First timers but would stay again

Stayed in a family suite. Water and shower were hot. Room is dated but very clean. Beds we’re comfortable. Breakfast lady was a pleasure to talk to and breakfast area was kept very clean. Coffee was good. Would stay there again.

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 It was a little outdated and the shower was only warm and very hot.

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.

Great stay

This is a great hotel! Yeah, it’s old but I hope they never change it! It has a great feel to it. It’s clean! Has a nice indoor and outdoor pool and hot tub. The breakfast each morning tasted great and had a huge selection! Biscuits, gravy, sausage, eggs, lots of different cereals, yogurts, muffins, waffles, etc. we’ll be back! This is a clean, convenient and comfortable hotel!

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 Very outdated, but it adds a charm to the place.

We were taking a mini vacation and thought the Santa Lodge would be a nice place to stay. We enjoyed our stay and were pleased with how wonderful the staff was. They were very nice and helpful. Thank you, we had fun!

Decent but a little overpriced

Overall the stay was okay, nothing that blew us away. I think the rate was higher than what the room was worth.

Old, in Desperate NEED Updates

Check in was easy. First room we received smelled of body odor. The carpet was extremely worn in this room. The second room was better still needing updates. The towels and bedding especially. The pillows were too soft and used 2 per bed. Adding 2 more from the front office made 1 normal pillow. Facility is just old and worn down needing updates. I won't stay here again.

i don't usually write reviews but figure that this one was worth it. I'd say like all properties and experiences, your expectations matter a lot. So, if you're going to Santa Clause, IN, you're likely going to Holiday World as part of the trip. And if that's what you're doing and using this hotel for, it is perfect. Location is great, maybe 2 minutes drive to Holiday World parking. It is an easy walk or drive to grocery, 1-2 restaurants, etc in case you need to supply up and/or feed your crew. Santa's Lodge is cool and quirky and fun, so just lean into it. That's what you're here for. The free breakfast is legit, though some more variety would be nice (especially for guests staying more than one day; eating the same exact heavy breakfast 2+ days in a row would get old). But between the timing of the breakfast and when Holiday World opens (10am, but they start letting people in around 9:30 to form lines etc), there's plenty of time to fuel up and feed your crew. A good breakfast will then give you some base to go hit the park and then maybe push your lunch until after the big rush. Other aspects we liked were the pool (2 of 'em, indoor and outdoor) and hot tub. We also really enjoyed the onsite pond, which definitely has fish, so bring a pole and tackle if you are interested in a little easy fishing in between Holiday World trips. The hotel is really dated, so don't expect it to be the nicest, most up-to-date accommodations But just know that going in and have fun!

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.
