"This is one of the best hotels I’ve been to in Merrillville. I used to stay in Merrillville when I’d come home to visit Gary. The quality of a lot of the other hotels in the area made me choose other areas like Portage or Hammond, but this hotel will definitely be a viable option if I choose not to commute further. Clean property, dope room. Very spacious. My only complaint is that the remote was not compatible with the television so I couldn’t use it."

Top Founders' Square Park Hotel Reviews

Best Western Indian Oak

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful property overlooking the water"

Spring House Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was great for my family of 4. No complaints about the cleanliness or staff. Pool was clean and working, a tad cold, but not a big issue. The only issue i had was with the smell. Walking into the main lobby the strong smell of fragrance greeted me. And the room itself had a perfume smell to it as well. To normal people it may not be a problem, however im highly sensitive to fragrances and often times will get a migraine from strong smells like that. Fortunately I didnt get one while staying there which amazed me. But maybe the hotel can keep in mind that some people do have a sensitivity to fragrance and it may deter them from wanting to stay again."

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was HUGE! Big beautiful bathroom, very nice kitchenette, a full size coffee pot with cream, sugar, ect... Everything was extremely clean, nice fluffy towels, very nice bedding..."
