Home2 Suites By Hilton Merrillville

Pool was awesome. We stayed there because it was affordable, had breakfast included and had a functioning pool (we called 4 hotels before finding a functioning pool). Breakfast was fine, but the hot stuff was not fresh. In this day and age that was not surprising. However, I think it's better not to have "hot stuff" than to have food in warmer for hours. It just looks bad. But really, hotel was great, breakfast was fine too if you skipped the hot old stuff!

The location was great. Breakfast had a variety of options. We liked the breakfast sandwiches, waffles and the coffee. The room was very clean and nice. It came with a little kitchen with a bigger refrigerator and microwave with a dishwasher with dishes. It was the cutest. Although we didn't utilize it, it would be kind of nice for someone that was traveling with family.

I loved how clean everything was. It smelled nice when you walked in and was nicely decorated. Staff was nice with an easy check-in. The room itself smelled very clean and included a large kitchenette complete with all dishes/dishwasher. There was tons of shelves to organize our things. The bed was super comfortable. My daughter loved the pull-out bed. There was a table in the room, stored under the desk, where we could sit and eat in our room. My husband and I agreed the shower was the first hotel shower that we didn't want to get out of. Water pressure and heat were amazing. Plus, the shower was huge! Although it was cold out, we took time to swim in the pool, mainly due to our daughter's request. It was warmer than I expected and plenty of room even with others there at the same time. I didn't try the gym but it looked nice. Breakfast buffet was definitely one of the best we have had at any hotel. It included a variety of warm breakfast sandwiches, buscuits and gravy, pre-made omelets, cereal, waffles, muffins, yogurt, bagels, toast and a variety of juices/milk. There was also a small market in the hotel that offered things like Tylenol, various drinks, snacks and frozen foods for purchase. The location was great as well. Very easy to get to anything you needed and also quiet at night. Also, plenty of parking close to the main door.

the property was clean and parking was convenient. the location of the property wasn’t the greatest due there not being much from walking distance but this argument doesn’t hold water. I’d stay here again.

Breakfast was top notch (waffles and about 5 different hot breakfast sandwiches). The room was comfy, spacious, and quiet. The gym was very well equipped and even had a Peloton bike (a total selling point for me). I would definitely stay here again in this area.
