FairBridge Inn Express Indianapolis South

Would I stay there again? Yes and no I stay the weekend of the Indy 500 and yes I shop for Price and yes a cheap price gives you a cheap Hotel but I know a middle of the road price gives you a cheap Hotel as well. I paid $100 a night for Friday and Saturday yes that is cheap. First it took me a week of phone calls to confirm I still had a room I meet several Desk Clerks on the phone and in person and only one knew anything (Tommi) No one seems to know how to work the computer or even no phone skills!!!! so I did manage to confirm my res the night before 1 king bed no smoking (Since this is a no smoking Motel easy) Yes it is dirty out side from people smoking and we saw no outside cleaning Yes it seams there are people that live here as many other Motels across this country. It is sad children have to grow up in a Motel so people be nice !!!! Our room was kinda a king the box spring was a king but the mattress was a queen ( this was a first) It was ok to sleep on I bring my own pillows !! the room did not smell of smoke it was clean carpet was clean sheets were clean. Has a good working AC and a mini fridge and small microwave all worked (Again this is only $100.00 a night) We asked for no room service brought my own towels shower was hard to get the temp just right but my husband up early had no problem ( This is a VERY OLD Motel !) Wish they had a coffee maker in room but Coffee in the morning at the front desk. we used the pool on the last night it was cool. A lot of children in a very small pool I didn't book because of the pool but it was ok to relax with no kids. We felt safe here our car was parked outside out room. I had planned this was you get what you pay for room and it was a little better than what I had planned on. We will most likely stay here next race I hope there are a few improvements but there are much worst Motels out there! If you are picky do not stay here !!! There are a lot of other Hotels and Motels to go too pay more get what you want !

My daughter's and I stayed here for 2 nights. That was two too many. There are "no smoking" signs everywhere, this place reeks of smoke. My girls used bath towels for the pool as there were no pool towels in the pool area. When I asked the front desk lady for 2 more bath towels, she informed me that, "housekeeping is gone until the morning and there are no clean towels." Like, at all? Not ONE clean towel in the joint? She handed me a pool towel and it had brown stains on it, so I passed. The queen size beds are WAY too large for the room size, making it very hard to maneuver with more than one person in the room. The mattresses are as comfortable as a sheet of plywood and the pillows are just sad. That was day one. Woke up to get ready for the day and went to see what breakfast was. Coffee. It was coffee. But I did get to see a lady in her pajamas in the lobby with her dog on a blanket on the ground, eating his food, so that was different. The loitering in this place is insane and I'm pretty sure people come here to do their laundry and leave. Not the safest feeling for a mom and her kids. ONLY PRO: the pool is great. I am sure the owners are trying, but there is still a lot of work to do. Please stay somewhere else.

I titled this review "Bates Motel" but at least they had a hot mom that had her son kill you.As you can see from my other reviews i generally stay in independent motels with great service and rooms. I pride myself on fair reviews and am not the type that nit pic a room or services. That being said, this place is ridiculous. I have been here now three days and have yet to see a housekeeper much less a housekeeping cart.I have asked for a simple request of an ice bucket for three days now from three different front desk clerks, apparently this is a difficult task as I have yet to receive one. When I checked in I had to go get freebreeze to be able to spray constantly in the room to get rid of the smoke smell. I need to state here that this state has a state law that prohibits smoking in motel rooms. This room was like checking into an ashtray. The room I choose was the better of the two i had to choose from. I just went to the front desk to ask for clean towels after three days since no housekeeping was anywhere to be found, I was told they had no clean towels as she had asked for some to be brought to her all day.Now in all fairness this motel offers a great rate at $260 for a week . outdated rooms, outdated furniture, outdated fixtures. my room has a tv with a vcr combination if that tells you anything. however the room was clean with clean sheets. The internet service is almost not there all together it has been down most of the time i have been here. This is a young people motel that comes here to party for the weekend. What it is not is a businessman motel that travels.Did I mention that this is a flagged Travelodge motel! They must be so proud! Only time I have ever said this in 10 years but never again!

