The lake view was wonderful. Unfortunately there was a lot of goose droppings everywhere so you had to watch your step. Staff was nice.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was clean and bed was comfortable. The most amazing part is the small lake right outside the room. We saw swans with babies, Canada geese with babies, an otter, a couple turtles, a couple of cranes, that was amazing! You can tell the hotel is older and the owners are maybe newer and trying to make it. The hotel could use updating but it was clean and comfortable. Person who checked us in, maybe owner, was very nice and efficient. Would stay here again. Close to Indiana Dunes National Park.

I loved the huge room with balcony directly on the lake. I so enjoyed the herons and various birds active in the morning. If back in the area, this would be my #1 choice!

Room was clean. Check-in staff, friendly. However, smoke detector hanging out of the ceiling and very low water pressure made for a not so “comfortable” stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful views, you felt like you were away at a lake (rather than in an area with lots of businesses). The room was nice, having the balcony was a treat to sit out and enjoy the view! Our small complaint was the luggage cart was terrible, so that made it difficult to bring our luggage in - otherwise, great stay!

Our room was large and included a refrigerator, microwave, and table that we used to make our own quick meals. The price is reasonable and the location is in close proximity to restaurants and a grocery store. The location is great for exploring Indiana Dunes National and State Parks.

I really disliked that the tv kept dimming to the point you couldn’t watch anything because of that . You’d have to turn it off and on or turn the volume up and down every 12 seconds to turn up the brightness. Settings and menu on the remote were locked
