Nice place for traveling with kids. Christmas motif all year is fun. Xmas theme park maybe a mile away. Paved bike path across the street. Facility was kinda dated, beds average, no micro or fridge in room, but clean. The one attendant was very friendly and bubbly. Pizza place across the parking lot, but not a lot of other restaurant options in the area. Everything in town has a Santa motif.

Cool vintage feel

We truly enjoyed our stay here! The hotel is a little outdated but it was very clean! My kids loved the pool and hot tub! The Santa theme is perfect! This is a huge building too! I was amazed at how they can keep up with it. The breakfast was just waffles, cereal and toast but it suited us just fine, for the price it was great!

Very nice place. I assume at one time this place was hopping! Just not the same vibe as in the good ole days when people were nicer to each other and they celebrated family more. We had a very good time! Thank you

Check-in was fast and the girl at the desk was very friendly. The decor is charming and my kids enjoyed all of the Christmas decorations. Room was very clean and the beds are comfortable. We weren’t in the room very much because we were at Holiday World but we would definitely stay here again.

We liked this location and will stay here again. The staff was great. The breakfast was good and we were there at the end. We will bring our own towels next time though because these were thin, rough and not absorbent. Beds were old but comfortable and clean.
