We have booked here for two nights. We chose this hotel for…read moretwo reasons. First, location. It's close to a family gathering during our stay so we chose this for logistics. Second, family has stayed here before and gave the hotel raving reviews. I'm not sure why. Generally the family that gave this hotel raving reviews has a certain level of standards which I would assume would have meant more than our experience. The first room we were given was infested with flies. We killed 10 within minutes and after that 6 more just showed up immediately. So we went down and asked for another room. We were given one with a jacuzzi. No, we have no plans on haul v that and there are several reasons why. The first and second rooms are clean. But, it's clear the hotel is in a serious need of updating and refreshing. Now, I understand a few things about this location. First, it's a small town and what I assume to be a privately ran hotel. On our first night there was maybe 10 people here in a hotel that probably has 100 rooms? So my point here is income probably does not generate the funds necessary to save for dramatic improvements of any scale or variety. Being in a small town there is literally only a few options to stay unless you drive to a bigger city like Richmond closer to an interstate, etc. doing a google search I found three choices in town and this appeared to be the best. Rooms are not that awesome. First room had the aforementioned fly infestation, toilet seat was well used and worn down to what appeared to be black wood underneath. (I hope) Second and first room both had outdated and well worn and in some places town carpet. Rubber molding around the walls near floors were torn away in spots and drywall plaster was cracked or busted in spots in and around corners in bath and other places. Parking lot is dimly lit unless you park right by the building where huge wall lamps give a 1970's incandescent yellow hue of light that somehow bounces off the building good enough to illuminate the front of your car. There are light posts that are from what I can tell the size of a battery powered throw away infomercial lantern. In fact. They are positioned about 30 feet from each other on the exterior of the lot and are most certainly solar powered as they were casting no light at 6 am on anything at all. So, if lot safety is a concern of yours and what I have said already is not enough to turn you off then book away. I believe the rate per night was around $140 and that might have been with taxes and fees.. again. If you are one of three hotels in town you get the luxury of slapping a charge on a rate and seeing if anyone bites. They offer continental breakfast. But, in looking at the quality of the offerings you might be wise to choose coffee or a preserved yogurt cup. I was even skeptical of the coffee as the coffee urns on the bun coffee maker looked like the last time they seen soap and water was before dish washers were invented. I'd skip the pastries and dried cereal which looked stale.. I'd even skip the waffle maker and aerosol can of butter and syrup mix as well. Maybe go try and find the McDonald's or a Cracker Barrel even farther away.. Finally, for the smokers or the smoke smoker haters that are reading this post. This hotel most certainly used to be a smoking hotel. How the peeled off signs on the entry doors and on occasional rooms that have not yet been peeled off state its non smoking. But, as my wife has recently stopped smoking and is keen to smells that never bothered her before.. she can still smell the lingering odors in the room which shout out it has seen decades of cigarette smoke. Just bring some Febreeze and that should tame it down. First nights rest? Well, the rooms are quiet overall, I could not hear talking or television noises from guests next to us. I did hear what sounded like a t-Rex walking around in the room uostairs this morning. I assume hunting for prey for breakfast. Bed slept ok for one that has clearly seen a few decades of use. Sheets are alright. But, clearly are the low end. Comforter is well used and low end. But, it appears all was clean. However I elected not to freak myself out and dig deep on this one for usual things that would creep someone out. I should point out that front desk clerk at check in was nice. We booked through a third party website and she had trouble matching up our credit card with reservation. She was a new clerk though. We did not get the usual questions like make and model and plate number and that kind of thing. But, we did not get any arguments as to switching rooms when we brought up the fly infestation either. Almost like they knew.. But, now that you read this you can make your own choice. It certainly may will give us cause to ask family.. Why did you think it was so nice? Maybe it was at a point in the past. But, now it's just "ok" IMO.

A/C was working great, turned it on then went for supper, gone less than an hour and it was cool enough in room we had to turn the temp up. Had a good night sleep and was able to enjoy the continental breakfast. Seems like about a dozen cars there but it was a weeknight. I would recommend staying there because it is better than driving 30 minutes to a corporate hotel that will charge more. They have improved a lot considering the area has had some layoffs and cutbacks.

