Such a cozy lovely spot to spend the night. We felt welcomed at check in. The place is a bit dated but that really gives it the charm. Room was clean and comfortable. We used the warm pool and sauna, both were clean and comfortable.

Lake of TLC
Property was very dated with a lack of TLC. The room had a musty smell, pictures used online must have been old. Paint pilling from the walls in the pool area.

Great Experience!
The front desk was so very friendly and the place was so clean! It is very close to one of Lake Michigans beaches. The continental breakfast was good and hot every morning. The indoor pool was warm and not freezing cold. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!

This hotel has great charm and features that I had not seen in a hotel before. We made use of the sauna located at the pool area and the common space/living room type areas that are located on every floor. Very cozy, with a vibe like no other place we stayed on our 10 day road trip. The room was spacious and we enjoyed the balcony and scenery. We even saw a rabbit and a beaver from our balcony. My kids loved the outdoor seating areas and swings.

Good but not great.
The property is a little dated but otherwise pretty nice. My room had a musty smell to it. Probably due to the whirlpool in the bedroom which I didn’t even use. Not in a walkable area as it’s pretty remote but there’s an Uno’s Pizza next door. The check-in took a while as only one person was working the front desk and many showed up at once. Overall it was good but not great.

A wonderful experience.
Great place to stay near the dunes and lake. Easy to get almost anywhere in the area. Can walk across the parking lot to get to Uno Pizza. The continental breakfast includes a waffle maker, eggs, sausage, cereal, yogurt and pastries. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful stay and will definitely include this hotel when I return to the area.

Beautiful!
I’m not sure what some of the fuss is about. Yes- this place is an older Inn; but it’s beautiful! We saw ONE spider which is to be expected in an old building that’s surrounded by scenic woods. It truly has so much history and charm, large rooms too. The staff was exceptionally kind and accommodated an early check-in for us. The pool was nice, clean, and didn’t reek of chlorine. If you want lame modernization, go to the Marriott and stay there. We loved this place and will absolutely be back.
