Another great experience. From the desk staff to the housekeepers to the manager—everyone was helpful and gave service with a smile. Best location is St. Joe!

Loved that you were able to walk to Silver Beach on Lake Michigan in a few minutes. And shopping in town and good restaurants and bars were just as convenient.

Check in was a breeze and the staff was friendly. They have coffee available in the lobby at all times which was a special bonus for my husband. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite that was clean and spacious. The kitchenette had a full refrigerator and sink with ample counter space, great for prepping/storing sandwiches and snacks for the beach as well as beverages. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows need an upgrade. The location is great and in walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed breakfast at the Bistro in the Inn. It is not a basic menu...a bit on the fancy side. St. Joseph is a quiet, little beach town. Great for our anniversary get away.

Waited an hour for our room check-in. 3:00 am was awoken by the sound of a pressure washer, called the front desk to inquire about the noise. Informed they were on the rooftop cleaning, it was the only available time. No mirrors nor the ability to hang clothes in the suite bedroom. Plenty of towels, pillows , tissue & toliet paper. Pricey, was expecting better.

Very nice stay!

Check in was a little rough as they had issues with people not checking out on time that morning, so our room wasn’t available until after 6pm. The staff was apologetic about it though and gave some credit for food at the Bistro. The rest of the stay was great - clean room, great view, clean common areas, nice fitness room, and nice staff (shout out to Crystal the maid who made sure we were stocked properly with toiletries!) The Bistro also served a yummy breakfast both days (little expensive - typically priced between $10 and $18 per person but they did not skimp on portions or coffee refills!). The hotel was about a 10 min walk from the beach and was right across a very nice walking path.

We came from out of state and were in town early but waiting to check in. Are room was not ready and the woman at the front desk was extremely rude and unhelpful. We waited an hour for the room to be ready. $500 a room and they are not ready or empathetic at all. There was also no parking. The manager did go outside to help find a spot. That was kind of her. The hotel is a bit old but spacious and in the perfect location.
