The room is dated and poorly maintained with wall paper peeling, broken laminate, holes in the walls, chipped doors and a towel bar falling pulling out of the wall. Room was musty and smelled pretty bad. There was no staff at the front desk for 15 minutes upon arrival though I had confirmed my late arrival time earlier when they called. Very overpriced for the quality and amenities being provided.

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.
