The lake view was nice, area was peaceful. You can hear the trains and the interstate, and there were some small maintenance issues. Overall a relaxing stay with a comfortable bed.

Hotel is beautiful, and we had a lovely view of the wildlife on the lake. Everything smells like weed though.

The front of the hotel and common areas are nothing to brag about. Outdated and in need of an upgrade, however, the room was recently updated, large, clean, and quiet. There are plenty of places to eat and shop, many within walking distance, but what makes this hotel unique and wonderful was the small balcony overlooking the large lake behind the property. We loved sitting on the balcony watching all the birds, geese, and cranes in their natural habitat. Looks like a nature preserve, and it was completely unexpected judging by the busy commercial area the hotel is located. And very close to Indiana Dunes National Park. So, if you can look past the front of the building, the lobby, and the hallways of the hotel, it was a very reasonably priced and descent room with a nice balcony directly on a large lake providing 24hr natural entertainment. We would stay there again just for the view.

The location and surrounding area is really nice. The beds were not very comfortable though—maybe the king size bed would have been better. Walkable to several restaurants—and Chesterton always has nice food in general.

Nice stay
Had a nice 2 night stay. Comfy beds, nice lake view, convenient location to the Dunes. The man at the front desk was very nice. The hotel seems to be in the process of being updated, our room seemed like it had been recently renovated. The halls are a little dingy which was fine, but VERY warm. The a/c in the room was great tho.
