This Hilton Garden Inn is a good place to stay for someone wanting to be hear Chicago. It is as close to the interstate as you can get. It is also just 9 miles north of a great Spanish restaurant in Valparaiso called Don Quijote. The rooms are comfortable but the breakfast buffet was not too good. more

We like to take the kids to Splash Down Dunes each summer. I agree with the review from 2007 - the place needed work. This year (2008), it looks as if they got their act together. Unlike 2007, it was clean, things were painted, the lawn was mowed, and there were more than enough life guards. The staff at the... more

We stayed one night in the Gray Goose Suite and were pleased with everything about our stay. You can tell that Tim, the innkeeper, is an experienced innkeeper. The place is in tip top shape both inside and out. I was there to relax and was pleasantly surprised to find the screen enclosed gazebo in the back facing the calming... more

Food taste like frost bitten card board. But they have great home made root bear. more

Good food, service is great more

Great pizza more

Best Gyros in NWI. Freindly place more

I should have known by the attitude I got when I called to see if there were rooms available that this wasn't the right place to stop for the night. The staff seemed very unprofessional. I was traveling with my children and wanted to surprise them and take them to Indiana Dunes State Park the next morning. We had stayed... more

We stayed in room 227 from 07/18/08 to 07/20/08. Very good experience. Standard Best Western’s quality. Nice, clean, good food, excellent staff. more

I was extremely disappointed and would have gladly gone elsewhere to stay given the chance. The three desk clerks that I dealt with were all surly and very rude. One spoke very broken English, and when I asked him to repeat himself, he errupted into a litany of abusive language. At least I must assume it was abusive since it... more

I stayed here for five days in early June and loved it. Best Western, no matter where I travel, is my first choice for a hotel. I was not disappointed. The lobby is beautiful, as is the lake view outside the large windows. Every staff member that I met was very friendly and very helpful. They served a good breakfast... more

Lucrezia still is one of the best kept secrets in all of Chicagoland. You can't beat the quality, quauntity, and price. Well worth it. My wife and I were engaged there, and we dine at Lucrezia several times a year. They are consistently excellent. They have a great drink menu, fine wines, and a daily menu of specials. I almost... more

George's is a local hot dog, burger, gyro joint that's just off the interstate (94). The food is as good or better than any similar joint in Chicago, including their Chicago dogs, Italian beef, gyros, polish dogs, and cheeseburgers. I've sampled most of the great hotdog and burger stands in Chicago, and none of them beat George's. The price is... more

Chesteron Indiana ...Gelsosomos..June 14, 2008 My wife and I eat there at least twice a week. The pastas and the pizza are second to none. The half carafe of wine is a very good buy. The service is better than expected, especially if Tracey is your server. She is non-stop. For appitizers I suggest the sampler platter,(you get three choices).... more

This is the place you might think of when you think Mayberry RFD Quaint 50 style dinner. Frendly people great food and quick service. Not big but a great place to have breakfast or lunch. more

beautiful garden pation for alfresco dining in the summer...historic house...great entrees and pastas with daily specials...Italian contemporary music piped in, so ambiance is quaint, but hip...they make their own dessert from scratch...sophisticated wine list... nice martinis...1/2 portions of pasta are available, although no children's menu the half portions are just the right portion for kids and they have a killer... more

My husband and I stayed at the Gray Goose Inn last weekend with our small dog. While we are not normally B&B people, we loved the Gray Goose. Despite the weather being very cold and wet, we had a wonderful weekend. There was nothing about our stay that we didn’t enjoy. The food was excellent, the grounds, even at this... more

We were disappointed not to find a room in Chicago for under $300 a night, so we stayed at this beautiful Hilton Garden Inn in Chesterton. It is so nice and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was good. The pool is a typically small hotel pool, but my daughter and niece still had a... more

If you're looking for "atmosphere", then Georges is probably not your place, but if you're looking for terrific food and huge quantities, then join the locals and come to Georges. Their gyros rival those of any restaurant I've been to in Chicago's Greek town. Order extra pitas and share because the amount of meat they give you is enough for... more
