Generic motel and room, average size, averagely clean and decorated. But it has the right stuff--hangers, ironing board and iron, mini fridge and microwave, desk with comfortable office chair, a small pool and fitness center, and food (Ponderosa Steakhouse) right across the parking lot. The breakfast is also average but the donuts from a local bakery are a great touch (not available on Mondays though as I understand).

Our son and his family recently moved to Washington. We took our grandson in the pool and had a great time. It wasn't a large pool, but there were few other guests using it. Our bed was comfortable.
My husband raved about the biscuits and gravy. The rest of the breakfast was OK----toast, waffles, bagels. The woman in charge of the breakfast area, was friendly and helpful. She made sure everything was clean. The room where we ate was small, but very sunny. The overflow dining area didn't have an overhead light on, so it seemed dark to me.

Hotel has not been remodeled since it was built in the 1980's. On the second day we stayed we unable to get soap or shampoo after they cleaned our room. This hotel caters to construction works and high school teams, coal trucks also run up and down the bypass all night, If you complain you will be the one asked to leave. The management are rude and very unprofessional. The free breakfast is not worth the trouble of staying. The only reason we stayed in this dump was the Holiday Inn Express was full. I even think I might have gotten bed bugs.


Stay away!!!

Travelling to southern Indiana during the exciting IHSAA Basketball Sectionals and Regionals, I camped out at the Baymont on Tuesday night, March 1. Four Class A schools played that night in Sectional play at North Daviess HS: Washington Catholic, Shoals, Vincenness Rivet, and Barr-Reeve.

Before the double-header, I checked into the hotel at 3 PM, and I asked for a room overlooking the pond on the backside of the hotel. The serene pond reflects a few trees, and ducks visited in the morning. Several workers were also hammering in new, colonial blue carpeting throughout the hotel.

At the ballgame, a terrific saxophone player "Star-Spangled Bannered" his way through the Anthem, and the games were great.

Sleep was bliss.

The next day, on Wednesday morning, during a much needed vacation bubblebath, my reverie was interupted by more carpet installation. Hammer hammer hammer hammer. Auugh. Serenity now!

I visited the front desk at 10 AM and asked "for a modest discount or a new room." - and the gracious hotel desk obliged.

I wanted to take a morning swim here too, but the breakfast room overlooks the pool. I did not want anyone to lose their appetite, so I skipped the pool. The variety of breakfast foods was wonderful.

There is a 24-hour Wal Mart a short drive from the hotel, across the main road.
