The extreme humidity has created mildew issues and the carpets are heavily scented to stop the smell. We had to leave to feel better after the 1st night and then upon returning, it seemed better.

Easy check in although there is no early check in option but the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast has an adequate selection but all of the egg and sausage options offered were cold at 7 am when the breakfast opened so we had to heat that up in our room’s microwave because there isn’t a microwave in the dining area. Otherwise, great location and there’s a small pizza place/bar right in the same complex. I would stay here again.

There were many things about this property that I liked. It’s charming on the outside and the indoor pool is a great feature. After a long day hiking, and then driving, the last thing I wanted to have to deal with was incompetency at the front desk. The young man was extremely pleasant and engaged me in conversation. He was also knowledgeable of the property and provided me with essential information. Unfortunately, he also informed me my credit card was declined. After spending time on the phone with my bank, it was determined my card was fine and the problem came probably from improper input of the numbers. I never thought to ask to have him run the card again because I was so tired, but that was not a pleasant way to start our stay. The whirlpool in our room was lovely. The refrigerator was nice and cold upon arrival and there were plenty of places to put our hiking gear. The breakfast was adequate. We were happy we got up early to eat before the crowds arrived. The waffle maker takes quite some time! I would definitely stay here again and this time would make use of the pool!

Good but not great.

The property is a little dated but otherwise pretty nice. My room had a musty smell to it. Probably due to the whirlpool in the bedroom which I didn’t even use. Not in a walkable area as it’s pretty remote but there’s an Uno’s Pizza next door. The check-in took a while as only one person was working the front desk and many showed up at once. Overall it was good but not great.

We enjoyed our stay at Spring House Inn. It reminded us of staying in a state park lodge. It is on a large property with a creek, lots of trees, plenty of parking. Our room was large, clean, and quiet. Breakfast offerings included eggs, sausage, waffles, and yogurt. The hotel is very convenient for a visit to near-by Indiana Dunes National Park (visitor center is about a 6 minute drive). We would stay again. In terms of feeling safe and nearness to the park, the surrounding area is great. It is very residential. There is a pizza restaurant next door. No other shops or businesses in the surrounding blocks.

Property was very dated with a lack of TLC. The room had a musty smell, pictures used online must have been old. Paint pilling from the walls in the pool area.

The property itself was unique. Despite the decor being very dated, the property still seemed clean enough. The breakfast was at best ok. The pool had very cloudy water. I stayed for two nights and they do not refresh your towels which is fine, however I did ask for some clean wash cloths and the front desk would only give me clean ones if I brought him my dirty ones. I thought that was very strange. The location is good for visiting the Indiana Dunes. Overall it was just ok. Also FYI, there are no elevators so if you are staying here try to ask for a room on the main floor. They did accommodate that request
