Waterbird Lakeside Inn

Fair price and a decent place to stay. We had no issues and room was nice enough and clean. No staff around anywhere.

Lake view was lovely, but the room was in poor condition. The sheets were stained. The ac/heater didn’t work.

This is my second time staying at the Waterbird and I really enjoyed my stay. I used to be a resident of the area but now live out of state but have needed to come back to see my mom who has been having medical issues. Staying at the Waterbird is so peaceful and relaxing. The lake views are beautiful. You can sit out on your balcony and be right over the water. The room was clean and front desk staff was friendly and helpful. This is a no frills hotel in terms of amenities, but being right on the lake is totally worth it.

Huge 2 bed room with a beautiful lake view and the room was clean and comfortable. I wouldn’t go to any other hotel in the area.

Had issues with TV and heater in room. They seem to be painting a doing other updates but not the updates that are essential.

My mom has been through numerous medical issues this year and I live out of state from her. She had to be placed in a care facility and her home has a lot of work that needs to be done on it to prepare it for sale. I had been trying to stay with relatives when I would come into town but it was hard on everyone involved and I would crave quiet time. So I decided to stay at a hotel. My husband and I lived in Chesterton for 7 years before we had to move for his job. I booked this hotel because it was close to my mom’s facility and I fell in love with it. Sitting on the balcony over the lake was so peaceful. And I never knew this lake existed!! And I used to live here!! It is an older hotel with not many frills, but it’s clean, close to numerous restaurants, and you can’t beat waking up to that view. It reminds me of going up North to WI, MI. And all the turtles!! I loved feeding the turtles. I will definitely be back.

The Waterbird is the most reasonable and comfortable hotel for the price in Northwest Indiana with great views, large TVs, and a modern yet cozy aesthetic. The one time we had an issue with our television, an employee was quick to come fix the issue and could not have been friendlier. I love watching the geese on the pond in the morning before check out.

Clean and comfortable rooms. Nice view of the lake and balcony right on the water. If looking for pool/ indoor pool, weight room, bar/restaurant then this is not the place for you. Local fast food and grocery and other shops close by.

20 years outdated. Coffee maker and blow dyer didn’t work. “Smelled” old and dingy. No one answered the desk phone in the morning. I
