I think the statement "Nice for some, not good enough for others," applies to this property. Unfortunately I fall in the "not good enough" category. I will try to write this review as honest as possible and you can make your choice.

The thing is this is an OLDER building with semi-remodeled rooms, in downtown Evansville, IN. We were staying here because of a reunion, they were also hosting a conference for a major car/truck manufacture.

We stayed 3 nights. Check-in was friendly & efficient. Lobby was clean. We even had to change rooms because we needed one closer to elevator to suit our needs. Bell-hop Lucy was nice. Parking is free in parking garage across street, with a catwalk connecting to 2nd floor of lobby and no elevator down to lobby (becareful if you have a lot of luggage).

Room nicely decorated, and clean. Mattresses were very OLD and NOT comfortable. Beware very few TV channels offered,(NO............ CNN, FOXnews, ESPN,weather channels) only 24 channels.

Bathroom was small, but clean. I found the shower very hard to adjust the water with OLD fixtures.

Not enough lighting in the room for me.....bathroom lighting was ok.

I did not see any bugs, but was not up for a late trip to the bathroom either. Two other people in my room that were up late, didn't see any bugs either.

One morning one wing of the hotel did not have hot water but I think it was fixed within an hour. Had to be, there were 2 or more conventions there.

Enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the restaurant---$5.99 for a vareity of things, even omlets made to order by a very friendly lady cook.

Close to casino, shuttle to casino.

STANDARDS: included hair dryer, coffee pot, Ironing board/Iron

Back in E'ville for a HS reunion - stayed two nites. It is much better than 20 yrs ago when we stayed there.
The group had a hospitality rm and we spent time in the Time Out Lounge Fri nite - good band.
Sat nite the hotel shuttle took us to the Pagoda for our party.
The room was clean, price was fair and parking is free.
The hallways smelled a little musty - like an older hotel - but not terrible.
One surprise = no news channel [CNN, Fox] in the TV

We would stay there again.

When my wife and I checked into the hotel, the lobby looked great and we thought we had made a good decision despite the negative reviews. As we were going to our room, the halls were long, bare and smelled. There was minimal lighting in the hall areas which would be scary for single women. When we arrived to our room (a jacuzzi room), there was hair all over the tub and the floor. We called several times to have the room changed or cleaned and no one did anything. We were not even offered an adjustment, free breakfast, nothing. My wife did see bugs in the room when she got up in the middle of the night for a restroom break, again, we called and nothing happened. We immediately packed our items and left the hotel (at 3:00 am) and went to another hotel. This hotel needs to be cleaned, exterminated and get a whole new staff. Management doesn't seem to be doing the job with training, etc. In closing, I would not recommend a stay at this hotel.

I was going to visit an old friend in Evansville,. He advised me to book the Executive Inn. I was reluctant based on the reviews, but he said there had been a major remodeling, so I took his advice. From the minute I walked in, I was impressed. The desk clerk and bellman were so friendly and helpful. I thought I had booked a room, but I got a suite. It was beautiful, spotlessly clean and very attractively furnished. It was very quiet at night. I plan to visit again, and I will definitely stay at the Exec.