The staff is friendly. Housekeeping even wrote us a kind little note left in the room that said "enjoy your stay" with a smiley face. You get a physical key (can ask for 2 per room). Doors lock on their own. Two stories. For the standard room with two beds, the sheets were soft and pillows were super cushy. Plenty of blankets to stay warm. There's a TV with cable and free wifi, although it might take a few tries to connect. There was a mini fridge and microwave in one of our rooms, but the other room was missing a microwave. One of the rooms has a ceiling leak, which is our only real concern. No carbon monoxide detectors in rooms, if you're concerned about that. Some hand soap and another kind of liquid soap is provided with a few towels. The towels are your standard white hotel towel that are super thin and get damp quickly - if they ever upgrade I'd consider getting thicker towels!! The shower/bath tub is pretty big and you can adjust the water pressure between darts of water and a slow drip, and the water temp is good. The room is pretty cold but you can adjust it - bring layers!! They have vending machines and ice. Coffee is provided in the lobby but they no longer have free breakfast due to COVID - not sure when that'll come back if ever. Wal-Mart is conveniently right across the street for all your other needs. Overall enjoyed my stay!

First off, if you're expecting anything close to a traditional event center or motel/hotel…read moreexperience you're probably going to be disappointed. This is in Metamora. Have you been to Metamora? This practically IS Metamora. It's funky, comfortable, casual, low with amenities, and high with hospitality. It's not for everyone. Heck, it's probably not for most. But, for those who click with it this is an awesome way to experience rural Indiana. Catrina, or "Cat," is the owner. She's practically the definition of good people. She's a great host, though be aware she does not live on-site. She's here during events, of course, and she'll host you in. You'll get her homemade breakfast in the morning (included with stays, though not menu-based - she makes a meal). However, once she's gone you may very well be alone here. If that freaks you out, well, be aware. Depending on what's going on, The Cat & The Fiddle can be a B&B, a gift shop, an eatery, or an all-out event center. It's not a huge place, though you're always a bit surprised with the crowd that gathers for music. It holds more than you'd expect, though it's fair to say they're packed in. The rooms are basic. They are comfortable but no frills. I kind of assume there's a phone here, though I've never seen one. They've historically not had wifi, though I do know Metamora just got a major wifi upgrade so that may have changed depending upon your network. In terms of accessibility, all of Metamora is pretty hit-and-miss. This is a historic river town with nearly all the buildings being historic. You can probably get into the event center itself, though staying (with most if not all rooms upstairs) would be a no go. I'm a wheelchair user and I've definitely been into the downstairs area, though it definitely involves some maneuvering. This really is closer to a retreat or a casual B&B than anything. The music typically leans toward folk/Americana or "old timey." Occasionally, you may see a small comedy show come through. There are definitely not events every weekend, so if you're thinking of coming here and/or thinking of staying here you definitely want to contact prior to the trip. Do NOT assume a room will be available. Be aware, as one reviewer noted, that Metamora is a very small town with only 207 residents. After around 6pm or so, the town pretty much shuts down unless there's a concert, special weekend, or other event. There's the nearby Whitewater trail and historic site, but those skittish about being alone in the country should take note (that said, it's a VERY small town and there are actually other residents). You are pretty close to Brookville here, as well. While accessibility is a concern (thus, I would never stay here), this is a beautiful little place run by Cat, a lifelong Metamora resident who brings hospitality to life.

The Cat and & the Fiddle is a amazing Place! Catrina the owner is absolutely delightful! My husband…read more& I went there the first time 5 years ago where he proposed to me and Catrina was involved with the whole proposal, she helped my husband with all the planning and we had just met her, she was if we knew her all our lives. Five years later we are still going and staying with her. We absolutely can not wait each year to go stay at the cozy, adorable inviting inn where she treats you like family and each morning prepares a delicious homecook breakfast! I truly get to relax and rejuvenate the entire weekend! Catrina's spirit and personality just makes you feel loved and uplifting! If you are looking for a truly unique and inviting hidden gem then I highly recommend you book a weekend at the cat and the fiddle and you'll be booking again and again I promise!

This location was just off a major interstate, which made my six state roadtrip even easier. The staff were all very accommodating and the hot breakfast plentiful.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I didn't get to try the breakfast bar as I was in a rush to get on the road both times, but it looked and smelled amazing. The coffee in the lobby was delicious though. Of all the hotels I stayed at during this trip, this one was my favorite. I think going forward, I'm strictly a Holiday Inn Express guy from now on. I really only had two minor complaints: The first time through the fitted sheet had a small stain on it that I didn't care for and caused me to sleep on top of the top sheet, and there's only one luggage cart in the whole hotel which can make getting in or out during the busy hours a bit difficult. Other than that, my stay was amazing.
