Santas Lodge and Resort

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

Cute! Older hotel but so worth a stay, the elves in the lobby transport you to a time of yesteryear, my kids (15 and 11) loved it.

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.

Always a nice place to stay. Getting a little pricey to me but nice.

I love the christmas theme

The hotel is adequate. It’s older and dingy. Breakfast is chaotic

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 The place itself is outdated.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.

I would say that the reviews on Expedia for this place were totally misleading. I was expecting cabin/rustic, but clean based on the reviews. The people working there are nice and welcoming, but our room left a lot to be desired. I understand the rustic look they are going for, but the bathroom tub, toilet and sink were dirty. Bathroom was soiled, tub had hair in it. Sink had brown stains from makeup, someone’s hair sticking on the hair dryer. Also, there was some sort of chemical rubber like smell coming from the bathroom that was unbearable. They charge big city prices - we paid over $600 for two nights. The idea of the lodge is pretty nice, but this place is just not maintained or cleaned well. We will try another place next time we visit Holiday World.

Our grandkids loved it Had a wonderful trip

It was close to Holiday World which made it convenient. However, it was disappointing that we had one soap for the sink, that we had to share in the shower. No lid for the toilet set close to the tub was awkward. We booked a room for 3, 2 children and 1 adult, yet only 2 bath towels were provided. The smart TV was a challenge. We couldnt get it to connect initially. We spoke with the front desk who tried to help, but basically told us the wifi wasnt good in this town. We did eventually figure out how to connect to wifi...overall, it was an average experience.
