10 Top-Rated Motels in Indiana

April 18, 2023 Trinity Boughner

With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

Nice motel

Reviewed By pasherry

Stayed one night in this small motel. Check in was fast. Room was clean, plenty of space with coffee maker, refrigerator and ice maker. Bed was comfortable. Good location near many stores, restaurants. We did notice the water was orange colored (rust?) in the morning. Complimentary breakfast in the morning and coffee. We would stay here again.

The property is a mess, the rooms are outdated and stink. The staff is very rude and unprofessional. The staff is always smoking at the front door which is so unprofessional as well. The manager did not care to hear my concerns.

Avoid the cabins

Reviewed By Sightseer228955

Lodge employees were friendly and attentive but I felt under staffed. We rented a family cabin; bags of ripped garbage exposed under front porch, beer cans strewn around deck, an old Christmas tree laying next to the front steps (in May; Really!), killed several roaches inside, ripped shower curtain, dirty furniture and floors, etc. it’s a cabin in a state park so not expecting too much but it would have been nice to at least have the garbage removed and place cleaned up before we arrived. I get that they are renovating some cabins but it still should have been clean. Reminded me of a place that had seen too many college weekend parties. In-laws had a room in the lodge and it was just ok but at least clean. The park is very nice but the lodge and cabins desperately need some professional management. 3 stars for convenience, location and friendly lodge employees which saved a 1 star review.

Not what we experienced before.

Reviewed By davidwZ760VF

We have stayed at this place many times. This last time was not a five star stay. Our bed was very uncomfortable. It needs to have the mattress changed. I felt like I was going to slid out of bed because of a huge dip in the side. The people at check is and when we checked out were very efficient and nice. We have always felt welcome here. Unfortunately the breakfast was not very good. Both mornings the eggs were undercooked. In the past the breakfast was superb. Our previous stays have always been great. Not sure what happened this time. We were a little disappointed. I'm sure it was just a one time thing. We look forward to our next stay here. I hope the breakfast issues can be worked out.

Everything was in good repair and was clean. Staff was pleasant and helpful. It's very no-frills (no continental breakfast, no pool or workout room) but the price reflects that. There were enough outlets to allow everyone to charge their devices.

trip to IU health

Reviewed By ohio1958

It is very close to Simon Cancer center. Room was clean. The lady that checked us in was friendly. Not much to choose from for breakfast. We were on the first floor. There was a very noisy car that came into the parking lot several times during the evening and overnight. Seemed to come and leave again. Right by our window. We could hear someones tv.
