    Absolutely love this chain, but this one is not up to par. The staff was virtually non-existent and…read morevery curt. Room was average size and clean but the shower handle was not tightened after some maintenance?? And fell off twice. Next morning breakfast did not start on time, we gave up and got on the road after waiting awhile. Good price but its on a side road and nothing close for a maybe 1/2 mile. Price is only reason they even get 3 stars.

    While I will say that our room upon check-in was clean and the building is nice, I had quite a few…read moreproblems with this location. We stayed 2 days for a wedding the weekend after Memorial Day, and my first issue was that it was $212 a night in Valparaiso...to put in perspective, we paid less per night at the Sheraton in Niagara Falls with a Falls view for our honeymoon. They would NOT give me the wedding block price as the block had "sold out". I have never heard of this happening before. So I paid the $212 a night as all the other same level hotels were around the same price. I checked with the front desk on Saturday morning at 9:30am to make sure that we had the room turned over (clean sheets, towels, etc) and when I came back to the room at 3:30 in the afternoon, the room was not clean. I stopped at the desk to ask why and was told that 4 housekeepers had called off AFTER I'd talked to them. They told their housekeeping staff to only clean the rooms that people checked out of and then to go home. Only offered me 1k points, which doesn't do much for me as I don't travel often, so at that point, I asked for manager's email. Emailed the manager Melissa who promptly offered me the same points and no monetary compensation. I called IHG directly who essentially said they couldn't do anything since locations are franchised and they don't process payments. I emailed Melissa back again and pushed for compensation, but my email was ignored. This is not how you run a business or get people to return. For almost $500 for 2 nights w tax, I expect better.

    I'm shocked this place is a 3.8. We go there almost weekly and only once have I had a meal that I…read moredidn't like. It was the lime chicken taco things. Tasted like lime, too much and wasn't for me. But that's ok, the salmon is the best in valpo and the southwest chicken salad is fantastic! Not every meal is for everyone. The servers/bartenders we frequently see and know are Jordan, Adam and Abi. All are great at what they do and no matter how hectic things are, they are always welcoming, courteous and attentive. The drinks they serve are always consistently on point, no matter who is making them. That's a huge plus in my book. The only real negative I have about the place are the chairs at the bar. I get angular is ascetically pleasing to management, but to customers it's annoying and provides nothing but extra work. I have to move two chairs to sit down, how does that make any sense. Quit overthinking the chair alignment at the bar, I beg you. Of course it won't stop my wife and I from coming almost every week, but I truly hope one day I will walk in there and see the bar chairs straight and not angled. Anyways, if you want a place with great food, very clean, unbelievable workers and an ambiance unlike anywhere else is NWI, you will want to go here. Side note, if they could just add a steak to the menu that would make it perfect.

    Went to this theatre a few days ago and I had a blast. Concession prices have been reduced, the…read moreplace was pretty much spotless with the occasional popcorn here and there, and the bathroom's were some of the best in terms of cleanliness that I've seen in public places. The staff were very nice, someone with longer hair with a Christmas hat grabbed me a bunch of new napkins after I had dropped mine on the floor, I loved the attention to detail and willingness to help. Other staff were great as well, concession was quick and easy. Movie theatre to my belief was pretty much spotless. Now onto the movie, the screen and theatre was pretty average compared to other movie theatre's. They are missing the luxury seating and the seats are quite close together, which can be a problem when it's really busy. Lighting and sound quality was good, temperature was a tad bit on the cold side, I'd say about 65°? May want to dress warmer. The concessions were pretty good, nothing special however. They were also out of cheese which can be a problem for some. Pros - Very friendly and helpful staff all around - Clean theatre & bathrooms - Prices are dang good Cons - Movie theatre seating and screen is average compared to other theatre's. - May want to dress a little warm. - No cheese In conclusion I would strongly recommend this theatre because of the staff and prices.

    This is pretty much our go-to theater. Ever since the pandemic started, we have been trying to find…read moreways to get out and do things that make life feel like normal again. Ever since they reopened they have been offering private watch parties. $99 for a classic movie for up to 20 people ($149 for a new release). The screening rooms are always clean and smell fresh, the staff of friendly and willing to help, and the management is awesome as well. We've done this a few times with family and friends, but doing it for a date night is just fun and memorable. The only negative thing about this theater is that the seats aren't the most comfortable.

Sure there were plenty of birthday parties and lots of kids running but that's to be expected. The negative reviews to me are hilarious. You can't blame staff for bad behavior on the part of older kids. Those aren't their kids. At some point the parent has to be held accountable. As my kids are 2 and 5, I walked to each play area with them so that my eyes were on them at all time. We had no issue with older kids. They were patient with my very adventurous 2 year old. The owner is absolutely right that they can't police each child's health. Imagine the outrage if they did. I could understand temp checking during COVID but the pandemic is long gone by now. Kids are walking Petri dishes. Get used to it. If your kid gets sick, they get sick. Are you never going to allow them to go to school either? Let's all stop trying to bubble wrap our kids. My kid got rsv at age 2 after a trip to Chicago and Madison WI. We went to the kids museum there. Did I blame their staff? No, because viruses can be picked up anywhere. We had a great time and we will absolutely be back. Maybe everyone else needs to cut this small business some slack? Being in a business that is for kids cannot be an easy job, especially when some parents are so unappreciative. My kids were passed out on the way home. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

    My littles love it here and we always have a great time! we never have issues with the staff!read more
