Old smelling but clean room

Pool and Hot tub os older and had alot of skin floating in hot tub...but was very busy. The hallways and hotel had an old smell like an old building. However, everyone was super nice and helpful. The room was clean but just out dated and old smelling.

The beds in the family suites were small, full size. Made sleeping with my husband crowded. We are used to a King size bed. The pool and hot tub were nice. The water wasn't cold and pretty clean. The breakfast was great too.

Fine stay but would not come back

Staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel lobby had a cozy feel but the rooms were pretty bare bones. It was an ok stay, breakfast and room amenities would be what you would expect from a motel. Low rating for a few reasons: Mainly due to the quality of sleep. Chip bags have more filling than the pillows provided, the staff did give us extra pillows which was great but needed like 3 to feel like one normal pillow. The bed was old and firm, the topper they had on the bed helped a little but was tossing all night and felt achy in the morning. Definitely not a restful sleep. Nothing against the hotel but if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. Parents will let their spawn run down the halls screaming and play with the room phones and call your room. I travel A LOT. Never in my life have i had my room phone called. This happened every night and morning we stayed. The phone in the room is also ancient so the ringer is loud as hell. Scared us out of sleep the first night it happened. Hotel is also either dusty or musty, both me and my partner have allergies and they were acting up our entire stay. Overall the lodge needs some massive updates to justify the cost of the stay.

This was such a great place to stay! It was clean, a short drive to Holiday World, and was exactly what we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the indoor pool and the breakfast was delicious. The vending machines being right by our room was a major plus! We will definitely plan to stay here again the next time we are in the area.

There were parties in the parking lot, people grilling out at the back of their cars because they said they spent too much money at holiday world. They had a grill loud music everything when I went to the front desk, they said they would have the manager talk with me, but the manager never appeared even the next morning when I checked out, they said the manager would call me and that never happened. The invoice I received from the hotel was $202 per night, but I was charged over $500 through Expedia. I’m not very happy I have pictures.

This was the 3rd and last time we stay here. The prices have reached the point where the convenience isn't worth it. We can stay a few minutes a way in a nicer hotel at the same price point. This place is huge. With a lot of potential. But it is run down and the common areas are not maintained and the room needs cleaned and also upgrades.
