Overpriced
Hotel seems old. It is just a hotel, does not seem like a resort. Booked "deluxe" room, but I can't imagine how it was different from the standard room other than it was $13 more. We were on the floor where many holiday world employees live. Bedding was thrown out in the hallways the whole time we were there. Just didn't seem to match the price we paid. Breakfast buffet was mediocre.

Santa's Lodge was clean, quiet, and comfortable. There's nothing else even remotely close by, so kudos for them providing a decent value for money. If you're going to be staying at Holiday World and don't want to camp or cabin this is about your only decent choice.

It was a clean environment. The beds were comfortable. It was nice and quiet at night, which you don't always get at a hotel anymore.

While I understood that we weren't going to a major tourist attraction like Disney World or the Gulf Coast in Florida, I still thought maybe this place would have been updated in the last 20 years or so?? We took our 2 young grandsons to Holiday World for 2 days which required a 2-night stay, and we thought staying close to the park would be best as our grandsons are little. The beds were very uncomfortable, the pillows (2/bed) were only big enough for a 3-year-old, the room smelled musty and old, the carpet felt gross to walk on barefooted, the shower head felt like it removed 3 layers of skin with each shower, walls and ceiling were so thin you could hear every movement from other occupants.... While I can appreciate the nostalgia of the decor of the lobby, I don't understand why the rooms haven't been somewhat updated at all. We definitely won't be staying there again.

Loved it but hoping for updated beds next time.
Loved the hotel. Breakfast was amazing. Wish it had dinner in the restaurant too though. Close to Holiday World. You could fish in the pond. Indoor & Outdoor pools. Only complaint is that the beds were terrible. Overall though, we liked it.

We only stayed one night and spent very little time in the room. The hotel is an older hotel..and it shows some wear and tear. However, the room was clean, which was more important. The beds could use more or bigger pillows.

This property could do with an update. We came 7 years ago and it is just ad we remembered. The Santa theme is cozy, but all thr decor and carpeting is probably from the 80s.

It was disappointing to find out that there were no paddle boats, zip line and restaurant as advertised. The lodge is in need of an update! The location was great. The staff was friendly. No fridge or microwave in my room. Not worth the money considering the "oldness" and no paddle boats and zip line.
