So don't trust that when you book a room at this motel that you will have a room and don't think you can call and confirm and tell them when you are going to arrive because none of that matters!!!!! more on TripAdvisor

The hotel itself has old fashion decorations however it is very clean and the rooms are large. more on Yahoo! Travel

It is far cheaper than the other alternatives, but you get what you pay for. more on Travelocity.com

There was also a slight fly problem, although they do provide complimentary fly swatters as one of the amenities. more on TravelPost.com

The rooms were spacious and they were very clean. more on Yahoo! Travel

The room had a funny musty smell. There was mold in the bath tub. There was hair on just about everything, including bedding and bathroom. There were spiders crawling ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The only good thing about this motel is that it is close to Holiday World and that was about it. The room had a bad smell (as did the office--which should have tipped us off that if the office smells bad and isn't clean, then the ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We researched several travelling sties around Santa Claus only to find prices that can put holes in our pocket. After finding a deal online, my girlfriend called Budget Host Dale. Their rates were approx. 15% less than the websites. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I stay at Stone's anytime I am in Spencer or any adjoining county. Dale is a great base, with a couple of good restaurants (Windell's is exceptional for home cooking and the Iron Chef Buffet has good variety). I was not impressed ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We compared prices and quality at just about all the hotels around holiday world area. What attracted us to stay at Budget Host was the price, the service they provided, the location (5 miles from Holiday World.) The front desk ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This place is just the best place. Very cheap and just a like a home feeling! more on TripAdvisor

Well it isnt a 5 star but there was a nice mexican resturant to eat at on the property. They let us stay in the pool as long as we wanted he said to just call the desk when we were done. The rooms wer ... more on TripAdvisor

I can't believe how nasty and unclean the place was. I booked the room because it was a good rate, but now I know why. As soon as we walked in the room we walked back out. My advice to anyone reading ... more on TripAdvisor

Booked room 2 days in advance, even called to make sure that the time we would be there would be okay but when we showed up there was no room. They blamed it on Priceline saying that they over booked ... more on TripAdvisor

It's about 10 minutes off 64, west of Santa Claus, IN. We were first told that it wasn't a "good place to stay." We decided to check it out anyways. We can called to find out more about it. We asked i ... more on TripAdvisor

I like Stone's and stay there often. It is a throwback to an old-fashioned Mom-and-Pop place. They have the best prices in Dale and closer to town than the interstate places. I had a clean and safe room, and a friendly operator. There ... more on TravelPost.com

We called Thursday requesting 2 rooms for 2 nights with pull-out couches (Friday and Saturday) for a Girl Scout function. We were running late and called. When we got there Friday night around 11:30 pm, they only had one room reserved, ... more on TravelPost.com

Not so great. I've definitely stayed in worse, but there's considerable room for improvement here. The furniture and linen in the rooms show significant wear. Although the bedding and bathroom fixtures were reasonably clean, everything ... more on TravelPost.com
