The lake view was nice, area was peaceful. You can hear the trains and the interstate, and there were some small maintenance issues. Overall a relaxing stay with a comfortable bed.

Hotel is beautiful, and we had a lovely view of the wildlife on the lake. Everything smells like weed though.

The front of the hotel and common areas are nothing to brag about. Outdated and in need of an upgrade, however, the room was recently updated, large, clean, and quiet. There are plenty of places to eat and shop, many within walking distance, but what makes this hotel unique and wonderful was the small balcony overlooking the large lake behind the property. We loved sitting on the balcony watching all the birds, geese, and cranes in their natural habitat. Looks like a nature preserve, and it was completely unexpected judging by the busy commercial area the hotel is located. And very close to Indiana Dunes National Park. So, if you can look past the front of the building, the lobby, and the hallways of the hotel, it was a very reasonably priced and descent room with a nice balcony directly on a large lake providing 24hr natural entertainment. We would stay there again just for the view.

Just love this place! My son and I have stayed at this hotel 5-6 times over the past four years on our way to and from Des Moines. There are so many reasons we keep coming back. Convenient location, wonderful, attentive and friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, good heat and AC, safe and quiet area. Lots of places to eat with many locally owned. We especially love the lake outside the property with all the geese. Beautiful and relaxing place and my son and I highly recommend staying here.
