18. Staybridge Suites Merrillville by IHG

"This is one of the best hotels I’ve been to in Merrillville. I used to stay in Merrillville when I’d come home to visit Gary. The quality of a lot of the other hotels in the area made me choose other areas like Portage or Hammond, but this hotel will definitely be a viable option if I choose not to commute further. Clean property, dope room. Very spacious. My only complaint is that the remote was not compatible with the television so I couldn’t use it."

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely, cozy, different experience. Can’t wait to do it again!"

Baymont by Wyndham Portage Indiana Dunes

10/10 Excellent

"U"

Spring House Inn

8/10 Good

"Unique older hotel in the area of Indiana Dunes NP. The facility has been around for a while...age shows but the bones are good. Modernization would ruin the ambiance! Rooms are huge, clean, and functional. However, they are dimly lit and dated. The hotel is filled with antiques and live plants...a rarity...but they burn candles to mask musty odors...I assume...as there was an odd odor the first day we arrived. Breakfast was the usual hotel fix it your self breakfast. Nothing special but good for included. Parking area could use some sprucing up. I would stay again if in the area."
