Room was affordable, comfortable and accommodating. Great location. Required updating of interior - not modern. Room was clean, but not in great condition. However, supplies were abundant and friendly staff. Good working shower. It was functional and accommodating. Restaurant offers a great menu and is currently a "Hi-lo restaurant". If you require a affordable, this is a good go to. Check it out.

These pics must be very old. Our room had a broken faucet handle,holes in the bathroom door,broken lamp still in use[probably a fire hazard],the main door had many gouges in it ,all the wood furniture had chips and the bedspread/blanket smelled of old cigarette smoke even though it was a non-smoking room.Horrid place but looks really good from the outside.

I NEVER do reviews of the hotels that I stay in because I am not picky at all and I don't use them very often. BUT, something happened at THIS place that was nothing like I have experienced at a hotel/motel before...we went down to visit family overnight and stayed here. It was total CRAP..old, dirty, smelly, dark...but we thought it's one night, AND it's a smoking room, so whatever, we'll just deal with it as were going home tomorrow. We brought our dogs, and were playing ball in the room with them before we left the next day when the ball rolled under the dresser. We looked under the dresser to get the ball and there was a SYRINGE NEEDLE with the cap on under the dresser, FULLY LOADED with some black substance I am assuming was heroin. I WAS MORTIFIED. Needless to say we weren't long getting out of there...NASTY...and when we told them about it?? They didn't even bat an eye, they weren't surprised in the least, they just said "you didn't touch it right?" Seriously??...we asked for our money back for the dogs (they wanted an extra 20$ per dog/night, there was NO way having 2 small dogs in that dump for 24 hours made it a speck dirtier than it already was!) and they said sorry that wasn't possible..PLEASE, just stay somewhere else...there are many hotels down there that are dog friendly and we will definitely be choosing elsewhere next time cause not only was this place dirty & dated beyond belief, I also feel now that it's not a safe place to be either if those are the kinds of activities that are going on there.

We stayed here as it was close to restaurants and shopping - and my friend remembered the food in the restaurant was good. We asked for a non-smoking room - it clearly was not - when I complained they put us in a different room - dirty stained carpets and couch - walls were damaged. The stairwell to the 2nd floor was littered with garbage. As well the room was very cold - and there were no extra blankets. Luckily I had 2 car blankets in my car.

I stayed here for a couple of weeks with my family. The breakfast was continental but the michigan diner which is next door has breakfast and they are always busy. The playground for our kids right in front of our room was a hit. We did not use the pool but it was frequently used. The maids were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. I would stay here again .

The previous reviewer is correct, this place is a "sentimental habit" for old timers who have simply been going there too long to know better. There are a couple motel-restaurant places along Howard that fit that bill. That being said, they do offer a decent but not exceptional value with their breakfast buffet. The only good thing I can say is that you won't go home hungry - but you can do better elsewhere for about the same price. The absense of a toast station and those simulated scrambled eggs are the main problem. The "drunk uncle earl's" decor I can put up with - it's part of the Ivy Rose kitsch.

Aside from having the ambience of drunk uncle Earl's basement (which is kinda almost cool in a kitschy way, but not), the food we had on two separate occasions was not good. Chicken was rubbery, pasta was the frozen boil-in-bag kind, tuna salad was soupy and too sweet (and at least two days old - very brown). The service was almost non-existent, no drink refills, no "how is everything?" This place is apparently a sentimental habit for a lot of folks...to me it's a bad habit that I won't be picking up.

We tried the breakfast buffet for the first time on Sunday. We have been going to the Ivy since the kids were little and now we're taking the grandkids. THE best breakfast place in Windsor.