I was in town for a job that was suppose to be all week. I paid in cash for the week on Sunday night. Monday i was told i would be going to a new job site Tuesday morning. On Tuesday they told me they could not give me a refund. I am just starting a new job and really needed that refund to live on the rest of the week. As it was i was only able to eat one meal a day the rest of the week. On top of being crooked the rooms are dirty and smell.

DO NOT STAY HERE, I would give negative stars if I could. I have no idea how this place has 3 stars but it should be removed from all travel booking sites as it is not a safe place to stay. I had driven all day and arrived close to midnight and could not see much of the property. I there were some questionable characters loitering outside but my room seemed clean and I was really tired. 2 hours later the noises started, screaming, crying, animals, I thought I was in a horror house. I was afraid to even call the front desk. It was so bad that at 5 am I booked somewhere else. When I checked out early the desk refused to refund me for my second night. They had charged my card in full at check in!!! I got a partial refund from my hotel booking site but I lodged a formal complaint with Wyndham resorts. I told them they have put themselves at risk for a lawsuit by owning that property and it needs to be shut down.

While I can't say I would never visit again, I would certainly try to find someplace else if I could. I will give it to the owners that they seem to be trying. The lobby has been remodeled and the third room they put us in was freshly painted and decorated although the bed looked a bit scarred. As far as the room situation, I booked for two doubles and found that my first room was a king. We needed the doubles, so I went back to get it changed. Then, just after all our luggage was hauled in, I got notice that we were being moved yet again because the clerk wasn't supposed to rent that room because it was going to be painted. The second room clearly was dilapidated and needed a renovation. All three rooms smelled like smoke even though it is supposed to be a smoke free hotel. The third room had cigarette burns on the tile in the bathroom and the wood flooring near the sink. The hot and cold water faucets were backwards on the sink (cold was hot and vice versa) and the shower didn't hold a consistent temperature--I had to constantly adjust the faucets. The room, towels, and sheets were clean. The pool was ok, but there weren't any pool towels. When I asked at the desk, the clerk gave me a hand towel that was gray and had a hole in it and was clearly a cleaning rag. When my daughter asked her for a towel (by this time there were five kids in the pool and still no towels), she finally went down and got some pool towels. The clientele of this establishment was rather sketchy looking and they left garbage around their trashy cars in the parking lot. My reservation said continental breakfast and considering the nice eating area in the lobby, I expected there to be something, but all that they had was coffee. No donuts, muffins, juice, or anything, just coffee. I don't know why they needed a half a dozen tables and twice as many seats for just coffee. I felt gipped.

Always a risk when you take a Priceline "blind" offer. I stayed at this Travelodge for one evening. Knowing it was a "two-star" hotel prepared me for the outdated furnishings, although it was clean. I knew it would be in a "less desirable location" this made worse by construction on I-465 nearby. All of this confirms "two-star status" but I downgrade that to "poor" for TripAdvisor for one glaring reason: the non-working internet. There were five routers at this site and one of them "locked." For a few minutes there was a barely tolerable connection, but then for the remainder of the visit, absolutely no connection at all verified with my troubleshooting software. Despite complaining to the front desk and being told "the routers will be reset" there was a continued failure. For me, this is fatal to recommending a hotel and so easily remedied by hotel management. This is an inferior, below grade hotel in the first place and when you add the nonfunctioning internet, I cannot recommend this property. There are many other choices. I will not make this choice again.

It is apparent this rundown motel is undergoing renovation. The lobby has all new flooring and decoration and looks nice, but the room had holes in the walls and "antique" furniture which I don't think was antique, just dilapidated. Parking lot lights didn't work, making it feel unsafe. May be a nice place in a year or two.

One of the worst nights I have even spent at a motel. The second floor hallway looked like it had not been cleaned. There was a hole in the bathroom wall. We didn't have enough towels and none were made available. The bed was so uncomfortable I had to sleep in the chair - the chair was comfortable. To top it off the advertised breakfast was not available.

Hands down the worst hotel I've ever seen. I always check the beds at every hotel, when I pulled back the cover, the sheets were literally stained,yellow. There was crusty residue on the sheet as well as holes in the sheets. The carpets were dirty and looked as though they hadn't been vacuumed in weeks. It was disgusting.
