A pleasant stay, second year in a row
We stayed here for the second year in a row as part of a Brickyard 400 weekend. This is a good hotel for the price. The rooms have the bed/TV area separated from the bathroom/kitchenette area by wall which makes it nice to be able to store your luggage/cooler/other stuff there and not be falling over it in the bed area. The bathroom is small, only large enough for one person at a time. We also had an issue where the AC unit must have been leaking. After day 3 the carpet was pretty wet around the AC unit. Breakfast was typical for hotel breakfasts, but the cool pancake machine was broken. The person who works breakfast – I think her name was Teresa – made little to-go goodie bags for our kids with an apple, banana, a cinnamon roll and a Ziploc of fruit loops. This was the first year we used the pool, but only for a short time because we got back late and they closed the pool promptly at 10pm (a little early if you ask me). The pool is showing its age and was a little cold, but was functional enough for the kids. We’ll be back -- we attend the Brickyard 400 every year and I’ll be making our reservations at the H.I. Express for next year within the next month or so.
