"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

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."
