Do not stay!!!

Horrible. Parking lot and grounds were overgrown. Broken windows, building literally looks like it’s falling apart. Lights out in hallways making it pitch black and dangerous. Breakfast was make your own waffles but the machine didn’t work. When I walked in the man at the desk just said ‘ID’. He told me my room number and nothing else.

There was no breakfast except one crappy waffle maker and cereal. We stayed for 5 nights and were only given 2 towels and not allowed any fresh ones. We were yelled at for using the microwave in the lobby at 10:30 to heat up our dinner. No microwave in room. No functioning TV. The property was poorly maintained and dirty.

Where to start, the front desk attendant was nodding off as she was trying to program my roomkey. She was without a doubt under the influence of opiates or sedatives. The room smelled musty, no Kleenex or toilet paper in the room, the garbage had not been taken out from the last guest. There was no remote for the TV. And the toilet didn't flush. And to top it all off, no shampoo, soap, or lotion in the room. Linens were filthy. This place needs some serious work. This property was stunning when it was the Carlton Lodge. Now it's a seedy drug den. I should be refunded. That place is absolutely filthy.

Run away from the Horward Johnson of Merrillville

The worst place ever. It was run down with furniture that looked like it came from a thrift store, the locks were broke hallways smelled. The vending machines were broken. The ceilings were missing tiles and had wires hanging from them. I didn’t even stay I left after 15 of being in the room.

The property was rundown. Our bathroom had 1/2 used bottles of shampoo and lotion. Only 1/2 of the pool was open and no pool towels available. We did not feel safe and ended up leaving and staying with family nearby even though our stay was non-refundable. Would not recommend this hotel even for the low price. I have stayed at many Wyndham hotels but this hotel was nothing like other Wyndham hotels.

If I could rate this property and -0 I would never in my travels, have I encountered such a filthy room the bathtub had dirt in it. The bedding was disgusting. There was spiderwebs throughout the room and dead bugs on the floor. The lighting was so dim as if they were trying to shelter you from being able to see it. The building smelled, the room smelled the entire state was very regretful, but I had no other place to stay as everywhere else was sold out. I do not recommend.

regret staying here. changed the mood

Property is in bad state overrall. I failed to read the comments before booking, was in a hurry. Broken toilet set. broken towel rack. Dirty counter, sink, nightstand. Needed vacuuming. Breakfast so-so. Fire alarm went off at 1:31 AM. Fire dept came out. probably sprinkler system issue. I was concerned about carbon monoxide therefore did not sleep more. Sleep and never wake up.

Dirty scamming hotel

The place looks nothing like in the pictures. When we arrived the first thing we noticed was the trash in a corner of the hotel outside. It looks old and run down. As we were walking to our room there was mold on the walls white powder on the carpet and trash in bags in hallways. When we finally got to out room it was no different, the beds didn’t even have comforters stains everywhere the bed skirts were too big for the bed so they were overhanging torn and ripped, the fridge was so dirty inside and out. The ac barely worked and it looked to have mold inside. Breakfast in the morning was trash and in very little quantities. We only stayed one night. 3 weeks after staying there I checked my credit card statement and they actually charged me $82 extra for the one night stay aside from the $120 I paid for the room on hotels.com I tried calling the manager for a whole week and they would either hang up the phone on me or deny him till I finally spoke to him and was of no help. I still don’t understand why if I paid $120 on hotels for the one night stay the hotel would charge me an extra $82 for that single night. I contacted customer service and they were able to refund me my money. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!
