Premium Price Tag & Underwhelming Grub

Fourwinds Lakeside Inn & Marina certainly looks the part. The location on the lake is stunning, and the potential for a relaxing getaway is definitely there. However, a few key issues held it back from being the truly great experience I was hoping for. Firstly, let's talk about the elephant in the room: the price. The rooms, while comfortably sized and generally clean, are definitely on the expensive side for what you get. You're paying a premium for the lakeside location, no doubt, but I'm not sure it's entirely justified. I've stayed in comparable rooms with better amenities for less. Keep an eye out for deals and promotions, or be prepared to shell out a bit more than you might expect. Secondly, and perhaps more disappointingly, the on-site dining was a letdown. I was hoping to enjoy a leisurely lakeside dinner, but the restaurant fell short. The menu felt overpriced and unimaginative, and the food itself was just… okay. Nothing particularly bad, but certainly nothing memorable. I'd recommend venturing off-site for better options. On the plus side, the location really is lovely, and the potential for watersports and relaxation is high. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. But ultimately, the high price point and lackluster restaurant kept this from being a truly stellar experience. Fourwinds has the potential to be great, but needs to address these issues to truly shine. Recommended with reservations.

Rated better than it should have been

This is a fairly old facility, but generally well-kept. The long, dimly lit hallways with dark, ornamental oak door frames lent an air of American Horror Movie and The Shining. Still, the room was comfortable and clean (though the carpets were dark and I wasn't too comfortable walking on them with bare feet.) I was also surprised they didn't have an alarm clock in the room. Finally, the breakfast situation was pretty sparce (juice machine broken, no creamer for the coffee.) But for the price, I'd do it again.

Great stay sub par breakfast.

The start was really good and service extremely friendly and helpful. The pool is great, like a lagoon spa. The breakfast was terrible, only bagels and cereal. Great of the beaten path hotel good value.

Swim at Own Risk

Pool lighting free floating in pool attached by wire, debris all over the bottom likely from leaking roof. I told the person at the front desk and was waved off and told it wouldn't electrocute me. Neither TV in the fitness room had any channels. Bed was comfy, only redeeming quality to the aging relic of a hotel. Also no charging places for USB cords to plug directly into. It was dirty, crayon or eyeliner on the mirror in the bathroom, dirty floors, Unsure if it was even cleaned at all.

I arrived to check in only to be told that EXPEDIA cancelled the reservation I had made on October 15. It was cancelled on October 23 by EXPEDIA. So I arrive on November 8 about 8:00 with guests to arrive shortly later. From out of town, no more rooms available. So I drive another 1.5 hours home just so I could rest to only drive back to my event where I was before reservation cancelled. So I look at my records, no refund or correspondence saying my room was cancelled. Actually have survey asking me how my stay was!!!! lol…. Now the journey to try and contact EXPEDIA for my refund and see what the problem is. Still showing room fee taken out, no refund and it’s been over 2 weeks since this “ghostly” cancellation. Absolutely horrible experience which impacted 4 travellers

Pleasantly surprised.

The room was very clean, as were all parts of the facility that we saw. The room construction is dated, so there are not many outlets for charging or plugging in. Overall, very nice and a great value. It’s a 30 minute drive from the center of the IU campus at night ending in country roads.

A Perfect Stay

I booked this stay for my son's birthday. At check-in, the staff wished him a happy birthday. He couldn't get over how beautiful the area was and how perfect the hotel was. He is looking forward to going back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the lake.

The room definitely needs an update and the soundproofing isn't great. It was fine for a place to sleep. Unfortunately, something in the room made my allergies absolutely miserable and I could barely breathe in the morning. Bring Benadryl or an air purifier if you have allergies.
