Rooms are clean and great customer care service.

10/10 Exceptional

This was such a great place to stay! It was clean, a short drive to Holiday World, and was exactly what we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the indoor pool and the breakfast was delicious. The vending machines being right by our room was a major plus! We will definitely plan to stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Old smelling but clean room

Pool and Hot tub os older and had alot of skin floating in hot tub...but was very busy. The hallways and hotel had an old smell like an old building. However, everyone was super nice and helpful. The room was clean but just out dated and old smelling.

My son is 11 and LOVES to fish! And swim! The pond is great!!! The two pools makes enough room for everyone. It was a fabulous place to stay with entertainment right there. And the entire staff is so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!! Next time with the older ones and grandkids. Loved it

Its okay

It is a nice place to stay for an overnight trip to holiday world. The property is pretty but needs some maintenance. The christmas theme is cute. The pizza place next door is cool too.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent as always. An affordable and comfortable room right next to Holiday World. It's nothing fancy, the pool is a bit small, and the property is aging. But everything works and I sleep like a baby. And on top of all that the high season breakfast is decent.
Ryan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay

This is a great hotel! Yeah, it’s old but I hope they never change it! It has a great feel to it. It’s clean! Has a nice indoor and outdoor pool and hot tub. The breakfast each morning tasted great and had a huge selection! Biscuits, gravy, sausage, eggs, lots of different cereals, yogurts, muffins, waffles, etc. we’ll be back! This is a clean, convenient and comfortable hotel!

Cool vintage feel

We truly enjoyed our stay here! The hotel is a little outdated but it was very clean! My kids loved the pool and hot tub! The Santa theme is perfect! This is a huge building too! I was amazed at how they can keep up with it. The breakfast was just waffles, cereal and toast but it suited us just fine, for the price it was great!
DEREK, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I liked the Christmas theme but it was not made clear that in order to get a microwave and refrigerator you had to do the deluxe. We had to move to another room. It was a little outdated and the shower was only warm and very hot.

Great location, very cute outside and in the lobby. Rooms a little outdated. Would stay again!

Stormie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice place for traveling with kids. Christmas motif all year is fun. Xmas theme park maybe a mile away. Paved bike path across the street. Facility was kinda dated, beds average, no micro or fridge in room, but clean. The one attendant was very friendly and bubbly. Pizza place across the parking lot, but not a lot of other restaurant options in the area. Everything in town has a Santa motif.

Great people, homely, no gym, pool needs updates

We loved the staff! They were amazing! The atmosphere was very homely. Our room was so hot, and we had one towel in our room (thebdesk was graat about more). Our bathtub was dirty with the previous persons hair-- major disgust on that note. There was not gym which was a super bummer but my fault for not checking. The pool area is horrible-it was peeling up horrribly and frankly just not clean-I passed on using the hot tub due to this. It definately needs some updates and we will likely try another stay for our next adventure!
Ashley Rose, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Fine stay but would not come back

Staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel lobby had a cozy feel but the rooms were pretty bare bones. It was an ok stay, breakfast and room amenities would be what you would expect from a motel. Low rating for a few reasons: Mainly due to the quality of sleep. Chip bags have more filling than the pillows provided, the staff did give us extra pillows which was great but needed like 3 to feel like one normal pillow. The bed was old and firm, the topper they had on the bed helped a little but was tossing all night and felt achy in the morning. Definitely not a restful sleep. Nothing against the hotel but if you are a light sleeper bring earplugs. Parents will let their spawn run down the halls screaming and play with the room phones and call your room. I travel A LOT. Never in my life have i had my room phone called. This happened every night and morning we stayed. The phone in the room is also ancient so the ringer is loud as hell. Scared us out of sleep the first night it happened. Hotel is also either dusty or musty, both me and my partner have allergies and they were acting up our entire stay. Overall the lodge needs some massive updates to justify the cost of the stay.
