"Friendly staff and clean facility. Check-in was easy and the front desk employee overheard my daughter say she hoped we were on the top floor, and they gave us the top floor. It was a small, but very kind and appreciated gesture! "
"i don't usually write reviews but figure that this one was worth it. I'd say like all properties and experiences, your expectations matter a lot. So, if you're going to Santa Clause, IN, you're likely going to Holiday World as part of the trip. And if that's what you're doing and using this hotel for, it is perfect.
Location is great, maybe 2 minutes drive to Holiday World parking. It is an easy walk or drive to grocery, 1-2 restaurants, etc in case you need to supply up and/or feed your crew. Santa's Lodge is cool and quirky and fun, so just lean into it. That's what you're here for. The free breakfast is legit, though some more variety would be nice (especially for guests staying more than one day; eating the same exact heavy breakfast 2+ days in a row would get old). But between the timing of the breakfast and when Holiday World opens (10am, but they start letting people in around 9:30 to form lines etc), there's plenty of time to fuel up and feed your crew. A good breakfast will then give you some base to go hit the park and then maybe push your lunch until after the big rush.
Other aspects we liked were the pool (2 of 'em, indoor and outdoor) and hot tub. We also really enjoyed the onsite pond, which definitely has fish, so bring a pole and tackle if you are interested in a little easy fishing in between Holiday World trips.
The hotel is really dated, so don't expect it to be the nicest, most up-to-date accommodations But just know that going in and have fun!"

"I liked how we got main floor and by an exit to our car and front office. The one thing i didnt like was lack of breakfast options. And if there was options they tasted incredibly bland. One morning i had 2 mini donuts and a mini muffin for breakfast because that's all there really was, unless i wanted incredibly hard waffles. Otherwise everything else was fine."

What are holiday rentals like in Siberia?
Holiday rentals are privately owned properties you can book for a few days, or a quick weekend, in Siberia. Holiday rentals feature amenities such as kitchens and laundry facilities so you'll feel just like you're staying in your own home. If you're concerned about a clean environment, holiday rentals can offer a sense of safety away from shared hotel lifts and busy lobbies while still allowing you a great travel experience. You'll also get more space in a holiday rental than in a standard hotel, which makes a holiday rental a great choice for a small group gathering.
