This hotel is not ready to be open. This looks like another Wyndham property that is refurbished as a budget hotel. Lots of things not ready yet. Elevator out of order, ice machine (first floor) out of order, ice machine (second floor) so dirty, I didn't wouldn't take ice. Room furniture very old, desk chair broken, hallway light burned out making it very dark. Breakfast was subpar, even for a budget hotel. Constuction material still in various places. Parking lot area overgrown. The saving grace was the room and bed were clean. Stayed Oct 4 - 5 2025

Horrible Hotel!!!

Hotel is in poor condition. First arrived was given a key that didn’t open door. Had to return to front desk and be given another room. Once in the room no microwave was there and the tv didn’t work. Had to return to front desk to tell them that the tv didn’t work as there was no phone in the room to call the front desk! Pool was closed! Elevator was out of service! The hotel breakfast was doled out. I asked for more bagels and they brought out 3! The hotel gets a zero! We will never return again!!!!

Construction in the next room.

The outside of the location looked horrible and almost abandoned. It can't be hard to get a landscape company to come take care of this. The staff on the inside were friendly. There was a construction company working on certain rooms thru the hotel. Not on areas but rooms so the room next to you or across from you maybe getting work done. This is stupid because you assume that guest are not sleeping thru the day and thats not true. The room i was in looked like it should be on the list to get worked on.

Absolutely terrible

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. The cleanliness was absolutely nonexistent. The first room that I went into the toilet seat was completely covered in urine. The towels had what looked like rust on them. The bathtub did not look like it was properly cleaned, and there was dust and food crumbs all over the counter. If you value cleanliness this is definitely not a place you need to stay.

Do not stay!!!

Horrible. Parking lot and grounds were overgrown. Broken windows, building literally looks like it’s falling apart. Lights out in hallways making it pitch black and dangerous. Breakfast was make your own waffles but the machine didn’t work. When I walked in the man at the desk just said ‘ID’. He told me my room number and nothing else.

There was no breakfast except one crappy waffle maker and cereal. We stayed for 5 nights and were only given 2 towels and not allowed any fresh ones. We were yelled at for using the microwave in the lobby at 10:30 to heat up our dinner. No microwave in room. No functioning TV. The property was poorly maintained and dirty.

Where to start, the front desk attendant was nodding off as she was trying to program my roomkey. She was without a doubt under the influence of opiates or sedatives. The room smelled musty, no Kleenex or toilet paper in the room, the garbage had not been taken out from the last guest. There was no remote for the TV. And the toilet didn't flush. And to top it all off, no shampoo, soap, or lotion in the room. Linens were filthy. This place needs some serious work. This property was stunning when it was the Carlton Lodge. Now it's a seedy drug den. I should be refunded. That place is absolutely filthy.

Run away from the Horward Johnson of Merrillville

The worst place ever. It was run down with furniture that looked like it came from a thrift store, the locks were broke hallways smelled. The vending machines were broken. The ceilings were missing tiles and had wires hanging from them. I didn’t even stay I left after 15 of being in the room.

The property was rundown. Our bathroom had 1/2 used bottles of shampoo and lotion. Only 1/2 of the pool was open and no pool towels available. We did not feel safe and ended up leaving and staying with family nearby even though our stay was non-refundable. Would not recommend this hotel even for the low price. I have stayed at many Wyndham hotels but this hotel was nothing like other Wyndham hotels.
