Lakeside treat

Great hotel… clean, quiet and friendly staff. Our room had a balcony that was right on the lake with a relaxing view.

The location and surrounding area is really nice. The beds were not very comfortable though—maybe the king size bed would have been better. Walkable to several restaurants—and Chesterton always has nice food in general.

Nice stay

Had a nice 2 night stay. Comfy beds, nice lake view, convenient location to the Dunes. The man at the front desk was very nice. The hotel seems to be in the process of being updated, our room seemed like it had been recently renovated. The halls are a little dingy which was fine, but VERY warm. The a/c in the room was great tho.

Unstaffed at night. Had tornado warning and guests were left to improvise safety protocol with no electricity. Very chaotic, some guests hid in bathroom on main floor because of smaller windows, we stayed in room in dark. Front desk unapologetic about the situation. Would not stay again.
