The location is ideal for going to Indiana Dunes National Park. The hotel is clean and the cooked breakfast is good. We also did laundry here, and that worked out well for us on our road trip. The front desk staff was amazing, especially Rolanda and Naomi! They were so cheerful and bubbly and greeted us with big smiles every time we saw them! We would definitely stay here again.

Good area that's easy to access and close enough to groceries, fuel and restaurants. Newer building and the lobby was clean and nice. The hallways were very clean and the room was great--comfortable beds, plenty of good pillows and a clean, bright bathroom. Typical hotel breakfast, but it was good with many options and everything was clean. Definitely would recommend this to friends and family who needed to stay in the area.
