The only issue was it just wasn’t clean. Bug splatters on the wall. Dirty blankets. Carpet stains. The area was quiet. Beautiful view. Lady at the check in counter was very friendly and helpful.

Room was updated and spacious except the bathroom which was dirty, old, and moldy. Coffee maker was filthy. Nice view of the lake with balcony. It has a lot of potential

The lake view was nice, area was peaceful. You can hear the trains and the interstate, and there were some small maintenance issues. Overall a relaxing stay with a comfortable bed.

Hotel is beautiful, and we had a lovely view of the wildlife on the lake. Everything smells like weed though.

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.
