Nice place on a small Lake. It's been there a long time but has been nicely upgraded. It's great for a short getaway or a visit to the Indiana Dunes National Park. Enjoyed the stay.

The location on a small lake/pond attracts water birds which is lovely. The hotel is well kept but there is a great deal of litter in the immediate surroundings, which detracts from the property.

We’ll return
Comfortable! Hallway / doorways had an odd, slightly garbage- like smell that was not pleasant. The room was overall clean and comfortable.

Very nice hotel. No elevator
Very nice, clean hotel. Lobby was beautiful with great views of the pond. Staff was friendly. The only drawback was the lack of an elevator. A staff person explained the origins of this phenomenon as it related to an archaic county law. Unfortunately, this still presents a problem for anyone with mobility issues. People assume that a multi story hotel has elevators. Putting that absence into the general list of the hotel’s of amenities is not enough. Despite this problem, this hotel is a lovely place to stay.

Dumpster
It’s hard to put all the things wrong into a review that anyone will read.
To get to the point, this place is a dumpster fire floating down the river.
Be warned: they do not provide room service of any kind.
I stayed here for two weeks for a project and had to beg for toilet paper and take out my own trash.
My deck was so rotted and falling apart that is unsafe. I told the lady at the front, and she said someone was “working on it”. After the railing fell off, I collected it downstairs, brought her the lumber, and wrote my room number on it.
If ownership doesn’t train their employees to prioritize liabilities, they will certainly pay for it in the court room.
This is a great place to stay if you want to file a lawsuit against this hotel.
