Perfect location & absolutely amazing views! We arrived just a few mins before sunset, walking into our room with a view of a Lake Michigan sunset was perfection! Didn’t think morning would be as good facing west, but the sky was full of color & gorgeous. Coffee with a view!

After having issues at another local hotel, we ended up here and Amy was amazing with her service and getting us in at a late night hour. Such a pleasure meeting her. The hot tub and pool were great and the rooms were clean. So well thought out and even the hot tub and pool was handicap friendly. Definitely coming here again!
