"What a wonderful, quaint, little gem! Everything worked as it should and was very clean. The staff was friendly and always around if you needed anything. The pool and hot tub were a wonderful amenity. We booked a whirlpool suite and it was spacious, clean, and very well equipped. It was wonderful to have plenty of towels for the jacuzzi and shower. The lay out of the room was nice and having a small table and chairs to eat in the room was a great addition. The location was close to shopping, restaurants, and Lake Michigan.
