Woodridge Motel — Hotel in Terre Haute

This small mom and pop motel was a very pleasant surprise. The family owners are very friendly and accommodating. The price is more than reasonable and included everything we needed.

Later that evening I discovered cockroaches in the bathroom. The desk attendant offered to refund us only half of what we had paid. We reluctantly accepted this offer.

There was also a discrepancy on the cost of the room. The customer receipt and pending credit card charge indicates $75 was charged. My partner and I explicitly remember signing a merchant copy receipt for $86 and change. The desk attendant also insisted on a $20 cash deposit as well.
