Beautiful and relaxing

Lovely and quiet 1950s chalet inspired public spaces lead to interior corridors and well-maintaned rooms. I was in room 215 and everything worked perfectly. I had a good night's stay but the room did have an unpleasent whiff of ammonia. I sniffed the beds and chairs (yep, weird, i know) but couldn't identify the source. In the morning I wondered if maybe they have feral cats just outside this first floor window? Full disclosure, my sense of smell is overly good at times, so your mileage may vary. Otherwise, fantastic stay.

I absolutely loved this place. Very quaint, loved the decor. Set in the woods. Very cool Pizzeria Uno next door, which used to be a speak easy. Staff is friendly and helpful. I wish we had more time here, but this was a quick overnight stop on a long road trip. Rooms were comfortable and good size, there’s a sauna and an indoor pool. I heard the breakfast is really good we left too early to enjoy it. Would definitely stay here again!

This place is absolutely haunted. Everything feels dated and kind of grimy without being actually dirty, if that makes any sense. My husband complained about a weird smell on the third floor, but thankfully we were on the second. I'm pretty sure that there are only two people working in the hotel at night, because the guy who checked me in was also running the Pizzeria Uno next door. Our room did have a very nice balcony that I enjoyed relaxing on. The landscaping around the hotel is well maintained and the overall setting in the woods feels very cozy. It is also very close to Indiana Dunes National Park, so getting around was incredibly convenient. Overall, the location has a creepy sense of abandonment, like it's on its last legs, but the staff that remains is doing its best to keep everything looking nice.

Friendly staff. Clean room. Drapes made the room dark and nice for sleeping in! Nice breakfast choices. Pool was closed for maintenance for part of one day, but fixed in a very timely manner to open by that evening. Staff addressed any concerns we had (one key card didn’t work and one wouldn’t open the exercise room - small issues) very promptly. WiFi worked well. Pizza place next door was good and really convenient. Nice outdoor seating options. We have two 9-year olds and didn’t feel anything was not kid friendly, but kids (under 18) are not allowed in sauna, exercise room, whirlpool rooms, or unattended in the pool - nothing we thought was inappropriate for 9 year olds, but may be more annoying for older kids or teens. One thing that we thought was a bit odd was the vast number of signs (many just typed pieces of paper) with “rules” written and posted. We stayed 2 nights for a trip to Indiana Dunes. Was an easy 15 minute drive to West Beach. Also went into Chesterton one afternoon. Winery was nice and lots of other shops and eateries. We’ve always done an AirBnB further away for this vacation but thought we’d try something new this year. Whole family voted to return here next time over the AirBnB. The woodsy setting is nice and appreciated that it wasn’t a typical chain hotel experience. Close enough to everything to be convenient but set aside enough to still feel peaceful.

Woodsy retreat near the Dunes

A comfortable, quaint, clean spot. Nice outdoor seating areas with swings. There's a bar and an UNO Pizzaria (not the chain)on site that was pretty delicious. Beautiful woodsy area with a stream behind the building that our balcony overlooked (lots of birds to watch). Didn't use the pool or sauna but they were open. Pretty easy to get to the parks and dunes in the area. Definitely will go back with the family

The room is dated and poorly maintained with wall paper peeling, broken laminate, holes in the walls, chipped doors and a towel bar falling pulling out of the wall. Room was musty and smelled pretty bad. There was no staff at the front desk for 15 minutes upon arrival though I had confirmed my late arrival time earlier when they called. Very overpriced for the quality and amenities being provided.

The extreme humidity has created mildew issues and the carpets are heavily scented to stop the smell. We had to leave to feel better after the 1st night and then upon returning, it seemed better.
