⸻ We stayed at this lovely inn while celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The room was very clean and the whole place had a peaceful, quiet atmosphere—perfect for a relaxing getaway. It’s also in a great location, just a short drive or walk to downtown St. Joseph, which made exploring the area super convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout our stay. The only minor downside was that the pool could have been a bit cleaner, but overall we had no complaints. We’d absolutely stay here again!

First Class Experience

Great experience: our room was ready early and was clean, spacious, nicely decorated and comfortable, we loved the balcony. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We found the menu at Planks disappointing but what we eventually ordered was delicious. The best amenity is the free shuttle service to downtown St. Joe and excellent drivers, Dave and Tom.

Upon check-in, we had to wait as there was a sign up on the counter stating the clerk was busy. Planks was decent, but the service was terribly slow. Probably bad timing just all around. Would stay there again just wouldn’t rush back.

Close but no Cigar

This hotel is in a great location with lots of opportunities for different types of fun. The downside is you are expected to deliver the level of service commiserate with the price you charge. We were gone all day, only to find out that our towels had not been replaced and the room had not been serviced. When we called the front desk we were blown off and told we must not have realized our towels have been replaced, even though they were still stacked up where we left them on the floor in the morning. There are lots of positive with this property, but until they get the polish on the “service” aspect of what they do, it will never reach potential.
