Beautiful views. Large rooms with comfortable beds. Reasonable rates and friendly staff. Needs some updates here and there, but overall, a nice place to stay. No continental breakfast, but maybe a nice big pot of fresh coffee would of been appreciated rather than the little weak brew they have in the room. Dunkin was across the street, so we didn't have to go far for a fix. LOL

Just love this place! My son and I have stayed at this hotel 5-6 times over the past four years on our way to and from Des Moines. There are so many reasons we keep coming back. Convenient location, wonderful, attentive and friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, good heat and AC, safe and quiet area. Lots of places to eat with many locally owned. We especially love the lake outside the property with all the geese. Beautiful and relaxing place and my son and I highly recommend staying here.

Great hotel… clean, quiet and friendly staff. Our room had a balcony that was right on the lake with a relaxing 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.

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.

Unstaffed at night. Had tornado warning and guests were left to improvise safety protocol with no electricity. Very chaotic, some guests hid in bathroom on main floor because of smaller windows, we stayed in room in dark. Front desk unapologetic about the situation. Would not stay again.

The property is very old and in disrepair. There was garbage on the floor of the hallway. The balconies feel unsafe as if they are rotting. The door to my balcony did not lock. The lake smells very bad, which is no one’s fault but you might not want to sit on that sketchy balcony. The worst part is the service because you need to use a phone on the wall to call for someone to come to the lobby. Oat check in and check out I was waiting for more than half an hour with no one answering. I finally just left. Not the person on duty’s fault necessarily but poor policy and worth considering if you are traveling alone or are in a rush.

Views from the room and balcony were awesome. Room was clean. We had a quiet and restful night. Seems to be quite a few maintenance items that need to be addressed

Do yourself a favor and stay ANYWHERE but here!! The bed was the worst we’ve ever slept on at a hotel (and we travel pretty often)…the bathroom was old and tired and didn’t feel clean …hallways felt the same. There were people grilling in the parking lot …I don’t think I need to go on.

Once inside the room, things were fine. The exterior of the hotel needs attention, like repairing broken windows and paint. Inside the hallways were not air conditioned and carpet needing replacement.
