This is probably the nicest place to stay in the Monticello area and it's reasonably priced. In addition, you can walk to Indiana Beach without having to deal with the crowded parking lots and the lines of cars. Pond View golf course is next door and is a good course. It's reasonably priced for a round and you'll be treated well instead of as an inconvenience, unlike one of the other golf courses in the area.

The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, spacious and nice. As someone else said, it isn't the Ritz, but you're not in New York, you're in Monticello, Indiana. The only minus I can think of is that there is no room service, but again, consider the location.

For dining, Trios Restaurant is adjacent to the property and has a varied menu and very good food. I was surprised to see in another review that the resort had referred someone to the Sportsman for dinner. The Sportsman is also very good, but the menu selection is rather limited and it's much more expensive. Sublette's Ribs, just a short drive south on Shafer Drive/6th Street is also well worth a try. If you want old fashioned hot dogs and rootbeer, B&K, also south on 6th street, is great. For pizza, try Rockys or Abes, both local joints with some of the best pizza I've ever tasted.

If you're planning a trip to Indiana Beach or to the lakes, consider staying here instead of one of the overpriced and run down resorts around the amusement park.

Just returned from a stay at the Pine View golf resort last weekend. This was our second time at the hotel and we were once again very pleased. We went with a poolside room that had two beds, refrigerator, microwave, cable t.v., and a small patio overlooking the pool. The rooms are similar to what you would find in any Holiday Inn. Nothing particularly fancy, but they are clean and fairly well maintained. The pool area is very nice especially for Monticello, IN. There is also a hot tub, sauna, and golf course. The hotel is about 1 mile from Indiana Beach Amusement Park. It is probably just outside of walking distance, but only a short two minute drive.

We have been going to Monticello for years and I can honestly say this is the best hotel we have found. Most of the others in the area are tired and rundown. I would not hesitate to take my family here again. This isn't the Ritz Carlton by any stretch of the imagination, but it is the best thing you are going to find in Monticello.

This is a great small motel. Very clean. Debbie at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. Bathroom had toilet and shower behind a door, with sink out in main room, which we found convenient. Wall hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner provided, but no lotion. No breakfast, but coffee was provided in whirlpool area.

Hotel recommended the Sportsman Inn for dinner which was very good--steaks, fish, chicken, pasta, hamburgers, Reubens--wide variety. Less than a 10 minute drive from the hotel.
