"Friendly staff and clean facility. Check-in was easy and the front desk employee overheard my daughter say she hoped we were on the top floor, and they gave us the top floor. It was a small, but very kind and appreciated gesture! "

"It’s very relaxing and quiet in the middle of the woods and plenty to do there."

"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!"
