- Antonio (10/5): di passaggio verso Indianapolis - Rapporto qualità prezzo,pulizia, camera spaziosa, comodità di parcheggio.
- Nico (8/5): - The lake view and large rooms. Online it says there’s a hot tub and there were no chairs outside like in the picture. Looks like some of it’s under construction.
- veronica (10/5): -
- Schylar (9/5): Good option for a stay near Indiana Dunes. - Loved the lake view. Pool was nice for kiddos! Carrying luggage upstairs and all the way down the hallway.
- Staupe (9/5): -

- CHRISTINE (8/5): Très joli cadre - L'emplacement au bord d'un lac, grande chambre Le sifflement du train (très fort) durant la nuit. Ils n'y peuvent rien mais quand on est pas habitué, c'est difficile de dormir.

- jill (10/5): Lake side - Lake view, some wildlife like birds and water fowl. Clean simple on the highway. Nothing can be done about it, but the sounds of nature were overbearing. Idk whether they were frogs or crickets or what all night long.

- Ranee (3/5): - The crew members were amazing and kind. The view from the balcony is gorgeous from the lakeside. The breakfast was not great. The eggs taste like powder. The only thing my children would eat was the muffins and waffles. There were water stains/damage on the ceilings. We were in a non-smoking room, but the person downstairs was a heavy smoker, which made our room smell constantly. We couldn't even enjoy the balcony because of the smoker downstairs. The pool area did not smell great, and it made me concerned about safety. The beds are very uncomfortable, and there were unidentified stains on the bedding and towels.
- Zoe (10/5): -
- Baker (10/5): Wonderful - Everyone was friendly it
Was nice and quiet.

- Marilyn (8/5): -

- D9302IVrosev (10/5): Dunes Getaway - My room was spacious and clean. The bed was so comfortable. Sauna in the pool area was such a relaxing treat. There is a great variety of food options close to the hotel. Convenient location for the Indiana Sand Dunes.
Indiana Gem

- Lance (9/5): -
- Beverly (10/5): Nice hotel with easy access to Indiana Dunes and highways - Excellent bedding and pillows. Balcony on lake. Good breakfast. Good heat and cooling control. Refrigerator and microwave. Good lighting. Excellent nearby restaurant choices. No elevator to second floor.
- Ingrid (10/5): We were very satisfied with our stay, and would return in future travels -
- Lesley (7/5): X - X X
- kristacK5186QM (2/5): Do not recommend this hotel - The phrase, putting lip stick on a pig comes to mind. The room, on the surface, looked nice but once you start looking around, there were stains on the lamp shades, Bible, and elsewhere around the room. The walls are paper thin. There was a large group of unsupervised football players yelling, slamming doors, and knocking on our door over and over through the night. In talking with the staff, they were not very accommodating. There are VERY ACTIVE train tracks you can hear throughout the night. Our entire family did not get a good nights sleep, to say the least. We requested a different room, were told none were available. Will never be staying at a Best Western ever again.
- Madolyn (7/5): Comfortable stay - Convenient location. No issues
- Chris (8/5): -
- Adam (7/5): -
- Sietske (6/5): - Als je je reuk en smaak kwijt bent en je geeft niet zoveel om locatie, dan is dit zeker een aanrader! Niet duur
- Evelyn (8/5): Great location, decent room and breakfast. Check pool before swimming to see if clean - Breakfast was satisfactory. Room was spacious, and patio was a very pleasant positive. Bed was comfortable. Front desk staff on entry was unhappy and told us that.
Otherwise staff did a great job, but staff should be coached not to say it's not a good job.
Pool was not good, water was cloudy.
- María Valverde (9/5): Muy bien - Vistas al lago
- Road418393 (10/5): Wonderful staff and location - Check in staff was so friendly, she made you feel welcomed and even offered to grab us some breakfast as we are not early birds. The room was comfortable and very convenient for unloading and loading since my husband is handicapped.
- vicki (10/5): - Clean room nice hotel
- Marsha (10/5): - Clean room, friendly, helpful staff, good location. Convienent to Indiana Dunes National Park.
- David (8/5): - ...
- Thomas (10/5): - Ac was great, room was spacious and comfortable, patio view was very nice, National and State Park near by, great restaurant selections and some within walking distance.
Rooms were clean, plenty of parking, and a very quiet area.
- Timothy (6/5): - The room was nice and spacious. The shower drain was clogged with hair and I had to remove it all myself
- Nichole (6/5): - I think the pillows were not comfortable at all. Also my room stated there was a bathtub but when i arrived there was a standup shower only.
- Eric (10/5): - Great
- Trina (10/5): amzing - The breakfast room was very clean, food was fresh, and view was of a lake. Staff was amazing room and facility was fresh and clean, View from room was beautiful.

