“I will not stay here again. The floor smelled of cigarette smoke, despite it being non-smoking (room did not smell, however), the coffee machine at breakfast was broken both mornings we were there and the pool looked gross.”

“Staff was friendly and super helpful. We forgot a charger in the room and the cleaning staff turned it in to the lobby so we could pick it up. Room was clean and updated. We only stayed one night. We will stay again if we go that way.”

Room was big had a mix of old things with modern things. The hotel itself looked old. Average hotel breakfast. My biggest complaint is that in the entire time we were there not one staff member smiled at us and in fact the ones we did interact with were very short and had a “leave me alone” attitude not the quality I’d expect from a Hampton but not the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Good proximity to Indiana dunes national park.

This hotel is average at best. We had to find a last minute room and this was close to a wedding we were attending. The room was $250.00 for 1 night with 2 queen beds. There was paint peeling in the bathroom, no microwave, and the air conditioner wasn't very cool AT ALL. We went to look at the pool and it was small and the water was cold. And no hot tub! The only fairly positive experience was the breakfast was decent. It wasn't worth $250.00 though!!! Not even close. I've stayed in nicer hotels with more amenities for $95.00 a night. Very disappointed.

The staff and accommodations were absolutely horrible. Do not trust your personal belongings to be alone in any room of that hotel with the caliber of lying, untrustworthy thieves that work there...
