Location

Building needs repair and good paint by professionals.

Low rates for the area, which is close to Indiana Dunes and Gary. There are some places to eat and drink very nearby. The hotel gives a nice first impression despite being very run-down: beds and furniture look great and the staff is very assuring that problems and shortcomings are being addressed.

The rooms I saw had doors which didn't shut without force. Deceptions I found included a neatly made bed with unwashed sheets, a bathroom that clearly hadn't been cleaned in quite some time (the rest of the room was fine), and a number of other red flags suggesting deliberate staff shenanigans. The night manager repeatedly promised to take care of problems in a certain time frame and then completely forgot to do anything. The day manager was supposed to have been informed of the problems but wasn't. Rooms are barely and unequally furnished.
