After 7 years of staying at the Motel 6 and Super 8, this year I switched to:
Days Inn and Suites Kokomo
3980 South Reed Road
Kokomo, IN 46902 US
Phone: 1-765-4537100

This is right off Route 31 and near IHOP and Cracker Barrel. Wish I had switched before. Very friendly people, clean and comfortable rooms, haven't been bothered by noisy neighbors, good rates. If you like fish, there is a restaurant on-site. If you go to the restaurant, be sure to get the bean soup and get the tomatoes with it. It is actually pickled green tomatoes and is great. They make it themselves.
