"Everything went well. I booked after searching and reading mixed reviews. Honestly I can’t find what people were upset about. The staff was great. The room was great. It was close to downtown and has perks we didn’t know about. Everything was great. I will be staying here in the future!"

"We had a beautiful view of Lake Michigan! The sunrise was gorgeous! The room was nice and cozy with pine walls! The only downside was we could hear other guests talking from other rooms. They should have made it more soundproof."
