Top Porter Beach Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Merrillville, IN

10/10 Excellent

"The room good, breakfast good, and the staff was warm and welcoming "

Cabin 53 steps from Porter Beach on Lake Michigan: Family & Pet-Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"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. I locked myself out, and the host was quick to help me. It was clean. I loved the bathroom mirror....now i want one. Just one suggestion: My husband is quite tall. The living room chairs are small. He looked really uncomfortable, but he just didn't want to hog the couch for 2 days. I felt bad for him. Lol The couch was long, though, so he got a nap. "

The Blue Heron Inn

8/10 Good

"So obviously they have been remodeling. The new updated flooring looks so much better. The room we had ; had an old shower with mold. Definitely need to replace the showers! The tub in my room was AWESOME! I loved the lake view . Although during our stay our privacy “fence” broke so we really couldn’t enjoy it the next day. But they did send maintenance pretty fast to fix . Which was great! TVs are small, maybe a little update on TVs too! Staff was nice and friendly. Although they shouldn’t smoke by the lobby door. Further away would be nice. The restaurant was also amazing! The food was really great. I loved the fact there was a restaurant attached to the place. Breakfast was very poor and disappointing . Breakfast hours are little short compared to most places 630am-930am. But there was not many options on breakfast, we ended up going to mc Donald’s for ours. Otherwise, I would definitely come back! "

Spark by Hilton Merrillville

4/10 Poor

"We did not have a great night. The beds were very uncomfortable and the pillows had barely any stuffing in them. Our bathroom door did not shut, and the toilet paper holder was about ready to fall off the wall. The breakfast was so so. It would’ve been nice to have maybe some meat available, however, the coffee was fresh and hot and very much appreciated since we did not get much sleep. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone I know."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Porter Beach?

The best time to go to Porter Beach is during the summer months, from late May to early September, when the weather is warm and the lake is ideal for swimming and other water activities.

During this period, temperatures are consistently pleasant, typically ranging from the mid-20s to low-30s Celsius. This makes it great for enjoying the sandy beaches, exploring the dunes, and taking part in various outdoor pursuits. The Indiana Dunes National Park is fully operational, with ranger-led programmes and all facilities open.

For families, July and August are particularly good as the lake water reaches its warmest temperatures, making it very comfortable for swimming and paddling with children. There are also more family-orientated events and festivals happening in the local towns during these peak summer weeks.

Couples looking for a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather might consider late May or early September. The crowds are typically smaller than in mid-summer, but the weather remains lovely for beach walks, hiking, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