- Maritza (8/5): - Great stay. Hotel could use a little update but aside from that the place has beautiful views at sunrise and Sunset

- Casey (8/5): - Loved the location on the lake. Close proximity to Indiana Dunes National Park. Quite a few restaurants nearby which was convenient. Right off the highway but couldn’t hear the traffic, which was optimal.
- Luis (10/5): - Breakfast was great, pool very clean. Rooms very clean. Everything very clean.
- Alicja (8/5): -
- Cody (6/5): - Stay was fine. AC didn’t get anywhere close to as cold as it said. Hotel is older.
- Vincent (10/5): - The hotel needs an elevator.
- Timothy (10/5): - Hotel great location close to Indiana Dunes. Clean, great staff and good breakfast.
- Kevin (8/5): - Everything was fine
- Stucker (10/5): -
- Jackie (10/5): - Clean, Friendly staff, nice area
- Dustin (10/5): - Nice clean hotel with grear service.
- Penny (8/5): - nice lake view outside bedroom
- Allison (8/5): - Clean room, loved the balcony & watching sunset over the pond! The deck chairs were outdated, partially broken and sit too low- so the deck railing blocks the view from the second floor if you sit in them. Staff worked hard and were very friendly!
The pool was perfect for our 4 & 11yo, the sauna was a nice addition but the seat needs fixed in it.
We found the BEST hidden gem restaurant- a drive in restaurant called The Port- homemade root beer, HUGE menu, and SO nostalgic! The root beer and food were delicious with large portions!
We loved how close we were to the sand dunes and Lake Michigan!
- Nataliia (9/5): - Amazing place.
- Danny (8/5): - Breakfast was ok. Location was convenient. Pool could have been warmer, pillows could have been better. Didn't have an elevator.
- Nilanjana (8/5): - Great location - very close to Indiana Dunes NP. Awesome breakfast and lots of parking spots available. Lake view rooms.
Hotel condition is pretty rundown - the chair in our room was in tatters.
But overall, an overnight stay works!
- Taralyn (10/5): - Great Lake view with balcony
- Toby (10/5): - Lake was great! Bring you pole!
- Kathy (8/5): - Really nice staff. Body wash container mounted in shower was almost empty. I didn’t discover that until I ran out during my shower.
- Terry (6/5): -
- Norma (8/5): - Breakfast was not good. Coffee was terrible. Juice was watered down. Eggs were tasteless.
- Theresa (10/5): - My son and I have stayed here or the adjacent hotel, Waterbird, on our ur way to and from Des Moines for the past four years and there is a reason we keep coming back. The place is great! The staff is always courteous and prompt at check in and the accommodations are super comfortable. We highly recommend for your stay in Chesterton.
- Shayleigh (9/5): -
- DeShawna (2/5): - I wanted a patio because of knee problems no one confirmed so i had to walk upstairs then i fell out the chair on the patio supposed to be a relaxing weekend turned into a nightmare
- Jens (8/5): OK, aber nur mäßiges Frühstück - Soweit ok. Man muss sich zwischen Seeblick oder Blick auf den Parkplatz entscheiden. Frühstück eher mäßig.
Unser Balkon hatte als einziger keine Stühle. Dies änderte sich auch nicht, obwohl wir das 2 x beanstandet haben.
- Harley (6/5): - Its a nice little hotel not too far from the Dunes. The breakfast is ok, nothing to write home about. But there are a number of fast food and small restaurants very close to the property. We would stay here again if we were coming back to the area.
- Dawn (6/5): -
