Beautiful views. Large rooms with comfortable beds. Reasonable rates and friendly staff. Needs some updates here and there, but overall, a nice place to stay. No continental breakfast, but maybe a nice big pot of fresh coffee would of been appreciated rather than the little weak brew they have in the room. Dunkin was across the street, so we didn't have to go far for a fix. LOL

Just love this place! My son and I have stayed at this hotel 5-6 times over the past four years on our way to and from Des Moines. There are so many reasons we keep coming back. Convenient location, wonderful, attentive and friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, good heat and AC, safe and quiet area. Lots of places to eat with many locally owned. We especially love the lake outside the property with all the geese. Beautiful and relaxing place and my son and I highly recommend staying here.

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.
