When you are traveling you have to decide what type of accommodations will serve your purpose. When staying in NW Indiana to visit family and friends we decided that we would need a bed and a shower and not much more. This Econo Lodge is obviously not the best choice in the area so I was not surprised with what... More

This place was a total crappy dive. Do not stay here even if you have no choice. There was no breakfast in the lobby the next morning, just Tastykakes, and there was no coffee. The front desk guy didn't understand English, and did nothing when my son threw up. The bathroom was dirty, no shampoo, and the TV didn't have... More

This place is junk...Im surprised they don't rent rooms by the hour....I was tempted by good parking for my trailer and a cheap price, but as soon as you walk in the room you will realize the folly of your ways...The room seems as if 15 shaggy dogs came in after a heavy rain and shook themselves dry all-over the...

I have stayed in some icky places but this was the worst. The walls were painted different colors and they completely missed the corners. The automatic sprinkler had been leaking and the drywall all around it was a soggy looking mess, it looked like they tried to repair it and did a horrible job, the sprinklers also did not have...

It had been a hard day of driving, I'd been lost for a while, and found directions to a Best Western. After driving around for 10 minutes without finding it, I found this EconoLodge. (I did see the Best Western the next morning as I was leaving. Keep driving around - you'll find it over behind the Walgreen's. Kind of.)... More

This place was a dump. Even if it has indoor entrances, which some poeple like, it is not worth it. The entire place reeks of cigarette smoke when we were ordered a no-smoking room. There was none of the essentials that you would get in a normal Econo Lodge. (Shampoo, soap, basic stationary etc...) The towels were stained and the... More

The Econo Lodge In Chesterton, Indiana is in need of a major overhaul. It is worn and tired, towels, sheets and blankets are so thin you can see through them. All thatt is OK but when we couldn't find the tv remote, we later found it made up in the bed. I asked if they changed the sheets each day... More

If we had not had a GPS system we would never have found this motel. There is no Econo Lodge sign anywhere. We arrived about 9:30 pm, it was dark, the parking lot was poorly lit, and about 20 guests were standing around in small groups in the parking lot with beverages in hand. At the front door there were... More

I just stayed two nights in this hotel. It is very, very basic, but the price was very cheap, too. My room was clean enough, but run down and old. Good points: About $50 a night. The bed was not unconfortable. The shower was hot both times, and stayed that way for a long while. Room included a small refrigerator... More
