Great location and hotel

We stayed 1 night and it was great. The room was clean and we had plenty of space to spread out. Also great location-so close to beach and all the shops and restaurants. We also enjoyed how quiet the room was.

Beautiful hotel within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. Cross the street, walk the sidewalk a short distance, and take stairs down to the beach area of Lake Michigan. Couldn’t ask for a better location, plus no other hotels are nearby.
