You'll want to have your camera close at hand when you visit this protected natural landscape. It draws many tourists who come to Central Indiana. Also deserving of a few photos is Lake Waveland. Not far from Shades State Park, it's another of this area's big drawcards.

8.4/10 Very Good! (383 reviews)
Staff was welcoming. Continental breakfast was above average. We stayed in a 2bdr/2ba suite and just had a couple of minor annoyances with the room. The shower head was seemingly broken and there was cardboard folded and wedged in so that it would stay on the rod. If you touched it at all, it'd just fall off. The sink sprayer also did not stay up at the base of the faucet - it just dangled there in the sink. It made it a slight pain to do dishes. Neither problem was the end of the world, but attention to detail and the little things can be impacted.
Upon checking in (stayed Wed-Mon), we had asked for room cleanings (towels, bedding, and trash) for Friday and Sunday. They only did that Friday. We had to call the front desk for towels ourselves after getting back to the room from a full day of being in 100 degree weather and sweating to find we had no clean laundry.
Again, not the end of the world but it caused disappointment after having a much better experience there the year prior.

I liked everything except that the air conditioner in the hotel hallway was too cold

The rooms were extremely clean, staff was very informative and helpful, the breakfast was great and was the deal breaker along with the hygiene of this place. This place is a 10/10
