We had such an amazing stay here. Our daughter loved the option of having an indoor and outdoor pool. The front lobby is decorated beautifully with Christmas decorations. The breakfast was delicious and we liked how it was served until 10 am. Can't wait to stay here in the future !

Loved the stay here! Perfect place to stay the night after a full day of holiday world. My only concern was the discovery of a spider in our towels, but that’s all! Very outdated, but it adds a charm to the place.

Washer/dryers in working condition and available 24 hours. The staff was courteous. The place itself is outdated. I would not say 20-30 year furniture is/feels clean. Visibly the room was clean but the old rug and furniture feel and smell stale. The breakfast was good but the large food trays were not covered and there were a few flies.

Excellent as always. An affordable and comfortable room right next to Holiday World. It's nothing fancy, the pool is a bit small, and the property is aging. But everything works and I sleep like a baby. And on top of all that the high season breakfast is decent.

The property is dated which accounts for part of its charm, I could see this from the images before I arrived. I chose Santa’s lodge for it’s location and that it was Christmas themed.

Initial room Was dirty, had to get key card reconfigured twice. Room felt dirty- the hotel is very dated. The only thing going for this one was the location in proximity to holiday world. Will not be back.

I liked the Christmas theme but it was not made clear that in order to get a microwave and refrigerator you had to do the deluxe. We had to move to another room. It was a little outdated and the shower was only warm and very hot.

This place is a hidden gem. Nothing fancy, limited amenities, and the off-season breakfast is basically just waffles and muffins. But it's clean, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and the amusement park is right there. And Fat Santa's Pizza is next door and pretty good. Food service is kinda slow, but the solution to that is to order a pitcher of beer to drink while you wait, lol.

It was close to Holiday World which made it convenient. However, it was disappointing that we had one soap for the sink, that we had to share in the shower. No lid for the toilet set close to the tub was awkward. We booked a room for 3, 2 children and 1 adult, yet only 2 bath towels were provided. The smart TV was a challenge. We couldnt get it to connect initially. We spoke with the front desk who tried to help, but basically told us the wifi wasnt good in this town. We did eventually figure out how to connect to wifi...overall, it was an average experience.

Upon check-in, we quickly realized this lodge was not a good value for the price purchased. We entered the room and looked around to gauge cleanliness we quickly spotted the sheets on one of the beds was very dirty. It was not just a stain. It was crusty. We had booked through Expedia. The representatives from Expedia tried to speaking to the front desk on our behalf however, the manager at Santa’s Lodge refused a refund. We quickly left and never looked back. It was worth losing our $350 because we were not comfortable sleeping there. So not only was it gross they also refused the refund. I would give it an overall zero stars if I could.
