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 The hotel is a little outdated but it was very clean!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!

Very nice weekend
Very nice place. I assume at one time this place was hopping! Just not the same vibe as in the good ole days when people were nicer to each other and they celebrated family more. We had a very good time! Thank you

Check-in was fast and the girl at the desk was very friendly. The decor is charming and my kids enjoyed all of the Christmas decorations. Room was very clean and the beds are comfortable. We weren’t in the room very much because we were at Holiday World but we would definitely stay here again.

We liked this location and will stay here again. The staff was great. The breakfast was good and we were there at the end.
We will bring our own towels next time though because these were thin, rough and not absorbent.
Beds were old but comfortable and clean.

Room door would not shut all the way. We could see the hallway lights from our room. Smashed cereal down the hallways. Overall just really outdated and way tooo much $ for the conditions. Bed linens were very stained. Location to holiday world was great but nothing else was appealing.
