Top Porter Beach Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Michigan City

8/10 Good

"Room was clean enough as was the property, however really needs lots of upgrades. My room was way in the back, I am sure there were open rooms closer to the front. The hallway in the back it was so hot I couldn’t stand it out there. When I left to grab dinner I was very uncomfortable when I stepped outside. An old beat up van parked next to my car had 4 younger males that were sketchy looking. There was another 20 something year old guy standing against the building, he also looked sketchy. Made me very uncomfortable. When I returned from dinner I parked in the front, which was way out of my way to get to my room. I at least felt more comfortable."

The Brewery Lodge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We can't say enough about The Beer Lodge. It's tucked away amongst towering trees, with small trails to roam where you just might catch deers playing tag. It's like spending time in story book. We opted for a room with a patio, which made morning coffee just superb. The room was spacious, clean and had a wonderfully comfortable bed. It's a lovely balance of rustic lodge and cozy cabin. Paola and Phil were so kind and welcoming. In fact, everyone we met while on our stay were friendly and helpful. The Supper Club was equally charming and warm and the food was outstanding. My husband and I will absolutely be back. If it were possible to give 100 stars, we would."

The Blue Heron Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We went here for the first time as my husband and I celebrated our Anniversary. It was fabulous. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. They had a great tiki bar and a restaurant right on the lake. Food was excellent. Such a beautiful site to see which made our trip very relaxing. We didn't get to use the pool as it looked like it was closed because the cover was on. The breakfast was nice, some of the better ones compared to other hotels. They had sausage, egg, cheese mcmuffins, danish, bagels, and muffins, cereal, yougarts, fruit, waffels, juice and coffee. A lot of attractions not far from there. If we stay in the area again we will definitely be back!!"

Cabin 53 steps from Porter Beach on Lake Michigan: Family & Pet-Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"The house was no frills, but had everything we needed. The real star of the listing is the amazing view and easy access to the beach. We loved every minute of our stay and are hoping to repeat again next year."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Porter Beach?

The best time to go to Porter Beach is during the summer months, from late May to early September, when the weather is warm and the lake is ideal for swimming and other water activities.

During this period, temperatures are consistently pleasant, typically ranging from the mid-20s to low-30s Celsius. This makes it great for enjoying the sandy beaches, exploring the dunes, and taking part in various outdoor pursuits. The Indiana Dunes National Park is fully operational, with ranger-led programmes and all facilities open.

For families, July and August are particularly good as the lake water reaches its warmest temperatures, making it very comfortable for swimming and paddling with children. There are also more family-orientated events and festivals happening in the local towns during these peak summer weeks.

Couples looking for a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather might consider late May or early September. The crowds are typically smaller than in mid-summer, but the weather remains lovely for beach walks, hiking, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Porter Beach hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Porter Beach hotel?

Hotel prices in Porter Beach often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
