 3 grown men. She then answered that maybe they had people over (again ma'am we are there to provide a professional service we know nobody there other than our customer) the whole thing didn't stack up. Then I asked why she waited 5 days to charge our card? She hung up on me. If you know and have proof that this happened, why not stand by the original reason? Then I started investigating... turns out, this has happened to MANY of their customers. I called back leaving a vm that I do in fact plan on making a dispute as well as am prepared to send over to my attorney. It isn't the money, it is the principle. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT stay here. Find a Best Western. We love them and have rented rooms hundreds of times being on the road and have NEVER had this issue. Think about all of the people that just don't have time to mess with this! Or have been charged without their knowledge... I am sure that adds up! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

And it's safe to say that West Baden is now a family tradition. My parents spent a few days there to celebrate their anniversary, and then the kids all came to stay the last night, during Easter weekend. And we made the most of it. We started with bowling and pizza at the new Ballard's at the Atrium (see my review on that). My older niece then watched all the kids in one of the hotel rooms, while the adults got a drink in the expansive atrium and enjoyed looking up at the picturesque dome ceiling. The next morning, which was Easter, we found a quiet sitting area on our floor to have an Easter egg hunt with all the kids. These are memories we will cherish. We popped over to French Lick for brunch, though the Easter brunch set up in the atrium definitely looked delicious too. The staff is always excellent. We were able to call and get all of our rooms next to each other, which helped. Thanks for another fabulous mini-vacation, West Baden!

Just wish the services for caring for kids started at younger ages (maybe potty trained and older?) It will be years before my husband and I can stay at this hotel and have a true 'date day or night' and our kids are five and three. Honestly they'd get more money out of us if they offered babysitting for younger kiddos!! Food here is very standard and nothing to write home about. That applies to every restaurant off property we tried in the area. Activities we tried and enjoyed 1. Kids pony ride 2. Carriage ride. 3. Mommy and kiddo pedicure (expensive for what you get but also standard pricing for hotels). 4. The free!! Trolley train ride to the sister property. Activities are easy to book over the phone ahead of the stay and easy to do at the front desk or calling from your room. Very excited about the new bowling alley building they are almost finished with next to the hotel. The stables area is very picturesque with a large covered 'patio'. Patio seems too small a word. More like covered event space. Wedding perfect. Room was clean. Beds are not very comfortable. Killed my back and my husband's. We had a two bedroom suite which was the perfect size for the four of us. It had two balconies overlooking the atrium which I will never, ever book again. Too loud! All night long too loud! Even from the sixth floor, even with earplugs. Only exterior view next time for a stay. I would return next year for all of the holiday events. My kids loved this trip because of all the new experiences they had. Lots of things to do in the area that get you outdoors. Lovely part of Indiana in the Autumn (when we visited).

The downsides of noticed are that the sheets and beds, well comfortable pillow tops, seem to likely be synthetic and have me feeling confusingly, sweaty even with the air conditioner turned on, and the fitness room is long overdue for some very basic maintenance: the cable machine only has one side that works because the adjustment is broken on the other, and the weight bench adjustment knob has fallen off, keeping it flat and making a lot of exercise exercises not possible. Nonetheless, the pool is quite nice and large, and two treadmills, and elliptical, and a peloton spin bike are available.

Hotel The Hampton…read moreInn in Jasper has been around for a long time. It is a solid 3-star hotel within the Hilton family of hotels. The folks working here are exceptionally nice and helpful. The hotel overall is somewhat dated and is in need of a facelift. The room was the standard Hampton Inn room: bed / bath, TV and a refrigerator and a desk area to work at, if needed. Room was in good shape. Bed was comfy enough and the heat worked. Hot water took a little bit of time to get going and on the last day, the water suddenly lost pressure and dribbled out of the shower - thankfully I was just finished or I would have not been a happy camper. Bath sink was draining extremely slow so I mentioned it to the front desk and by the time I returned to the room that afternoon the problem was completely solved. Very good response on that. They have a free breakfast bar in the mornings and although it is nothing gourmet, it will get you up and going without adding to the cost of your trip. The front desk also have Grab-n-go breakfast bags in the event you are in a hurry to get to where you are going Overall a solid place to stay if in the area. Plenty of parking available.

French Lick Springs Hotel somehow manages to feel both grand and incredibly relaxing. Everywhere you turn there's another detail worth appreciating--from the breathtaking domed atrium and historic architecture to the beautifully maintained grounds that practically beg you to take a leisurely stroll. The wraparound porch quickly became one of our favorite places. We spent a ridiculous amount of time rocking in the chairs, enjoying the gorgeous weather and taking in the peaceful views. It felt like stepping back to a time when people weren't in such a hurry. One thing I didn't expect was how convenient it was to explore the area. The complimentary shuttle was fantastic. We rode over to the casino resort, spent hours walking the grounds and exploring the restaurants, and on the way back the driver even dropped a few guests off at CVS and simply told them to call when they were ready for pickup. It's little touches like that that make you feel genuinely taken care of. Our room service breakfast was another highlight. Everything arrived hot and beautifully presented, from the biscuits and gravy to the fresh fruit oatmeal and perfectly cooked breakfast. Starting the morning with breakfast by the window overlooking those incredible grounds was hard to beat. The hotel itself has so many little spaces to discover. We wandered through the historic bathhouse, found a billiards room tucked away, admired the architecture, and never once felt rushed to get back to our room. Every hallway seemed to tell another piece of the hotel's history. And yes... The robes absolutely deserve their own paragraph. They're still some of the most comfortable hotel robes I've ever worn, and I'm standing by my original statement--you won't want to take them off. French Lick is one of those rare places where the destination and the hotel are equally memorable. We left already talking about coming back during another season just to experience it all again. If you're debating whether this place is worth the trip... It absolutely is. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Rooms: 5/5 Grounds: 10/5

This Fairfield hotel in Jasper, Indiana is pleasant, pretty clean, and generally well maintained…read more The "king suite" room that I got was definitely smaller than what I would expect for something being marketed as a "suite", but include a mini fridge and microwave, which may have been what made the distinction, and what I was looking after anyway. It seems like it was updated within the last couple of years, with a nice, comfortable bed, and furnishings mostly in good condition. On my criticisms, I am *really* nitpicking here: The only downside, which I noted was mentioned in another review from a few months ago was that cleanliness could've been a tiny bit better. Nothing that gave me the "ick" but the shower definitely needed to have the caulking stripped out and replaced because there was some mildew under it, in spite of it appearing to have been cleaned pretty well otherwise with no water spots and everything wiped down aside from a few tiny spots in corners. The air conditioner was also a bit noisier than it should've been, with a slightly slow sink. To summarize: felt pretty darn, clean and well-maintained, but fell just short of being "five stars" at this price level. My room had a absolutely gorgeous view of the river, and the hotel itself is located within a few minutes of the town center, and a number of restaurants here and within 15 minutes at the next town over.
