I was driving with a friend through Indiana and we had originally decided to drive through the night, but it started freezing raining and we needed a place to stay. After stopping at a local gas station, we asked the gentleman working where to stay and he recommended the Econo Lodge down the street. I have always been weary of... More

We stayed here but were very disappointed. To begin with our toilet did not flush or the phone work but sporadically. When we called to complain they offered to switch rooms (this was at 8:30 at night. One of our little ones had already fallen asleep). They said they would call us back in a little bit to come up...

For less than $60.00 this would be a great place to stay if they cleaned around the edges. I had seen another comment on here about the same thing. Also it had snowed a little the night before (less than an inch) but when we went to leave at 10:30 the sidewalk right outside the door was completely iced over.... More

I recently stayed at this property 11/5/2011-11/7/2011and the staff was very pleasant and professional including the maintenance guy who answered several questions regarding nearby shopping areas. The hotel was clean and smelled clean (which is important to me) and I will stay at this location whenever I'm in the area. The only thing I would suggest is more items served... More

Enjoyed the warm pool water and whirlpool the most! Continental breakfast very limited to mostly donuts--no milk, cereal, or fruit. Nice remodel. Staff at front desk very helpful. Great location. Close to interstate. 15 min to the Lakefront and Riverwalk on Lake Michigan at Portage, IN. Worth the visit. More

Surprisingly, for this close to East Chicago, the price was good. I must say it looks good from the outside, and the lobby is nice. But, again, like most Econolodges.....those looks are deceiving. The room was large, but the shower was a mini-bullet. Approximately 3x3 ft., built into a wall. The light from the room had to try to light... More

We stayed in a queen bed room. When we opened the door we were pleasantly surprised to realize the room was basically a mini-suite, with a small living room (had tv, chair, sofabed, desk & chair), bathroom, closet / sink room, and bedroom with another tv. The bedroom had it's own door to close it off from the rest of... More

I stay in Merrillville, Indiana once a month for three days at a time for business. I have visited most hotels in that area at least once over the last ten years. The manager of this hotel said that it has been newly and completely remodeled and every room has a new bed. It was very clean and a very... More
