My son and I have stayed here or the adjacent hotel, Waterbird, on our ur way to and from Des Moines for the past four years and there is a reason we keep coming back. The place is great! The staff is always courteous and prompt at check in and the accommodations are super comfortable. We highly recommend for your stay in Chesterton.
I wanted a patio because of knee problems no one confirmed so i had to walk upstairs then i fell out the chair on the patio supposed to be a relaxing weekend turned into a nightmare

Its a nice little hotel not too far from the Dunes. The breakfast is ok, nothing to write home about. But there are a number of fast food and small restaurants very close to the property. We would stay here again if we were coming back to the area.

Very lovely place to stay. The lake is very pretty with lots of wildlife. Although the hotel is older, it is very quaint. It is also very quiet, the staff were very pleasant and helpful, and the room and bathroom were so very nice. I’d definitely stay here again.
Right near the interstate & not far from Indiana Dunes & food choices. Not cheap however, I’d say it’s a $30 cheaper accommodation. Gorgeous views of the lake the property sits on. Large rooms, no elevators though & very wide hallways. Only found 1 ice machine but these are things I just noticed & had little to no effect on our stay. Pleasant staff. Breakfast area was a bit rundown - I had no issues with the food choices. Didn’t get a chance to use the indoor pool.

Glad it was only 1 night
The staff were very kind and hard working. Our hotel room faced the parking lot. I have seen the lake facing rooms and those are nicer. We were on the bottom floor, the air conditioner was not in working order. It turned off and on randomly, no fan to drown out noise from upstairs. It was very difficult to sleep. The front desk staff apologized, but they had a full hotel and no box fans. The breakfast was great with many options. Pool was good temperature but some pipes seemed held together by duct tape. It was not very clean.
This place is truly a hidden gem!! I was passing through with my daughter and just needed a safe not expensive comfortable place to stay for the night. I saw this place online and thought it had to be too good to be true. I was so relieved after getting here after a long day of driving. I wish we had more time to actually enjoy this lovely hotel! We will definitely return in our next trip back! So charming and beautiful!

We loved the lake view and watching all the birds. The room was not super clean but clean enough (there was someone else's dirty clothes on the floor when we first arrived - which makes me wonder if the floors were cleaned). We slept good (little noise other than train in distance) and the bed was comfortable. Super close to Indiana Dunes National & State Park. Several close food, Walgreens, etc within walking distance. Breakfast was good (waffles, eggs, sausage, bananas/apples, muffins, etc). Our daughter enjoyed the indoor pool.

When i checked in the front desk staff was outside sitting on the curb smoking a cigarette. I waited about 3 minutes until she finished and came in to check me in. Her attitude and demenor were at best obnoxious.
Was close to the National Park. Rooms are what you’d expect. Pillows could have been better. Water pressure decent and the breakfast at least didn’t have the powdered eggs that a lot of places put out. Decent value for a place to crash after hiking the Dunes.
