I can't explain why we haven't tried this out yet as it is a very short drive for us other than to say we just haven't found the time yet Therefore I really can't make a recommendation from my own experience other than having walked through the lobby one afternoon when I happened to be driving through French Lick.

There is quite a bit of history associated with the place. For years it had fallen into ruin and the restoration is nothing less than a miracle. Also keep in mind that with the exception of the French Lick Springs Hotel just down the road there is not much in French Lick. Larry Bird grew up there and has a home there as I understand it.

There is a casino and a couple golf courses otherwise it is a typical small town but I still suggest giving it a try if just for a stopover on the way to someplace else It really is an amazing place. Prior to the modern day domed stadiums it was the largest domed structure in the world.
