FAMILY HOTEL

WE GOT A GREAT RATE AT THIS HOTEL AND IT WAS NEAR THE INDIANA DUNES, SO I HAVE NO ROOM TO COMPLAIN. THE ROOM ITSELF WAS NICE ENOUGH, CLEAN AND COMFY. THE BEDS HAD A TEMPURPEDIC TYPE MATTRESS. NOT SURE I LIKED IT, REALLY HARD. DID NOT EAT AT THE BREAKFAST, BUT LOOKED LIKE PEOPLE WERE ENJOYING IT. THE POOL AREA IS VERY NICE, AND HAS A NICE KIDDIE AREA A HOT TUB IN THE MIDDLE AND A POOL ON THE OTHER END. WITH FAMILIES THIS IS PERFECT, BUT LOUD WITH KIDS. THE HOT TUB WAS NICE AND HOT AND WORKED WELL. OVERALL I ENJOYED THIS HOTEL AND WOULD STAY AGAIN IF EVER IN THE AREA.

The Longhorn Steak House is right next door and has excellant food. Just be mindful that it isn't cheap.

Good place to stay

Great place to stay, very clean. I didn't care for the mattress though - it was firm and form fitting - almost like sleeping in sand. I did get used to it and slept good. I prefer the pillowtop mattresses.

Really nice place

We stayed here on a long weekend getaway to enjoy the Indiana Dunes, and it was wonderful. The hotel was right off the interstate, with a great steakhouse (where we ate twice)and Starbucks right next door; best of all, the Lake was less than 10 min. away. The room was very clean and the bed was quite comfortable. The breakfast was also a pleasant surprise, with hot sausage and biscuits and gravy available. The only thing I didn't care for was the overpowering smell of chlorine in the pool area. Other than that, it was a great deal for the money a really nice place to have a relaxing weekend.

nice and clean

We found the room neat and clean but the room was across from the pool dehumidifier, which was noisy and ran all night. We had traveled far that day and were very tired. We were just happy to have a place to sleep. We did not complain about the noise, we only stayed one night. Next time we will book or ask for a room in a different area of the hotel.

Very nice

We asked for a quiet room - it was quiet. The beds were very very comfortable!!! The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. We didn't go near the pool or fitness center. I would recomend this to anyone.
