Best Western Indian Oak

8/10 Good

"Everything was solid for the price. Comfortable and decent, with a nice view close to the Dunes."

Furness Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice, clean, and close to the Indiana Dunes. We could not hear other guests in their rooms,which was nice. However, the property is close to a highway and train tracks. The yard needs some upkeep (there was a pile of storage boxes that looked like they'd been outside a while and also a septic or cistern cover that needed repair."
