DOUGLAS, Savage

This hotel is not ready to be open. This looks like another Wyndham property that is refurbished as a budget hotel. Lots of things not ready yet. Elevator out of order, ice machine (first floor) out of order, ice machine (second floor) so dirty, I didn't wouldn't take ice. Room furniture very old, desk chair broken, hallway light burned out making it very dark. Breakfast was subpar, even for a budget hotel. Constuction material still in various places. Parking lot area overgrown. The saving grace was the room and bed were clean. Stayed Oct 4 - 5 2025

Run away from the Horward Johnson of Merrillville

The worst place ever. It was run down with furniture that looked like it came from a thrift store, the locks were broke hallways smelled. The vending machines were broken. The ceilings were missing tiles and had wires hanging from them. I didn’t even stay I left after 15 of being in the room.

The property was rundown. Our bathroom had 1/2 used bottles of shampoo and lotion. Only 1/2 of the pool was open and no pool towels available. We did not feel safe and ended up leaving and staying with family nearby even though our stay was non-refundable. Would not recommend this hotel even for the low price. I have stayed at many Wyndham hotels but this hotel was nothing like other Wyndham hotels.

regret staying here. changed the mood

Property is in bad state overrall. I failed to read the comments before booking, was in a hurry. Broken toilet set. broken towel rack. Dirty counter, sink, nightstand. Needed vacuuming. Breakfast so-so. Fire alarm went off at 1:31 AM. Fire dept came out. probably sprinkler system issue. I was concerned about carbon monoxide therefore did not sleep more. Sleep and never wake up.

Dirty scamming hotel

The place looks nothing like in the pictures. When we arrived the first thing we noticed was the trash in a corner of the hotel outside. It looks old and run down. As we were walking to our room there was mold on the walls white powder on the carpet and trash in bags in hallways. When we finally got to out room it was no different, the beds didn’t even have comforters stains everywhere the bed skirts were too big for the bed so they were overhanging torn and ripped, the fridge was so dirty inside and out. The ac barely worked and it looked to have mold inside. Breakfast in the morning was trash and in very little quantities. We only stayed one night. 3 weeks after staying there I checked my credit card statement and they actually charged me $82 extra for the one night stay aside from the $120 I paid for the room on hotels.com I tried calling the manager for a whole week and they would either hang up the phone on me or deny him till I finally spoke to him and was of no help. I still don’t understand why if I paid $120 on hotels for the one night stay the hotel would charge me an extra $82 for that single night. I contacted customer service and they were able to refund me my money. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone!

DO NOT STAY HERE

This hotel looks like it was abandoned for a significant amount of time. The pictures you see are not true images of the property. Our room was dusty, and did not feel safe for me or my child. From the outside several windows were broken, overgrowth and trash. I am disappointed that Hotels.com would carry a property like this as an option because it looks inhabitable. To make it worse management has a sign saying request refunds through your booking agency but then deny the refund. I have never seen anything like this type of poorly managed property before.

Horrible, apocalyptic setting.

The outside of the building looks apocalyptic. Weeds overgrown, people obviously high out of their minds wandering around. Industrial fans blowing in a very warm building. The pool was half covered by a tarp. The inside felt like it hadn't been updated in about 20 years. Broken furniture littered the hallways. The room was dirty, the hallways leading to the room was dirty. The aircon didn't work anywhere in the buliding.
