Great place to stay! Right across from an outlet mall and a short drive to Indiana Dunes National Park. Very clean and SUPER responsive! It is on a busier street so there is some glass outside so be careful with your pups!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2024
Overall great location and property. Tried calling and emailing as had a couple simple questions before check in and got into town early but never got response. Wanted to get in early if possible as traveling with 2 small children but didnt get a response. Door code just worked at the allotted time which was okay but frustrating that got no response. Not enough paper supplies for just a 4 day stay there and had to buy large more than wanted from local store. Setting up television with some sort of network or local TV would have been nice- traveling with small children so was not going out at night to watch something at a bar. It was a smart TV but only set up with a few apps. just a small antenna would have worked. Had this info been provided, I could have brought an antenna or roku/.
