It is a nice place to stay for an overnight trip to holiday world. The property is pretty but needs some maintenance. The christmas theme is cute. The pizza place next door is cool too.

Excellent as always. An affordable and comfortable room right next to Holiday World. It's nothing fancy, the pool is a bit small, and the property is aging. But everything works and I sleep like a baby. And on top of all that the high season breakfast is decent.

The property is definitely old. They need new pillows. I thought we were supposed to have a refrigerator and microwave but we didn't. We also saw a mouse in the room. The only good thing is it close to area attractions.

Great stay

This is a great hotel! Yeah, it’s old but I hope they never change it! It has a great feel to it. It’s clean! Has a nice indoor and outdoor pool and hot tub. The breakfast each morning tasted great and had a huge selection! Biscuits, gravy, sausage, eggs, lots of different cereals, yogurts, muffins, waffles, etc. we’ll be back! This is a clean, convenient and comfortable hotel!

Lovely quirky motel, lovely Santa themed lobby. Rooms were a decent size. Great location next to theme park within walkable distance. Not much in the way of restaurants nearby for an evening meal. Wanted to go into diner opposite but didn’t arrive until 8.20 so was told too late for sit down meal. Also wanted to visit Santas workshop shop afterwards but didn’t open till 11 which seemed a bit late. Breakfast in hotel was great with lots of variety available. Was a lovely hotel just a bit of a shame that local area was not well set up for tourist trade generated by theme park

Cool vintage feel

We truly enjoyed our stay here! The hotel is a little outdated but it was very clean! My kids loved the pool and hot tub! The Santa theme is perfect! This is a huge building too! I was amazed at how they can keep up with it. The breakfast was just waffles, cereal and toast but it suited us just fine, for the price it was great!

I liked the Christmas theme but it was not made clear that in order to get a microwave and refrigerator you had to do the deluxe. We had to move to another room. It was a little outdated and the shower was only warm and very hot.

Nice place for traveling with kids. Christmas motif all year is fun. Xmas theme park maybe a mile away. Paved bike path across the street. Facility was kinda dated, beds average, no micro or fridge in room, but clean. The one attendant was very friendly and bubbly. Pizza place across the parking lot, but not a lot of other restaurant options in the area. Everything in town has a Santa motif.
