The room was wonderful. We hadn't ever stayed on the garden side before, and it is lovely. The only reason I didn't give you a 5-star rating was the breakfast. It used to be so nice and I was surprised that it didn't have anywhere near the same variety or quality of food. The staff was very friendly as usual. We'll stay here again but won't plan on breakfast here next time!

Clean room. During my first stay, the room was quite small, but on my second visit I received an upgrade to a larger one (paid extra). The breakfast was very basic — a simple cold spread with nothing cooked. Overall, considering the price and location, it was good value for money

We actually had a great experience at the Cascades Inn! We had never stayed here before & although it’s a more of a motel, it acted more like a 3-4 star hotel! Nicole at the front desk was extremely friendly over the phone prior to our stay & even better in person! Gavin at the Sleepers bar is an amazing mixologist & has a wonderful personality. Room was very clean ‘ the king size bed was comfortable! I will say that we would probably come back here and I would try to book Suite around back with the Cascades Park view. Uber comes to pick you up at the front door, and it’s so close to all activities at Indiana University literally 5 minutes away.

This is a central location when visiting family, this is our 3rd time staying here. The staff was very accommodating. Lots of activity in this area, especially if Indiana University has a game. Lots of dining options within a reasonable driving distance. Room was comfortable--some of the electrical outlets are not easily accessible--bring an extension cord. Definitely an older facility.
