Do NOT recommend

There are better options in the area than here. For over $200 for one night, you would expect better food and a clean room. Our beds had left over hair from previous guests, what appeared to be make up marks, dirt, food whatever on the sheets. I don’t believe they changed the sheets at all. The bathroom was filthy. There was hair ALL over, the shower, sink, floors. The mini fridge did not work at all. The elevator sounds like it’s going to fall apart as you take it. If i could leave zero stars i would. The food was bare minimum, and served on paper plates. Not eco friendly at all.

You dont get what you paid for.

Booked a suite for a family weekend. What room i booked online was not the room we received. There was supposed to be 2 queens and a bedroom with a king. Instead we got a king and queen bed in the main room and a pull out couch in the bedroom. I called the front desk to complain and was told they gave us the room we booked and didnt offer any explanation why it didnt match what i reserved. She just said a pull out couch was a bed. Um...not when it was supposed to be a king size bed. Plus the room was not as pictured as well. Dirty, torn carpet, bathroom tub was chipped and stained. Furniture cracked and living room furnishings were stained. "Courtyard" was messy. Our "courtyard " view was not much to look at. Apartment complex next door was noisy at night and we witnessed people enter the hotel gate by the pool from apartment complex. Breakfast was the same every morning and not as pictured. Stop posting pics of your hotel from a newly built one. It should be labeled as false advertisement. You definitely dont get what you pay for. Will not be back

An ok stay. The room had a stale and musty smell, room door would not close or latch without being pulled shut manually. Possible black mold above the shower. Breakfast was very good, there was a beautiful view of the sunset over lake Michigan across the street from the hotel. Overall, felt like the hotel was overpriced.

Room was in the process of being updated. Bathroom had several issues - broken tile on floor, glass shower door did not shut properly allowing shower water to wet floor, shower wall was broken & someone tried fix (poorly). Door to room was very stuck & finally had to put some shoulder into it to get it open. Got stuck twice in the bathroom when the door would not open. Breakfast bar layout is poor and needs revamped. The luggage carts are very rickety & parts are broke off of it. We wondered if it was going to hold our luggage. They are in the process of renovating but the place needs help right away.

The hotel is just far enough outside the hustle and bustle of St Joseph. It has a restaurant right next door with amazing views of Lake Michigan from the outside deck. I would have given another star for conditions of the facility and even cleanliness but it’s hard to tell as there is some remodeling going on. So I gave three stars just for my stay. The room was nice and clean so the room gets 4 stars. I would not be afraid to stay again.
