Location was great for our trip, balcony was nice.

The shower didn't work, could not get anything on the T.V. , and small bugs flying around the room....

It’s a decent place to stay, it’s definitely comfy and staff is friendly. The balcony and lake are a great aspect

8.0

I love the balcony and lake view. The rooms were spacious and comfy.

Paying right when you get to the hotel instead of once you check out.

Affordable, simple and clean

7.0

We loved that it was so close to Indiana Dunes State Park, and it sits on a lake with balconies in every room.

It’s very basic - no breakfast, no restaurant/cafe, just rooms and an ice machine lol. However, the staff were very nice and responsive to requests and our room was spacious and clean.

Convenient location to amenities in town and National Park. Balcony overlooks a small lake. Water is literally right un

7.0

Right across the parking lot from a Walgreens and restaurants. Just a few minutes from Indiana Dunes National Park and an hour from Chicago.

Had a little trouble getting the shower to come on because water pressure went down the hotter the water was.

Great place to stay and unwind with great views and amenities nearby. We will definitely stay here again!

9.0

The room was very spacious and the view of the lake and all of the wildlife was incredible. Location was close to everything we needed and not far from the beach.

The only drawback was that we had our young granddaughter and she would have loved to have had a pool. But overall it was very comfortable and relaxing and we will stay here again!
