Nice enough for a weekend when you will be out most of the day and would not be using the hotel much except to sleep. Lobby is small so no real gathering space, though they have a couple of card/board games. Breakfast ended too early (9:30, even on the weekend) and they were already out of items at 9:15. We had to hunt down staff to ask them to refill waffle batter and they never restocked eggs or potatoes despite being asked to. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

0/10, 0 stars, do not book here. Absolutely disgusting rooms. Checked in, lobby already smelled I knew it would be downhill from here. Our room reeked of urine. We immediately told them we needed a room, they tried to say it was the AC. We go to second room, it doesn’t smell but the beds are gross. Sheets are wrinkled, mattress pads isn’t covered by a barely fitting fitted sheet, you can see stains. The pillows are so worn out they don’t even fit the pillow cases. We were scared to even lay on the bed. No other hotel nearby had vacancies or we would’ve left right away. We stayed 1 night. And cancelled our second night, we just drive home. Don’t even know if we will get reimbursed. Didn’t even use the shower. The room felt gross. The carpet throughout the hotel was old and filthy, I have never been this disappointed in a hotel in all my years traveling. I thought using a best western would be safe, as it is a chain, but looks like this one is privately ran and they do not care, besides getting us a different room they did nothing to try to make this better. Will return to saugatuck but never here again. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Do not, I repeat do not book this hotel, it needs to be gutted, remodeled and stay clean.

the hotel used bare minimum supplies in most cases. For the price of the hotel - -The Sheets were thin and cheap -Bed felt thin and cheap -A few residents complained of ants in their rooms and were asking for refunds -the pool area - especially hot tub didnt appear to be professionally cleaned in quite some time. Location was good and price was decent on a busy weekend - but with the price per room - would be nice to see them at least upgrade their bedding situation - not much different than a motel 6 for about 5 times the price.

Disappointing

One of the worst experience on a family vacation. The staff was rude, parking lot, dining area, trays at the coffee bar, jam smeared on the elevator floor, bed sheets that didn’t fit - it was dirty. They still had food crumbs on the dining tables at 3 pm. The pool was unkept. We lost power, air conditioning and wifi and the staff closed themselves in the office. Was rude when we asked a time frame. We attempted to spend every moment we could afford outside the hotel. We will not be back a best western. I wish we would have taken photos, but were so embarrassed of the conditions. The staff and location need to be visited from upper management.

This was a solid pick as a hotel located close to Douglas and to Saugatuck's shopping and dining. Still had to drive there from the hotel, but only a couple of miles. The double room had two queen beds and a spacious bathroom. Room came with a refrigerator, too, which was nice. The beds were good although not as comfortable as some other's I've slept on in hotels. The property was quiet and there was an indoor pool with a jacuzzi. Did not use those, but walked through the area and it seemed nice. Kind of a non-remarkable property, but you won't be spending much time in the room anyway, so it's good for what you need it to be.

The room was dark and didn't feel clean at all. There were ants in the room on the nightstand. The pool and hot tub looked nasty. Overall didn't have a clean feel to the hotel at all. Towels super cheap quality. The gym was super tiny and only had some hand weights, treadmill and elliptical. I wouldn't stay here again.
