This was a very nice place, comfortable and clean. We came to Gary to visit Indiana Dunes and spend a day on the beach. The location was good for both, the neighborhood was very residential. There were no claims of having an outdoor space, so the listing wasn't misleading at all, but it was a bit of a disappointment that there was no place to relax outside. The distance to the beach and Indiana Dunes was perfect. There were some great restaurants close by as well.
