Best Western Northwest Indiana Inn

We are an independently owned and operated family business. Our beautifully appointed hotel is just completing a renovation. We have 4 stories, with 3 stories of king rooms, or two double bedded rooms, and one floor of suites.

Our hotel is situated on an industrial frontage road that contains other hotels, as well as municipal buildings and other trade businesses. We are right off 80/94, but our cinderblock construction, usually stifles traffic noise. We have a fully staffed 24 hour operation.

In addition to our rooms, we have meeting/banquet rooms for rent, and Nicky’s Pub & Grill open for evenings. We serve a full hot complimentary breakfast in the morning. Our fitness room is brand new, and we have two floors with a coin op guest laundry. Our outdoor

Pool is seasonal, open Memorial Day to Labor Day on average. We included in our renovation, a Sundry Shoppe that is open 24 hours, as well as a new Business Center adjacent to the lobby, in our secondary lounge, perfect for private conversations.

Our company owns a number of hotels, so the capacity for growth in the area of Hospitality is available for those who feel the service industry is a career they would like to explore.
