LOVE LOVE LOVE

The Retro Resort was everything we were hoping for and more for a little escape. The room was cute and clean, the pool was so nice and refreshing, and the property itself was absolutely beautiful and felt very secluded. Retro Rob very clearly cares about his resort and its guests. We will absolutely be back, and we will be telling all of our family and friends about it! 10/10 *chef’s kiss*

fun hotel with friendly staff. Pool is set in the middle of the property and is surrounded by mature trees. Could have done without the Frank Sinatra music playing all day long. Yes, I understand it is a 'retro motel' and that music could be appeopriate but it was a bit much for me. Room was clean and comfortable. Bed was ok, but would have liked some better pillows. No coffee until 9am - in the office. Affordable, and beautiful property. Overall a pretty nice motel.

This was my first trip to Saugatuck, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I’m a hotel snob (annoying to both myself and anyone I travel with). Rob called me and I was immediately set at ease. The charm cannot be captured on camera. Loves: 1. Rob, the owner, is welcoming. 2. Well thought special touches, like corkscrews, lighters, grills, and morning coffee. 3. The pool is pristine! No sand, super clean, sparking, well-balanced water! 4. The community fire pit and abundant lounging furniture, firewood, etc. 5. The rooms are 5 star clean, all bedding is washed after every guest, carpet looks nee and respected, fridge/freezer, nice furniture, not a cobweb in sight. 6. Upon checkin, Rob points out sights and attractions on a map. 7. Relaxing music all day long on the patio. 8. Rob knows guests by name bc many people are regular visitors. 9. Comfortable sleeping. Location - a great fit for those who have bikes and want to relax, a short drive to everything. Thank you! I can’t wait to return!
Community gardens and fire pit.
Beautiful, sparkling pool.
Happy couple.
Well-manicured grounds.

I was going to have a later check-in, Rob called to check on my drive and see how we were and how much longer it was going to be before we were there. He left a local map for us and spent time talking to us to make sure we knew where to go for dinner and had everything we needed. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic! The rooms were cute, very well kept, and very clean. Wonderful place to stay!!

The resort is on nice grounds in a quiet area. However, it is badly in need of a paint job. The walls had weird holes everywhere. The room was very musty and had an odor that opening windows didn’t help. No maid service. No restaurant or breakfast. No coffee available until 9 am.
