Top Merrillville Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Merrillville

2/10 Terrible

"Just bad all the way around"

Sleep Inn & Suites Merrillville

4/10 Poor

"Within the first 10 minutes of being in the first room a cockroach crawled on the bed. There were rust marks all over and water damage on the ceiling. Crumbs were all over the floor and things previous guests had left remained on the floor. The room was clearly not cleaned. Thankfully they allowed us to switch rooms; however, this room had just as much water damage and the light was barely hanging onto the wall. Listing pictures need to be updated."

Hilton Garden Inn Merrillville

6/10 Okay

"The room was standard if maybe a little outdated by today’s standards. The air conditioning unit stopped working during the night and then we found fruit flies in the orange juice during breakfast. Kind of unfortunate. The shower had hot water and the bedding was clean. One of the better hotels for the area but would probably not stay again."

Spark by Hilton Merrillville

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at Spark by Hilton and overall had a very good experience. The hotel was quiet, comfortable, and made for a relaxing stay. The room was clean, cozy, and I had no issues getting good rest. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. The staff was very nice, helpful, attentive to detail, and always respectful of our needs. They were professional, accommodating, and never bothered us unnecessarily, which I really appreciated. The only thing I didn’t fully understand or care for was having to pay a deposit each day when rechecking in. That part was a little inconvenient and confusing. Other than that, my experience was positive, and I would gladly stay here again in the future."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Merrillville, IN

6/10 Okay

"No floor towel, hand towels, or washclothes upon check-in. Had to request those. Toilet needed to be plunged upon check-in. Shampoo dispenser empty upon check-in. 5 night stay; supposed to be cleaned/serviced on 3rd day. Never cleaned/serviced. Convenient location."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Merrillville

2/10 Terrible

"Not clean at all, smells terrible had to buy my own air freshener and candles. Got moved from 1 room to another because the tv didn’t work and the second room looked like the door lock was tampered with. Booked for 2 nights and the second day i was woken up out my sleep by an employee asking why haven’t i checked out yet and I still had an entire day left."
