"Staff was super helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and the kitchen was good. However I booked a non smoking area room and signed a paper for that but unfortunately it smelled like cigarettes in my room. The couch had the smell and it was very strong all around not pleasant. There were fights in front of my door at night sometimes and someone did knock on my door at 2 am and left randomly making me feel unsafe."

Top Indiana Dunes Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Best Western Indian Oak

8/10 Good

"Room was very spacious and really appreciated all the storage and the large bathroom vanity. The patio with water view was a really nice feature. We heard lots of trains going by and thought we'd be bothered by them at night but with the sliding glass door closed we didn't hear anything. They were not able to serve the usual breakfast due to the recent storm but the receptionist was very apologetic and nice about it. Easy check in process and great location for I Diana Dunes National Park."

Hilton Garden Inn Chesterton

10/10 Excellent

"Experience was amazing from upon arrival to the hotel till our departure. We loved the fact it was dog friendly at this location. Definitely will stay again when we visit the Dunes."

Furness Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"We had a comfortable stay at the Furness Mansion. Very close to Indiana Dunes National Park and also nearby points of interest. The unit is spacious with free use of washer & dryer located at the entrance of the building. The only thing negative is the response time from the hosts. I sent a couple of messages and never received a response. My inquiries were not critical but a simple response would have been nice as a courtesy."
