Very nice weekend
Very nice place. I assume at one time this place was hopping! Just not the same vibe as in the good ole days when people were nicer to each other and they celebrated family more. We had a very good time! Thank you

It was a great place to stay and we really enjoyed it. The breakfast buffet was very good. Enjoyed the fact they had an outside deck where we could relax and that was a nice touch.

Check-in was fast and the girl at the desk was very friendly. The decor is charming and my kids enjoyed all of the Christmas decorations. Room was very clean and the beds are comfortable. We weren’t in the room very much because we were at Holiday World but we would definitely stay here again.

We liked this location and will stay here again. The staff was great. The breakfast was good and we were there at the end.
We will bring our own towels next time though because these were thin, rough and not absorbent.
Beds were old but comfortable and clean.

Santa's Lodge was clean, quiet, and comfortable. There's nothing else even remotely close by, so kudos for them providing a decent value for money. If you're going to be staying at Holiday World and don't want to camp or cabin this is about your only decent choice.

It was a clean environment. The beds were comfortable. It was nice and quiet at night, which you don't always get at a hotel anymore.
