Our room had a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan. It had a deck where I got to read and listen to the water lapping the shoreline. The sunset and sunrise on the water were phenomenal.

Great, friendly service-brought my breakfast box to door at 4:30am for early flight. Very comfortable double king beds with nice balcony. Huge walk-in shower. Hated the coffee machine-brewed coffee is so much better. Parking is tight. Lots of smoke comes over the street from campers in park and makes everything smell.
