The only thing I didn’t like was they didn’t have a pool. We had children with us who were very disappointed about that. I didn’t notice it on their website that they didn’t have one. It should be stated that they do NOT have a pool.

Central and within walking distance of everything! Breakfast at the Bistro was excellent; servers were very attentive and friendly. The Inn staff were knowledgeable of the downtown area and were cheerful. My granddaughter especially liked the "free" cookies, prepared and ready at 2:30 pm every day. In the early evening, you can walk a short distance to the park and watch the beautiful sunsets, and hear Taps being played. We loved it and will return!

I would gladly stay at this hotel again and again. What a truly enjoyable experience! The location couldn’t be better—just steps from the beach, the splash pad, the historic carousel, and a variety of great shops and restaurants. The hotel was impressively clean, and the staff provided outstanding customer service throughout our stay. I couldn’t have asked for more!

We loved our stay at the Boulevard Inn. Check in was easy as well as the close proximity of the parking lot. The room was very clean and I appreciated the large mini fridge. We really liked the location. It was close to the beach, and stores. We are already talking about booking again next summer. Thanks for a wonderful family trip!

Close to everything in town, including the beach! Property is clean and well maintained. Breakfast at the Bistro was good. Check in was east, however, at 11:01 on checkout day, literally 11:01, the front desk called the room and said that housekeeping was concerned someone was still in the room. Left a bad taste in my mouth after an otherwise pleasant stay.

We just had a wonderful stay here with our two young children! It was our first time in St. Joseph, Michigan, and you cannot beat the location of this hotel. We walked to the beach, carousel, splash pad, stores, and restaurants. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner in the Bistro with a beautiful view on the balcony area. The lobby was very nice, and the parking was convenient. Make sure to clarify the kitchen amenities. Some rooms have only a mini fridge, and some have a full size. We definitely recommend staying here.
