Indulge childhood fantasies at Santa's Candy Castle before exploring the Santa Claus Museum & Village for a dose of Christmas history.

We loved our stay here! The location of the hotel is beautiful, situated between a river with a working mill on one side and a train on the other. The train never disturbed our stay, but the location was ideal. We loved walking around downtown and the easy access to restaurants. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and modern. Everything was updated and everything about our stay was convenient and easy. We loved staying here!

stayed here the night before going to Holiday World. It was about a half hour away, but worth it and a very straightforward drive. Pool was comfortable temp and clean. The hot tub water level was low but the staff addressed the problem right away. Beds very comfortable and rooms spacy. The staff was really nice and responsive. Hotel was clean and newer. There is a restaurant/ bar right out front. Easy access to the local town yet quiet and rural at the same time. Breakfast was very good....
