My two sons (ages 11 & 14) and I stayed at Santa's Lodge for three nights while we spent two days at Holiday World. This was our third stay over several years. It is the closest hotel to Holiday World and there are not any other choices within Santa Claus, IN unless you want to camp. The hotel is clean,... More

This hotel is a perfect place to stay if you are visiting Holiday World and do not like to camp. Beyond that, there simply isn't anything special about this property. The room was clean, as was the bathroom. Amenities were basic, and there was a coffee maker and ice bucket. The tv was your traditional CRT type, and the beds... More

My husband and 2 children (7 and 5) chose to stay at this hotel again this year after our pleasant experience last year with it. I was disappointed to see that the price went up $20 over last year's price ($120 w/tax for a standard 2 double bed room) but figured it was worth it given the nice room we... More

Rooms are ok. The restaurant is not all that great. Only meal there was the breakfast which was buffet style--scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, and gravy, and fruit cocktail. There was no other choice for bread and no juice at all. There is an indoor pool that is a nice size. Now, get this. You have to have your room... More

This was our 2nd stay at Santa's Lodge in the past several years and we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. The property is reasonably well maintained and clean. Our rooms were reasonably sized, clean and comfortable. The mattresses were a bit hard for our comfort but not terrible. We feel the prices are reasonable for such close... More

The hotel is less than 5 minutes from Holiday World. We had a room in the family suite section. The room was big and clean, but a bit dated. Staff was friendly enough. The bed and pillows were just ok. Overall, the location makes it the place to stay for Holiday World. It's fine, just not great.

My kids and I had a great time! The staff was friendly and helpful, the rate was the best I could find, it is so close to Holiday World, and the food was inexpensive and DELICIOUS!!! We did not want to leave and will definitely go back. The room was decent for the price, clean and super comfortable, not luxurious... More

This place is not very good, but not over priced. The rooms are nothing special (even kind of dirty), nor are the facilities. The hotel resterant is one of my worst food memories that I have ever had. The only reason that we stay here is because it is close to Holiday World theme park, which is probably the only... More

We stay here every May when we visit Holiday World. It is a great little hotel, but don't expect 5 stars. It was clean and the location to Holiday World is GREAT. We will be staying here for the next several years :-)

I have stayed at this property twice for visits to an event at Holiday World. In terms of convenience and friendliness, this hotel can't be beat. In terms of comfort, the hotel has work to do. When it comes to convenience, this hotel is extremely close to Holiday World. Value is also great, as the price is cheaper than similar... More
