I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay at The Lofts on Main in historic Cambridge City, Indiana. The…read moremost important thing for me in lodging is cleanliness, and the Lofts felt brand new! The rooms were airy and comfortable and tastefully decorated. In fact, when we first arrived it was fun just looking at the vintage artifacts sprinkled throughout. The kitchen area was sparkling clean and had everything I needed to prepare some dishes for our holiday meal. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom had plenty of towels! For anyone driving east-west through central Indiana, I'd highly recommend taking U.S. 40 (the Old National Road), exploring historic Cambridge City (lots of great antique stores!), and staying at The Lofts on Main. I'm already looking for an excuse to go back in the new year.

The Lofts on Main are a new hot spot in Cambridge City, IN - located right along US Route 40 (The…read moreNational Road) and in the midst of an antique alley. With 2 lofts available, you can choose the west loft for a solo or couples getaway (sleeps 2) or the east loft for a group (sleeps up to 4). The lofts are newly remodeled in a historic downtown building. Each loft features a cozy & comfortable king-sized bed, kitchen, dining area, spacious living room, a washer/dryer, and full-size bathroom. You can rent by the night or long term. The living room was one of my favorite spots, with super cozy couches, pillows, a blanket, armchair, games, books to read, and a nice sized smart TV. The stocked kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook a meal or just have something simple. A Keurig and K-cups are provided. The candy dish in the kitchen was a nice, sweet touch. Cleaning supplies & disinfectants were made available in the loft as well. You enter the suites through the front of the building and stairs are used to access them. A backdoor with stairs that lead to the parking lot in the back of the building is available as well if need. A laundry closet features and washer and dryer, laundry basket, and other laundry accessories. The front windows look out unto Route 40, adding lots of natural lights and a quiet view. My stay was quiet and comfortable. It was a perfect little getaway. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Suggestions for cinnamon rolls at King's Cafe (walking distance) and visiting the surrounding shops were appreciated (and delicious).

We have booked here for two nights. We chose this hotel for…read moretwo reasons. First, location. It's close to a family gathering during our stay so we chose this for logistics. Second, family has stayed here before and gave the hotel raving reviews. I'm not sure why. Generally the family that gave this hotel raving reviews has a certain level of standards which I would assume would have meant more than our experience. The first room we were given was infested with flies. We killed 10 within minutes and after that 6 more just showed up immediately. So we went down and asked for another room. We were given one with a jacuzzi. No, we have no plans on haul v that and there are several reasons why. The first and second rooms are clean. But, it's clear the hotel is in a serious need of updating and refreshing. Now, I understand a few things about this location. First, it's a small town and what I assume to be a privately ran hotel. On our first night there was maybe 10 people here in a hotel that probably has 100 rooms? So my point here is income probably does not generate the funds necessary to save for dramatic improvements of any scale or variety. Being in a small town there is literally only a few options to stay unless you drive to a bigger city like Richmond closer to an interstate, etc. doing a google search I found three choices in town and this appeared to be the best. Rooms are not that awesome. First room had the aforementioned fly infestation, toilet seat was well used and worn down to what appeared to be black wood underneath. (I hope) Second and first room both had outdated and well worn and in some places town carpet. Rubber molding around the walls near floors were torn away in spots and drywall plaster was cracked or busted in spots in and around corners in bath and other places. Parking lot is dimly lit unless you park right by the building where huge wall lamps give a 1970's incandescent yellow hue of light that somehow bounces off the building good enough to illuminate the front of your car. There are light posts that are from what I can tell the size of a battery powered throw away infomercial lantern. In fact. They are positioned about 30 feet from each other on the exterior of the lot and are most certainly solar powered as they were casting no light at 6 am on anything at all. So, if lot safety is a concern of yours and what I have said already is not enough to turn you off then book away. I believe the rate per night was around $140 and that might have been with taxes and fees.. again. If you are one of three hotels in town you get the luxury of slapping a charge on a rate and seeing if anyone bites. They offer continental breakfast. But, in looking at the quality of the offerings you might be wise to choose coffee or a preserved yogurt cup. I was even skeptical of the coffee as the coffee urns on the bun coffee maker looked like the last time they seen soap and water was before dish washers were invented. I'd skip the pastries and dried cereal which looked stale.. I'd even skip the waffle maker and aerosol can of butter and syrup mix as well. Maybe go try and find the McDonald's or a Cracker Barrel even farther away.. Finally, for the smokers or the smoke smoker haters that are reading this post. This hotel most certainly used to be a smoking hotel. How the peeled off signs on the entry doors and on occasional rooms that have not yet been peeled off state its non smoking. But, as my wife has recently stopped smoking and is keen to smells that never bothered her before.. she can still smell the lingering odors in the room which shout out it has seen decades of cigarette smoke. Just bring some Febreeze and that should tame it down. First nights rest? Well, the rooms are quiet overall, I could not hear talking or television noises from guests next to us. I did hear what sounded like a t-Rex walking around in the room uostairs this morning. I assume hunting for prey for breakfast. Bed slept ok for one that has clearly seen a few decades of use. Sheets are alright. But, clearly are the low end. Comforter is well used and low end. But, it appears all was clean. However I elected not to freak myself out and dig deep on this one for usual things that would creep someone out. I should point out that front desk clerk at check in was nice. We booked through a third party website and she had trouble matching up our credit card with reservation. She was a new clerk though. We did not get the usual questions like make and model and plate number and that kind of thing. But, we did not get any arguments as to switching rooms when we brought up the fly infestation either. Almost like they knew.. But, now that you read this you can make your own choice. It certainly may will give us cause to ask family.. Why did you think it was so nice? Maybe it was at a point in the past. But, now it's just "ok" IMO.

