The front desk was friendly and helpful, the person who checked us out was also pleasant. The outside area was very attractive with a pretty garden and colorful furniture- great beach vibe! We had a fabulous view, which could not have been beaten and considering the price we paid, we could not have been happier with the place. Would certainly go there again.

Friendly, attractive, lake side lodging!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from check-in to check- out. The friendly service and care was much appreciated. Our location in an accessible lower floor room made a difference. We loved our deck overlooking Lake Michigan. My only regret is that I didn't take the time to jump in for a swim!

Excellent three night stay. If looking for a clean place to stay on the beach…this is it! Not busy. Always chairs to sit on at the beach. Fabulous hot breakfast to start your day off right. Staff so friendly and welcoming. Close to downtown and all the area attractions.

The staff at this property were very friendly and attentive. Lots of sand as you would expect for a beachfront location but they do provide a broom to help keep your room clean. We just had one small issue with an older beach chair but the staff was very friendly and ready to fix the problem. I might suggest cute little door mats to help keep the sand at bay prior to entering the rooms and add a little more of a cozy flair (-:
