Great location - very close to Indiana Dunes NP. Awesome breakfast and lots of parking spots available. Lake view rooms. Hotel condition is pretty rundown - the chair in our room was in tatters. But overall, an overnight stay works!

My son and I have stayed here or the adjacent hotel, Waterbird, on our ur way to and from Des Moines for the past four years and there is a reason we keep coming back. The place is great! The staff is always courteous and prompt at check in and the accommodations are super comfortable. We highly recommend for your stay in Chesterton.

Very lovely place to stay. The lake is very pretty with lots of wildlife. Although the hotel is older, it is very quaint. It is also very quiet, the staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the room and bathroom were so very nice. I’d definitely stay here again.

Very good for Indiana dunes but pricey.

Right near the interstate & not far from Indiana Dunes & food choices. Not cheap however, I’d say it’s a $30 cheaper accommodation. Gorgeous views of the lake the property sits on. Large rooms, no elevators though & very wide hallways. Only found 1 ice machine but these are things I just noticed & had little to no effect on our stay. Pleasant staff. Breakfast area was a bit rundown - I had no issues with the food choices. Didn’t get a chance to use the indoor pool.

Glad it was only 1 night

The staff were very kind and hard working. Our hotel room faced the parking lot. I have seen the lake facing rooms and those are nicer. We were on the bottom floor, the air conditioner was not in working order. It turned off and on randomly, no fan to drown out noise from upstairs. It was very difficult to sleep. The front desk staff apologized, but they had a full hotel and no box fans. The breakfast was great with many options. Pool was good temperature but some pipes seemed held together by duct tape. It was not very clean.

Hidden Gem!

This place is truly a hidden gem!! I was passing through with my daughter and just needed a safe not expensive comfortable place to stay for the night. I saw this place online and thought it had to be too good to be true. I was so relieved after getting here after a long day of driving. I wish we had more time to actually enjoy this lovely hotel! We will definitely return in our next trip back! So charming and beautiful!

We loved the lake view and watching all the birds. The room was not super clean but clean enough (there was someone else's dirty clothes on the floor when we first arrived - which makes me wonder if the floors were cleaned). We slept good (little noise other than train in distance) and the bed was comfortable. Super close to Indiana Dunes National & State Park. Several close food, Walgreens, etc within walking distance. Breakfast was good (waffles, eggs, sausage, bananas/apples, muffins, etc). Our daughter enjoyed the indoor pool.
