Porter County accommodation from NZ$86

Staff

One of the best stay we ever had. Amazing view of Michigan Lake and Chicago Skyline. Place was very clean and well maintained, easy parking and host is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again in Summer.

This was easily one of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever survived. Check-in started strong with after waiting 30+ min staff telling me I didn’t even have a reservation of the room with garden tub (shoutout to Expedia for apparently having imaginary photos of rooms). After settling, we got a room that smelled like a mix of gas station weed and straight-up farts. Amenities? Questionable. The hot tub had commitment issues (half the jets didn’t work), and the “heated” pool felt like an ice bath training session. The thermostat in the room was broken, so we got to enjoy a full-on sauna experience all night—paired nicely with highway noise loud enough to simulate sleeping on the shoulder. Then came the 1:30 AM fire alarm. We all marched down three flights of stairs and stood around for 20 minutes with zero staff in sight. Turns out someone’s vape caught fire… which we learned from the person responsible in the elevator later. Reassuring. Breakfast was the final boss: broken cereal dispenser, coffee that tasted aggressively like hazelnut regret, and warm yogurt (??). Honestly, I would’ve felt safer and more comfortable sleeping in my car. 0/10, would not return.
