Cabin 53 steps from Porter Beach on Lake Michigan: Family & Pet-Friendly
Very nice cottage. Parking right outside. Great view of the water, despite a row of cottages diwn the hill. You could hear the water at night. Has a 360 degree wrap around deck. Bed was comfy. There were lots of extras....i think they thought of everything. It was a quick drive to the parks and restaurants. ...

Ameristar Casino Hotel East Chicago
Everything was great except even if you request a non smoking room/floor it still smells of smoke. I understand it’s a casino hotel so I did overlook this for the most part.

Had trouble connecting to Wi-Fi. Notified attendant at the front desk, she gladly reset the router and all was well. I have no complaints. This was reasonably priced for a no frills motel.
