The property itself was clean and had a couple of leaks from rain. It was a basic hotel and good if you just need a place to sleep near the interstate. Staff was friendly. Close to shopping.

Very good area to stay in. Rooms look a little ghetto but the bed is comfortable, no bed bugs, and AC works great. Breakfast sucked with only expired oat milk, watered down apple juice, and bagels for your 1st meal of the day. Staff were amazing tho and super friendly/helpful. Good area for those looking to hike Indiana Dunes National/State Park.
