Hotels near Michael Jackson＇s Childhood Home, Gary

Comfortable and affordable. A bit difficult to get to. You can see it from the expressway but then you have to drive at least a mile around to get to the hotel itself. And either eat before you get there in the evening or you will have to drive quite a ways to find a restaurant because it is quite isolated. We did DoorDash and that worked OK. There was a stain in the carpet, but otherwise the room was very clean, including the bathroom, shower, etc. If in the area, we would use this hotel again .

The hardness of the big bed is very good

The day manager and man who runs breakfast are an A+. Rooms are clean, comfortable. Parking lot feel safe. Byway Brewing restaurant next door is good. I slept really well and was happy until I came down this morning and the night manager was asleep, snoring at full force in the lobby lounge chairs. I tried calling the hotel phone #...no answer. Complete dereliction of duty. Unsafe and unprofessional. I called IHG. Hopefully, they will do something, because the rest of the visit--hotel and other staff--was terrific.

It has been almost a year since we were robbed in our hotel room. The so-called “head of security” and “head surveillance”has done an excellent job ignoring every phone call and voicemail since that day and has lied repeatedly about getting back to us. When I say, LIED REPEATEDLY, he has LIED REPEATEDLY. His tone is so pompous and arrogant and he has all but excused the employee(s) who entered our room and stole our money and valuables. We were still guests there but housekeeping emptied our ENTIRE room. Not 1 sock, shoe, or shirt that was in the closet made it down to their lost and found since they mistakenly assumed we had checked out when in reality we had 2 days left. Everything in our room was “removed” including money and other valuables. The security on staff continued to laugh in our face. The head of surveillance condoned what happened saying “can’t prove it so sorry about that”. The hotel management on duty was useless. Don’t even risk it.

I travel a LOT for work, so I know a thing or two about hotel staff. The staff here is the best I've ever met. We stayed here for a baseball tournament. Lisa at the front desk worked literal miracles for us upon checking in, getting us a room at 8:30 in the morning on the first day of our stay and working to get our stay extended. Riley was a champ the rest of the week, allowing our team to take over the lobby to setup a buffet and watch a movie on the lobby TV. They bent over backwards to make our stay PERFECT. The hotel staff were honorary members of our baseball team this week, asking for status updates after each game and cheering us on when we kept winning. They were the best! Thanks so much!

Overall good. Good location

This is our go-to motel when staying in Northwest Indiana. Welcoming lobby area where everything is spotless and tidy. Halls and vending areas were well maintained. Our room was very clean and refreshed daily during our week stay. A/C unit was one of the quietest we've experience in a long time. No grumbling and rumbling every time it turned on. Room lighting was good, towel and linens were more than nice, very good mattress and room seating. No complaints at all. Front desk was always friendly and helpful. Whenever we saw staff at the desk they always took time to smile and say hello. Jay took care of us at check-in and was extremely kind and outgoing, a great personality for this position. We met Tina taking care of the breakfast area and had a nice conversation with her, very personable. Breakfast always included hot items like eggs and sausage/bacon as well as a waffle maker. Plenty of fruit, cereal, yogurts, muffins and always presented well. Area is kept spotless. After driving 10 hours to get home to GA, my wife realized she left her prized make-up mirror behind in our room. She contacted Ash the next day who quickly confirmed the oversight on our part and was more than happy to box up the item and send it to our home. So extremely kind! I may be missing a few names (David and Kendall? and others) but everyone was so nice. This motel may not a fancy pool but it has everything one needs for a comfortable stay, the most important to us is being a kind, friendly staff, clean, comfortable accommodations and a nice breakfast to start the day. It's in a great area for restaurants and shopping, pretty much anything you need. Well lit parking area, always a safe feeling. Will stay here again in the future, high recommend you give them a try.
