Staybridge Suites Merrillville, an IHG Hotel

Very nice King Studio. Staff was welcoming. The water was hot! Free breakfast had a lot of packaged food, which was a change but was lacking in hot food options.

I loved this place!! Everyone was so nice and attentive. The room was very clean and we had a kitchen which is very helpful for us as we travel a lot. Breakfast was fantastic and the Social hour on Mon, Tues, and Wed was fabulous!! Pet fees were very minimal.

This newer hotel is in a good location near a bunch of other newer hotels. It has full suites with full size refrigerators, a sink, dishes, microwave, frying pans and so on. This was my second stay in 2 months on August 10, 2023. I only stayed for one night. They have a small pantry to purchase snacks near the front desk.

The free breakfast is nothing fantastic but they did have hot scrambled eggs and sausage as well as hash-brown potatoes and the other typical stuff like bagels, bread, cold cereal, yogurt, milk and juice.

The rooms were fantastically clean. Curiously I had no shampoo in the wall-mounted bottles in the shower but I did have two conditioner bottles and a lousy body wash that didn't lather up much.

There was also a burned out light bulb on the lamp by the night stand near the bed. But other than these minor things, the rooms were delightfully large and clean.

They have a social night Monday-Wednesday where you can almost make a meal of it. Alcoholic drinks are available free during this time.
