My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the location is fantastic with easy access to Lake Michigan and some restaurants, the rooms leave much to be desired. They were clean enough but felt a bit outdated, and I had issues with the service during my visit. On the plus side, having free parking was a great benefit, but the limited dining options could certainly be improved.

The hotel has a decent location near Lake Michigan, making it appealing for a budget stay. The rooms are clean, but they do need updates. The staff was helpful here and there, but not always super friendly. Parking was a bonus, and the neighboring area is quite pleasant for a walk, but be cautious-some facilities seem neglected and could use improvement.
