We loved the lake view and watching all the birds. The room was not super clean but clean enough (there was someone else's dirty clothes on the floor when we first arrived - which makes me wonder if the floors were cleaned). We slept good (little noise other than train in distance) and the bed was comfortable. Super close to Indiana Dunes National & State Park. Several close food, Walgreens, etc within walking distance. Breakfast was good (waffles, eggs, sausage, bananas/apples, muffins, etc). Our daughter enjoyed the indoor pool.

Was close to the National Park. Rooms are what you’d expect. Pillows could have been better. Water pressure decent and the breakfast at least didn’t have the powdered eggs that a lot of places put out. Decent value for a place to crash after hiking the Dunes.

There was no elevator and I was with my 8 treat old granddaughter so that meant I had to carry everything up and down the stairs. Additionally the photos show the beautiful pond that the hotel is on, which is one of the reasons we booked it. Unfortunately our room was facing the parking lot. The pool was big, but the shallowest depth was over 4 feet and my granddaughter couldn’t touch. There were only a few chairs and one table set up in the pool area as well.There was not a hot tub. The room was clean and the staff were nice. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the shower to work so I just took a bath.

Wonderful hotel!

Lots of options at breakfast! Eggs, sausage, waffle bar, yogurt bar, cereal, muffins, toast, fruit, juices, and coffee! When there was a line for the waffle maker, the lady running the food service area was making them for people in the back on another machine. Service was amazing! The beds were comfortable and clean.