A/C was working great, turned it on then went for supper, gone less than an hour and it was cool enough in room we had to turn the temp up. Had a good night sleep and was able to enjoy the continental breakfast. Seems like about a dozen cars there but it was a weeknight. I would recommend staying there because it is better than driving 30 minutes to a corporate hotel that will charge more. They have improved a lot considering the area has had some layoffs and cutbacks.

Tenderloin alert!!! I travel and find great joy in trying new places to try a tenderloin. This may…read moreonly be an Indiana obsession, but call me a Hoosier; I am hooked on them. I tried the loaded tots and tenderloin. The tots were crisp, but not over cooked. There was adequate cheese and bacon on top of the tots, but not so much that they made the tots mushy. Too often restaurants pride themselves with "a tenderloin as big as your head", but this is accomplished by beating the tenderloin so thin that it's as thin as a sheet of notebook paper. So then all you ever really taste on the tenderloin is just batter and crisp crunch. If you are a lover of the crunchy 14 inch diameter tenderloin...this is not for you. The Maplewood tenderloin was breaded, thick and juicy. It is a little bigger than the bun, and you can load with toppings as you please. It was great surprise is now in my top 5 in the state! Updates: the pub is smoke free, restrooms are clean, and tables are sanitized. The mixed drinks are good. Try their special "baby beer" made with Licor 43, heavy cream and served in a mini beer shot glass. There are plenty of TV's if you are trying to catch a game and it is a laid back environment. They have karaoke on Fridays and the ages of the crowd vary from 21 to 75! A solid safe little pub to enjoy a night out.

The staff is friendly. Housekeeping even wrote us a kind little note left in the room that said "enjoy your stay" with a smiley face. You get a physical key (can ask for 2 per room). Doors lock on their own. Two stories. For the standard room with two beds, the sheets were soft and pillows were super cushy. Plenty of blankets to stay warm. There's a TV with cable and free wifi, although it might take a few tries to connect. There was a mini fridge and microwave in one of our rooms, but the other room was missing a microwave. One of the rooms has a ceiling leak, which is our only real concern. No carbon monoxide detectors in rooms, if you're concerned about that. Some hand soap and another kind of liquid soap is provided with a few towels. The towels are your standard white hotel towel that are super thin and get damp quickly - if they ever upgrade I'd consider getting thicker towels!! The shower/bath tub is pretty big and you can adjust the water pressure between darts of water and a slow drip, and the water temp is good. The room is pretty cold but you can adjust it - bring layers!! They have vending machines and ice. Coffee is provided in the lobby but they no longer have free breakfast due to COVID - not sure when that'll come back if ever. Wal-Mart is conveniently right across the street for all your other needs. Overall enjoyed my stay!

I was happy that I found this place, because the room was adequate and it was fun to walk up and down the main drag in Metamora to see all the shops and restaurants open that weekend. I understand the accomodations of a b&b aren't going to be up to hotel standards, so if you expect that going in you shouldn't be disappointed with your stay. In the morning we had a yummy breakfast of cinnamon rolls, biscuits and gravy, fruit, cereal and anything else you could ask for. Betty did a great job making sure we were satisfied, and even sat and talked with us while we ate. You can't beat the price: $70 for the night we stayed. I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.
