Check in with Kayla went really good. This was our second time in 5 weeks to stay here. We chose The Cascades Inn in November 2025 because the room choices were limited due to the IU football game. We were pleasantly surprised with the how nice the motel/hotel was & the proximity to Memorial Stadium & Assembly Hall (6 minutes). I gave a review previously with pictures. Cascades Park is behind the hotel. This time when we returned, the place was not at all busy. I was welcomed by Kayla at check in & she was as extremely pleasant!! We found out that the Sleepers Bar on the property was closed!! Yes, it was Sunday but… there was a BigTen Indiana University Basketball game that evening. We had 9 people that were wanting to pregame. The bar had been closed for 10 days over the holidays (12/21-12/31/25) so we were so hopeful to have our pregame there……. But…. So now back to the room, I booked a King Deluxe with a garden view. Now, note that it’s winter & the “garden” is all dead & brown. But! The courtyard is nice. The room we got was ground level, Room 120 with a wall & fire extinguisher “view”!! There were sooooo many empty rooms. But……. Because we paid $80 for the room & we were only there For 1 night, we decided to just stay put. It’s a cute , clean place. Very pleasant staff & close to IU. It’s a motel that acts like a hotel. On a scale of 1-10 we give it a 7.5.

Very clean and a diamond in the ruff. The exterior of this building doesn't look like much from the road. Once you get into the lobby and rooms things change. I want to come back when the garden is in bloom

This was a quaint hotel. It was not fancy, but it was clean & the staff was friendly. The bed was amazing! We were able to get a good night's sleep. The rooms were well maintained, and we will be back if we need to stay in town.

Minor thing: they need to adjust or replace the door closer on 111. It doesnt latch on casual closing. I think it's catching on the carpet. You have to yank it hard.

Staff was very nice. Beds were clean and comfortable, wooden floors clean, typical continental breakfast. The place shows its age a bit. Our bathtub was dirty with a bunch on dark dirt spots and the shower head is set low. Not good for someone over 6 foot. But plenty of hot water. All in all, good for price.

This place is underrated. The staff is nice and I love the old school motel vibe. They do a great job of keeping the courtyard looking nice. I'll be back!

The hotel is definitely older, some things were damaged such as the pull out bed and obvious water stains in the drywall around the door. My wife and I really enjoyed the stay, the room was clean and staff was nice. I think for the condition and price of the hotel rooms its a great option!
