Really liked our room itself a lot. Didn't like the fact that the key cards for ours and many other rooms didn't work at all. The manager had to open our door with his master every time we returned to the room.

Our hotel was clean and staff helpful but out door wouldn’t lock. You can lock it when you are inside but if you left to go anywhere the door was accessible without key card opened right up. They were sold out so we stayed for the night but would be helpful for longer stays

Dirty, everything was in poor condition, and the lock on the door to the adjoining room didn't work. I was too tired to mess with switching rooms so I moved furniture in front of it and went to bed. Terrible hotel.

Dead bug in bed. 2 dead centipedes on bathroom floor-which also looked dirty. Weird smell even though non smoking room. Key card was not actually needed as the door just opened with handle turn. Stated free breakfast but none. Very expensive for what you get. Quite disappointing.

I booked my hotel on Hotels.com and when I went to go check in and show the clerk I had already paid. He told me he still had to take my card for his paper records. He wrote down my information. I now have a charge from Hotels.com and from Indy Speedway Inn that is currently pending. I am going to need to figure out how to dispute this charge if both of these go through.

This is a property that obvious caters to a certain clientele. The broken fake finger nail on the floor is a good clue. Also came back to find our door unlocked and open. The other room next to us experienced the same thing.

Speedway Inn. Call to reserve.
The motel was clean and decently sized, but I got charged $20 extra for having my 9 and 4 year old kids stay, despite putting them in while searching for a room. The rooms at the Indy Speedway lnn are $120 a night, but since I used Hotels.com, I ended up paying $177 which was a "deal" with dozens of extra fees added, plus that extra $20. I didn't know Ticketmaster rented motel rooms. The Indy Speedway Inn wasn't bad at all, but Hotels.com ripped me off and I will not be using it again in the future.

Stay far, far away from this nightmare.
This dump should have been condemned and torn down 30 years ago. I have no words to describe the smell in the room. I ran a travelling construction crew in the 80s and 90s and THOUGHT that I had endured the worst motels. WRONG! Could not stand up in the room with the toilet and shower due to an elevated floor because they were too lazy to repair the plumbing correctly. Sheds and old travel trailers took up parking on the rear. Dogs on chains guarded the office door. Check in was a nightmare because the guy they had there was right out of Mad Max and was difficult to deal with. Two persons in the room (as reserved) but he refused to give us a second access card. Paid a premium price (due to the FCP National Championship Game that weekend) but this place is not worth $25 a night.

They Scammed Me
After reading several reviews of this hotel stating that they had bed bugs, I contacted them and tried to cancel my reservation. They refused to give me a refund, so I lost a couple hundred bucks and ended up staying in another hotel. Don't book here unless you love bed bugs.

You get what you pay for. You also get casual racial slurs dropped by staff during check in when they try to dispense advice about where not to go nearby.

Cost more than Hotels.com tells you!
Manager charged me an extra $80 upon checking in because “I paid hotels.com…not them” cigarette smoke smell and ashes all over the room. Hand towels were wet…and not from being washed. Bathroom was disgusting and had a nice “notch” cut out of the door so it could be closed. Absolutely unhappy after being forced to pay and extra $80 and not “go somewhere else and pay $400 for a room” as the manager told me. He was not a nice guy at all…and his barking dogs outside didn’t seem to bother him either.

Ok, but could be a lot better
Room was comfortable, but cleanliness was a bit of an issue. The in room coffee maker had mold growing in it, and when I mentioned it to the manager at checkout he basically advised I should have just cleaned it myself. Also a little weird is that there are warning signs about loose police k9s all over the place. Just a little disconcerting. Check-in took longer than I’d normally expect, but there was only one person working the counter on an Indy racy weekend, so I guess it wasn’t too bad.

Where's the Pool
Booked on line. Didn't have record of it at motel. Used a handwritten form and tried to run my card a second time. Charged additional $20.00 for Kids (One of which was 8). Listed that hotel has pool on hotel.com. There is no pool. This was the main reason for choosing the hotel. My daughter is 8 and has to hang out when we travel for baseball tournaments for older sibling. Pool is a must for her. Was told by the manager that there was a pool around behind some trees. The pool was the neighboring hotels pool. Smell in the lobby was awful. Horrible experience even without the heatwave that weekend.

Tub was full of someone elses hair (SUPER obvious because there was TONS of it.) Bird nest above light at our door= under constant attack from mommy bird. Ate a late dinner, came back to the room and uncovered the bed to find a crap load of pubic hair/ hair/ stains all over sheets BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER CHANGED. Confronted the owner about housekeeping being poor, and he just kept saying " I know, I know" and closed the door on me!!!!! While packing our crap up at 11:30 p.m. to start our frickin 5 hour trip back home, we also got to witness 2 drug deals right in the parking lot!!!!!!! MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT SOME CRACK TOO TO KEEP ME UP ALL THE WAY HOME!!!! I am demanding a full refund. I am contacting the Better Business Bureau, as well as the Indiana Health Department. TOTAL BS!

"Johnny B" (mgr) seems to be a one-man show, running a skeleton crew. Room was OK, nothing to write home about. WiFi is unsecured, so be careful. Cable TV had pretty good channel selection.
