Top Gary Hotel Reviews

Congress Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Not much staff was apparent on the main floor throughout my stay. My initial encounter at check-in was with an unhelpful person but most of the staff was excellent. Instructions for the in-room coffee machine were not provided and I wasted the only coffee trying to work it. Walls were thin and adjacent guests noisy. But room was attractive and it had a bathtub, a lovely perk."

Travelodge by Wyndham Downtown Chicago

4/10 Poor

"Really old rooms, landlord special, windows entirely painted over. There is little to no sound dampening, you hear EVERYTHING that is outside. The rooms are super draft. Room door is flimsy, did not feel safe. The room itself is BARE minimum. Tiny bathroom, can barely get around the door to get to the toilet. It was cheap compared to other hotels in the area and I can see why. "

Bluegreen Vacations Hotel Blake, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for the price. Our room was clean, had a comfy bed, and was quite large with a king size bed. There were limited ammenities at the hotel, but good food and coffee was a quick walk away. We really enjoyed the Jazz Showcase (2 blocks) and the neighborhood wine bar (2 blocks)."

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Gary?

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Gary is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is wonderfully warm, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the sandy shores of Lake Michigan.
