Top Santa Claus Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Rockport - Owensboro North (GOLD AWARD WINNER)

8/10 Good

"Great stay"

Comfort Inn Jasper South

10/10 Excellent

"The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful, made me feel at home. Breakfast had astandard hotel selection, but rotated the hot menu items daily which was nice to have a different option each of the 3 days of my stay. Management was very helpful, exceeding my expectations. Everyone went above and beyond to make it a great stay. As a frequent traveler, this hotel is at the top of my list of places to stay in the Jasper area."

Large Home Sleeps 24 in Santa Claus 5 Mins from Holiday World with a Game Room

10/10 Excellent

"Family gathering for the weekend. Grandkids loved the property and especially enjoyed fishing. The close proximity to Holiday World was a plus. Communication with the host was excellent and there was an immediate response any time we had a question."

Liberty Landing – Walk Everywhere in Santa Claus!

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay! The location couldn’t have been better—it’s across the street from Holiday World, making it incredibly convenient.The space is much larger than it appears. It has 10 separate areas, including a full kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, a laundry room, two bathrooms (one with a toilet and sink, and another with a shower), plus multiple hallways that provide extra privacy. Both the kitchen and living room have doors, which helped keep noise from traveling throughout the unit.The unit has a private entrance at the back of the building, and it backs up to a wooded area, making it feel quiet and secluded.The host was very responsive and accommodating. I asked about an early check-in, and they allowed it as soon as the property had been cleaned, which we really appreciated.The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, cookware, and everything we needed to prepare meals. There are five TVs throughout the unit, and the air conditioning worked exceptionally well, keeping the entire space comfortable.The furniture is on the more budget-friendly side, but everything was clean, functional, and served its purpose. Overall, this was a spacious, comfortable place to stay in an excellent location, and we’d definitely stay here again."
