cute and cozy but noisy trains

The room felt super clean and gave me a sense of safety. It was ideally located for exploring both Beverly Shores and Michigan City. The vibe was charming, making it a delightful spot for a quick getaway. I also appreciated how the contactless check-in made everything smooth!

The trains were quite distracting, especially being so close to the motel.

al & sally's motel is a gem! it's so charming and kept in pristine condition. just a short drive away from the beautiful lake michigan beaches and the indiana shores national park. i loved the contactless check-in experience, and deana provided amazing service. it's only a quick 3-minute drive from the train station, making it easy to escape to chicago without any hassle.

strongly recommend

The unstaffed office left me feeling a bit disconnected, as reaching out for help required texting, and responses took longer than expected. Trains running nearby can be a nuisance, and the absence of blinds in the room resulted in an early morning wake-up call as sunlight flooded in. Additionally, the parking lot and the back of the property appear neglected, though the room itself seemed adequately cleaned aside from the discolored bathroom grout and caulk.

Charming retro bathroom with unique character.

Hearing neighbors was a distraction. earplugs recommended.

Al & Sally's Motel is a gem! The rooms were immaculate, with a cozy feel, and the amenities like the mini fridge and Keurig made it super convenient. The location is prime, just a short drive from Lake Michigan beaches, and the check-in process was seamless.

Trains nearby can be a bit loud.

The location is prime, just 8 minutes from the beach! Plus, the modern vibe with cute touches really sets the mood for a cozy stay.

The trains were a buzzkill, running right behind the motel. And not having blinds was a major wake-up call when that sunshine hit.

Strongly recommend for a weekend break

Wonderful motel, cozy outdoor dining area, we enjoyed the convenience of free wi-fi and found it easy to explore nearby beaches since the location is just a short drive from the coast.

Almost perfect

Decent Stay, Room for Improvement

We stayed for two nights in a Deluxe Queen Room with Two Queen Beds. While the location is great, we encountered plumbing issues and uncomfortable beds. The overpriced snacks didn’t enhance our experience. I suggest more value-centric amenities and better room conditions for future guests.

the bed was a bit hard but the room was super clean and newly furnished! ! loved the little fire pit outside for relaxing after our busy day exploring! great location near the beach and awesome food options!

Didn't like anything, except friendly staff

Our stay was fantastic! The spacious rooms were perfect for our large family and our dogs, and the easy check-in made everything smooth. We loved how close it was to the Indiana Dunes National Park, making it a fun and fresh lodging choice.

My children wanted a more secure area for cords and outlets away from their reach. With little ones, it's important to ensure safety in the room.

I stayed in a Beautiful Queen Room for two nights. The retro charm captivated me, though the bathrooms could use updates. The attentive management, and the beds offered a cozy retreat after exploring. Enjoyable experience despite minor quirks!
