The Vista
We enjoyed our two night stay immensely. How could we not, with a lovely view of Good Harbor Beach and a seven minute walk to get there. The staff was EXTREMELY helpful and welcoming. The property is clean, attractive and well maintained and the Continental Breakfast was well-stocked and appreciated. ...

Long Beach Suites
Easy parking, great looking furnishings. But the only problem we had was that the internet and wireless was very slow and constantly dropped signals. The individual room thermostats with remotes were not so intuitive.
