We had such an amazing stay here. Our daughter loved the option of having an indoor and outdoor pool. The front lobby is decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. The breakfast was delicious and we liked how it was served until 10 am. Can't wait to stay here in the future !

Loved the stay here! Perfect place to stay the night after a full day of holiday world. My only concern was the discovery of a spider in our towels, but that’s all! Very outdated, but it adds a charm to the place.

The property is definitely old. They need new pillows. I thought we were supposed to have a refrigerator and microwave but we didn't. We also saw a mouse in the room. The only good thing is it close to area attractions.

My son is 11 and LOVES to fish! And swim! The pond is great!!! The two pools makes enough room for everyone. It was a fabulous place to stay with entertainment right there. And the entire staff is so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back!! Next time with the older ones and grandkids. Loved it

Lovely quirky motel, lovely Santa themed lobby. Rooms were a decent size. Great location next to theme park within walkable distance. Not much in the way of restaurants nearby for an evening meal. Wanted to go into diner opposite but didn’t arrive until 8.20 so was told too late for sit down meal. Also wanted to visit Santas workshop shop afterwards but didn’t open till 11 which seemed a bit late. Breakfast in hotel was great with lots of variety available. Was a lovely hotel just a bit of a shame that local area was not well set up for tourist trade generated by theme park

Washer/dryers in working condition and available 24 hours. The staff was courteous. The place itself is outdated. I would not say 20-30 year furniture is/feels clean. Visibly the room was clean but the old rug and furniture feel and smell stale. The breakfast was good but the large food trays were not covered and there were a few flies.

Excellent as always. An affordable and comfortable room right next to Holiday World. It's nothing fancy, the pool is a bit small, and the property is aging. But everything works and I sleep like a baby. And on top of all that the high season breakfast is decent.

The property is dated which accounts for part of its charm, I could see this from the images before I arrived. I chose Santa’s lodge for it’s location and that it was Christmas themed.

This place is a hidden gem. Nothing fancy, limited amenities, and the off-season breakfast is basically just waffles and muffins. But it's clean, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and the amusement park is right there. And Fat Santa's Pizza is next door and pretty good. Food service is kinda slow, but the solution to that is to order a pitcher of beer to drink while you wait, lol.
