10/10 Excellent

"The room felt and smelled musty like there was mold. But ok. The shower head pressure was non existent. Overall would stay again. Price was good. "

Travelodge by Wyndham Elkhart

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay when passing through the area. Rooms were nice and clean and well kept, staff was friendly, the small continental breakfast was a nice option plus there is also several restaurants right next-door if you need to go bigger. I would definitely stay here again."

"Lori was especially helpful and kind. She even helped me get questions answered regarding our next stop (Chicago). Our room and experience were much better here than at the Hilton in Chicago. She also recommended the beach which was our favorite part of the multi-state trip. Thanks Lori!!"
