The Green Gables has put in some good improvements since I stayed here a couple of years ago. The thing you should realize about this motel is that it offers very high value. So remember that it's not the Ritz Carlton you're checking into. With that in mind:
The room is good - clean, double bed is comfortable, TV works, two lamps that work and a little refrigerator and also a microwave. So you have what you need for a few nights. Also, outside each room there are little chairs so you can sit outside which in the summer, is a very pleasant thing to do. And it's fun to talk with the other guests; they are always interesting people.
The location cannot be beat. It is very near Scripps Park which has a playground, a picnic area and a fabulous aquatic center with a giant slide. It's also across the road from the Fitness Center where you can buy a $10 day pass - lap pool, gyms, workout room - great facility. It's also close to the best Mexican restaurant around - Los Charros. Alway busy because it's so good.
The parking lot is well lit, the grass is mowed and manicured. I think it is a very fine place for the money. It's also quite safe. I don't think I needed to lock my door - of course, I did, but it's a quiet place despite the fact that it's right on Rt 24.
Lastly, the owner of this motel is a very fine woman. I had a problem - I lost my key - and she couldn't have been more understanding. She is kind. I stayed a few nights and had the chance to visit with her and she's interesting.
I recommend this motel as the best value in Rushville. read more
