What guests think

At Baymont by Wyndham Portage, travellers describe an aging property with noticeably worn carpets, musty smells, and variable cleanliness—ranging from acceptable rooms to serious issues like mold, dampness, and occasional reports of bed bugs—balanced by consistently friendly, helpful staff.

Facilities feel worn, with repeated mentions of out of service elevators, a small pool that can smell unpleasant, an outdated gym, and intermittent hot water or in room maintenance problems. Location is convenient off the interstate and within a short drive of Indiana Dunes, with ample parking. Breakfast is often praised for variety and hot items, though at busy times it can be crowded, run low, or feel inconsistently managed. Expect a budget stay with friendly service in a handy spot, but uneven upkeep and comfort.

The bottom of the tub had something in it and no matter what type of cleaner I put in there it would not go away and the pool smells like sewer it smells horrible you didn't smell any chlorine it was disgusting. I will never go there again and they need to do better. The customer service at the desk was great

The pool area was dirty and had such a horrible smell u had to cover your nose walking into,children were diving into pool area on top of other guest swimming as parents sat and watched or left them unattended.myself and another guest complained to front desk how unsafe that was and she didn’t care at all and shrugged her shoulders and went about her business on her phone,As safety at a hotel she be a huge concerns to guest but apparently not here,our room was on 2nd floor and began pouring in water in the bathroom due to the people above us overflowing the tub and basically front desk brushed it off so we couldn’t even shower nor offered to switch rooms.

I have stayed at this hotel many times. It gets worse each stay, and this will be the last time i stay here. No matter how many times i get keys, they have trouble working properly. The elevator caught fire and was out my entire stay being on the top floor. One bed was missing the fitted sheet, and room service never showed up. Bugs were on the bathroom floor. Check out was fun making multiple trips up and down the stairs because the elevator still did not function.

First off, the elevator was out and no one was even going to come and look at it until the next day. The building is worn out and not very well maintained. The doors are difficult to open and close. The fixtures are very old and outdated. The carpet throughout is in desperate need of replacement. You can’t continue to pour some sort of freshener onto it to get rid of the musty smell, it just doesn’t work that way. The staff was very nice.

The morning of our first night we found a live roach in the bathroom! We informed the front desk immediately. They did not seem alarmed or concerned at all. They said they would let the manager know. We got the feeling that this happens more than we would like to know. This was our last time staying there. YUK!!

The GOOD: 1. Staff! Everyone was friendly and helpful to the best of their abilities. 2. Cost. Reasonable. 3. Location. Right off the highway. Close to shopping/dining. About 25 minutes from Valpo. 4. Pool. Appeared well-maintained. My daughters enjoyed it. The BAD: 1. Filthy! Not talking about the bedding and counters. Housekeeping staff seems adequate enough (didn't encounter anyone directly). It's the overall facility - windows, window treatments (curtains, blinds), etc that are so laden with dirt and dust and grime that they're discolored. 2. Ventilation needs upgrade. Unknowingly booked a room with a jetted tub. The smell of mildew permeated the entire room. Additionally, the sign above the tub said it would be sanitized daily, however housekeeping doesn't come daily. In my 3 days at the hotel, the tub was not cleaned/sanitized. 3. Smoke. Smoking is permitted right near the entrance, causing breathing difficulty for those with asthma.

There was black mold on the bathroom ceiling, the carpet was sticky. Bottom of bathtub was dirty like there was mold growing and it was bleached. The outdoor property was not kept up well and it looked like there were two cars that were abandoned as they both had flat tires. Seemed like it was more of a residential hotel than a travelers hotel. The AC did work well. beds did seem clean. The pool area was clean as well. The wallpaper in the hallways needs replacing as it was very dated and falling off in several different locations. 1 hour after starting breakfast service they were out of stuff. Had to remind staff to restock items even though they were standing near the food the whole time. Will not be staying here again or any other Baymonts.

The hotel is definitely due for some updates but the biggest disappointment was the cleanliness of our room. It was just not cleaned well at all and smelled musty. Our son’s asthma was aggravated by it and we almost had to leave because of his coughing. Thankfully we had his inhalers and were able to get the reaction stopped in time. There were lots of dogs there and the elevator floor had dog urine on the floor when we left. We don’t plan to be back.

The hotel is older, but they've made some updates. Still old cigarette burns on the bathroom counter and peeling paint, but it smelled ok and the service was really great. A little overpriced in my opinion, but not too far out of line. Decent place for a one or two night stay if in the area.

We arrived and were given a key to our room...headed upstairs to find a do not disturb sign on our door with sounds of the TV coming through the door. I went downstairs to check with the front desk attendent and she wasn't there...I looked down the hall, outside, in the pool area and rang the bell five times as I was waiting. She came to the desk about 10 minutes later saying she was brushing her teeth. She made excuses for giving us the wrong room and gave us the key to another room. The bathtub was so dirty, worn and gross that we showered with a towel as a mat on the tub floor. There were buttons on the floor which tells us it probably wasn't vacuumed before we got there. The carpeting in the hallways and room was stained a lot. Just not a great stay. Bed seemed clean and was comfy. Went to blow dry my hair the next morning after my shower and the dryer was so damaged it wouldn't plug in. Went to tell the front desk but no one was there even throughout our whole breakfast which was at a decent time so someone should've been at the desk (8am-ish)

Overall really poor stay. I’m not super picky, I stay in a different hotel a night for 6 weeks at a time, 3 times a year. All I really hope for is a clean room. The room hardly looked vacuumed, there was food and garbage all over the floor. There were multiple cop cars outside when I showed up. There were extremely loud guests in the next room over to mine that, no exaggeration, were yelling and throwing things around from 3am until we left at 8am because we just couldn’t sleep at all. Called the front desk and nothing was done about it. It literally kept my entire room awake for hours. Not to mention the situation seemed hostile, so it just didn’t feel safe to be around and it didn’t seem that the hotel cared about the safety of the people in that room either. The staff were kind and the bed was comfy, but every other part of my stay was extremely sub par. I just would not recommend it.

Staff was very nice and friendly. Keycards didn't work very well. When they gave me a new one, they did not check to make sure I should have access to that room... hmm... Also the refrigerator didn't really keep my food cold. Their inner front door has a push-pad for handicapped access, only it doesn't work. When I pointed this out, the person said, " O I don't know.." They didn't seem to understand that I was telling them it didn't work and that they should fix it.. hmm.. Good breakfast, rooms clean and ok.

Although the staff was very accommodating, we never received housekeeping services for our four night stay!! Upon check-in, we were not told that we had to request their services after our third night. They never emptied the trash...until front desk told me to sit it outside the door. I had to go to the front desk to get fresh towels. The air unit sparked the first night, then only cold air came out (it was 28 degrees outside!!) At least maintenance fixed the air unit the next day...overall 2.5 stars.

Quiet area Elevator is a little ifiy but we managed. The hotel breakfast was great, and the lady running the area was super helpful with the pancake machine! Lots of options. Pool was good, kids had a blast. Was just passing thru the area and it worked out perfect and very good cost
