Top Shades State Park Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Crawfordsville

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was closed"

Wild Ivy Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful. The house was very clean, and very nice. Large bedrooms and plenty of space for our large group. We had many people from different states to celebrate with us for my sons graduation. The kitchen had everything, and check out was simple. The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Excellent"

Charming historic home centrally located in Crawfordsville, near Wabash

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this farm house! It was super tidy, easy to find and beautiful all around. We enjoyed the property as well- a total birding adventure! Never missed a sunset on the porch and from the kitchen. Close enough to Purdue University for our graduation stay, but far enough away from the bustle. Charming town!"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Crawfordsville by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall the stay was good. The staff at the hotel were very kind, but several issues made the stay concerning. The elevator made a loud, unsettling noise every time the doors opened and closed, which did not feel safe. At check‑in, I informed the staff that although my reservation was for four people, only three would be staying, and that my son would be arriving later. I asked whether he should pick up the key or come straight up. Instead of answering the question, the staff repeatedly reassured me that having more than four people visit the hotel was fine due to graduation week, which was not what I was asking. It felt as though they were not listening. I also called the hotel the day before to confirm the reservation, since I never received any notification. The phone line was busy most of the day. On the day of arrival, I tried calling several times to let the hotel know we would be checking in late, and again the phone was busy almost the entire day. Breakfast was another disappointment. The muffins and biscuits were raw inside, and the eggs and sausage were only lukewarm, cold by the time I sat down to eat. But the selection of food was good."

Motel 6 Crawfordsville, IN

2/10 Terrible

"We absolutely loved having brown stains on our ceiling, mattresses and sheets. The toilet didn’t flush properly, had to beg for towels and toilet paper. Sheets didn’t fit the bed and we had to constantly pull them back on. Beds way too small. Room wasn’t cleaned during our stay. It was a dismal experience."
