Clean room, loved the balcony & watching sunset over the pond! The deck chairs were outdated, partially broken and sit too low- so the deck railing blocks the view from the second floor if you sit in them. Staff worked hard and were very friendly! The pool was perfect for our 4 & 11yo, the sauna was a nice addition but the seat needs fixed in it. We found the BEST hidden gem restaurant- a drive in restaurant called The Port- homemade root beer, HUGE menu, and SO nostalgic! The root beer and food were delicious with large portions! We loved how close we were to the sand dunes and Lake Michigan!

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.

Its a nice little hotel not too far from the Dunes. The breakfast is ok, nothing to write home about. But there are a number of fast food and small restaurants very close to the property. We would stay here again if we were coming back to the area.
