This Best Western hotel, though a bit older, is worth a stay for others. The desk clerk made us feel welcomed. Our family of four had a standard room with the usual hotel amenities. The room was clean and had a cozy nook where we could step outside to enjoy the water and the geese. The hotel is conveniently located near the Indiana Dunes Welcome Center, making it an ideal spot for visitors. If we return, this is definitely where we’d stay again.

The breakfast was ample, with plenty of hot and cold options. The pool was fine, and the sauna was an added benefit. I wasn't expecting to do birdwatching from the motel, but it is on a small lake, and there were egrets and lots of other birds very nearby. The shower was easily accessible (my husband uses a wheelchair).
