Clean enough but room for improvement

It was fine for the night and exactly what we needed. No frills. But it's clean. It's dated, the beds are on the hard side and the towels were pretty thin. But we were there for one night after a concert in Louisville and before going to Holiday World. Breakfast was just waffles, yogurt, maybe there was some cereal and some bread/muffins. It was a carb paradise. A little humorous considering there was a run/walk for juvenile diabetes happening at HW and several "teams" were staying there and wearing there team awareness shirts. I didn't like that the milk was just in a jug in the small fridge and kids kept getting it out to use. There was a regular lack of coffee and the carafe had to be refilled often by the attendant who was also writing the front desk. She was very nice. But she was having to literally make a pot... Just like I would say home... And pour it into the carafe. It would be give before she could even get another started brewing. They need some upgrades and updates for sure. The decor in the main area where breakfast and check in is located is decorated cute and Christmasy And then a few things here and there around the property including some large Santa's but the rooms have nothing. At least ours didn't.

It was myself and 2 children. We were to check in at 3 arrived 2 hours early and were able to go ahead and check in. The kids wanted to swim and we spent 6 hours in the pool. The water was perfect inside. Outside it hadnt warmed up yet but had only been open 1 day so I expected that. The hotel is dated, but very clean. The only thing i wish i would have paid closer attention to and it was not the lodges fault was standard rooms do not have microwaves or mini fridges. We had breakfast the first day it wasnt the best it was cold, but we were late getting there. The second day it was much better but we arrived 2 hours sooner. The kids didnt want to go. We have season passes to holiday world and we just stayed at the hoteland swam. Loved it here

Never had a bad stay. Every time we check in I ask if Santa is on the premises, and they always deny it. I’m very suspicious…

The property is dated which accounts for part of its charm, I could see this from the images before I arrived. I chose Santa’s lodge for it’s location and that it was Christmas themed.

This place is a hidden gem. Nothing fancy, limited amenities, and the off-season breakfast is basically just waffles and muffins. But it's clean, the staff is super friendly and helpful, and the amusement park is right there. And Fat Santa's Pizza is next door and pretty good. Food service is kinda slow, but the solution to that is to order a pitcher of beer to drink while you wait, lol.

Nice place for traveling with kids. Christmas motif all year is fun. Xmas theme park maybe a mile away. Paved bike path across the street. Facility was kinda dated, beds average, no micro or fridge in room, but clean. The one attendant was very friendly and bubbly. Pizza place across the parking lot, but not a lot of other restaurant options in the area. Everything in town has a Santa motif.

Cool vintage feel

We truly enjoyed our stay here! The hotel is a little outdated but it was very clean! My kids loved the pool and hot tub! The Santa theme is perfect! This is a huge building too! I was amazed at how they can keep up with it. The breakfast was just waffles, cereal and toast but it suited us just fine, for the price it was great!
