FairBridge Inn Express Merrillville

This is a extremely low motel. The rooms are very old school and not clean. There's a odd smell, cobb webs, mold in the bathroom, the carpet is filthy they don't vacuum behind the furniture or under the bed I found a used condom wrapper in the room. They put a strip on the toilet saying clean/sanitized and you can see the urine on the toilet. There's no shower liner so you're getting everyone else grems, just was up in the sink the best way that you can. The don't clean the shower/tub you can see the dirt ring. The don't take the comforters or blankets nor sheets off the bed and clean them I have found hair and blood stains on the bed, the bedding has cigarette holes. They don't dust the mirrors or the furniture or the "headboard", curtains smell like cigarettes because they are not taking

Positive: Parking Negative: the beds are like quick sand, the floor is like quick sand. Tar buildup from smoking the wand to pull the curtain back was so brown along with the a/c vents. The rooms are not deep clean they're only spot cleaned 1 room had black mold in the bath.bathroom

Based on the architecture this is an ex-Knights Inn. I knew that this would be a no-frills budget property but a series of four star reviews on another site persuaded me that this would be one of those gems in the rough. It was not, and I wonder if the reviews were genuine. The room we were assigned did not resemble the example in the advertisement. It was run down with a rusty fridge and torn carpet. It had a dinginess to it where it felt uncomfortable to be there, like anything you touched might be sticky. When you check in there are signs everywhere telling guests how to behave and that they might be thrown out if they're rowdy, which is not a good sign. We couldn't get the wifi to stay connected. It was cheap though.

Idk why reviews so low!!! Peaceful community, clean rooms, no bugs, WAY cheaper than where we were at, rooms are big, actual lights instead of just lamps, and staff was amazing and polite! It does have the smell of cigarette smoke but what can you do about that there is zero smoking now.And actual REAL cable! Staying all week ty guys!!!

Great location everything close. The mall across the street. Walmart down the street. Been coming here for a few years now when I visit Indiana. Nice little hidden motel. Price very reasonable. No complaints good vibes
