This hotel has a beautiful location by Lake Michigan, offering lovely views and a chance to relax. The indoor pool is fantastic and the overall atmosphere is family-friendly. However, my experience was dampened by long wait times for service and difficulty accessing amenities due to events. The restaurant experience could use some improvement, especially regarding timing and accessibility during busy occasions.

We had a wonderful time at the hotel, enjoying the stunning views of Lake Michigan and the spacious grounds perfect for walking. The restaurant experience was pleasant, especially with the attentive bartender Rene who made our meals enjoyable. However, some amenities were lacking, such as in-room fridges and a limited supply of toiletries. Overall, it’s a great place for a getaway, particularly with family or for events, but some aspects could use improvement.

Our stay at this park hotel was a nice blend of relaxation and fun, thanks to the amazing indoor pool and stunning views of Lake Michigan. The service was quick, making checking in and out a breeze, though there were a few hiccups in the dining experience due to being busy. Overall, it was a solid value for a weekend getaway, especially if you're a family looking for a pleasant spot to unwind and enjoy some leisure activities.

I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. While the setting by Lake Michigan is lovely and the rooms were comfortable, my recent visit during the Easter Buffet was disappointing due to poor service and a lack of food options. However, I appreciated the family-friendly activities they offered. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there is room for improvement.

I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. The views of Lake Michigan were absolutely stunning, making it a beautiful spot to relax. However, the overall condition of the facilities left much to be desired and made the stay less enjoyable than it could have been. The staff seemed friendly and tried hard to accommodate, but they were clearly overwhelmed and not always effective. While my room was comfortable and spacious, the hotel's upkeep really needs attention to truly elevate the guest experience.

The hotel is directly on the lake and offers a nice beach area, but the pathways leading to it could use some work—there were visible chunks of concrete missing and it wasn't well maintained.

Dining options were decent, but nothing stood out as extraordinary. It felt more like a casual dining experience rather than something special.

While the indoor pool was inviting and a highlight during my stay, the overall appearance of the facilities was tired and in need of some renovation.
