Room was perfect w a waterside view. The balcony was great both morning and evening.
The Inn is close enough to town that you can walk (if you are into waking).
Next time through I will definitely choose this Inn again.

  Our stay was a quick one night stay. We had dinner and drinks in the bar. The food and service was excellent! Our room was also very nice. We felt... read more very comfortable our whole stay and look forward to our next visit More

  We kicked off our stay with a super fun ride on the Harbor Hopper cycle-boat. We had a total of 16 gals and we stocked up the cooler with our... read more own booze, blasted our music, and snacked while we cruised on the river for two hours. Everyone had a great time. Next we checked into our rooms. Check-in was super fast and we had 3 rooms total: two rooms with two queen beds each and one two-bedroom suite for the bride and a few of the other gals. The queen rooms were super clean and cute with comfy beds and riverside views but the suite was absolutely A-MAZING!! It had two bedrooms, a full kitchen, living area, washer/dryer, riverside view, two bathrooms and the beds were so comfy!!! Our shuttle bus driver, "Grumpy", was the nicest man ever! He was able to get us to our dinner reservations on time and even picked us up from our party spot back to the hotel - he truly went above and beyond! The next morning we had breakfast at Plank's inside the hotel. They offered a huge buffet with tons of options but we opted for table service and everything was on point! The tiki bar by the pool looked fun and they had live music that we didn't get a chance to check out so I guess we'll have to go back! Don't hesitate to book this hotel for your next...

Don't hesitate to book this hotel for your next stay in the southwest Michigan area! The beach is beautiful and so close to the property, downtown St. Joseph is super cute, there's lots of local wineries/breweries and the staff and service are excellent. We really felt taken care of every step of the way; a very well managed property!! More

  January duldrums and sneaking away from Chicago for an overnight spa getaway was perfect! Hotel was easy to locate and very welcoming. Seasonal pricing (summer here is the busy season!)... read more was perfect; we even got the special which included a gift certificate to the tasty and festive on-site restaurant, Planks, and a bottle of champagne with locally made Michigan chocolates waiting in our room.

The room fit our needs from the coffee maker to the extra-comfy beds. The water view was as nice as could be expected on a grey, cold January day. The on-site full service spa was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our getaway package including a massage, facial and mani-pedi. Many thanks to the excellent staff there for the top notch, coordinated service and especially the on-the-ball scheduling efforts. We will look forward to a return visit! More

  It was a cold and blustery storm hitting us the last hour, while we arrived for our weekend stay here. Parking lot wasn’t full, thankfully. So, we didn’t have to... read more park too far. The snow was blowing sideways, it was almost a squall. The staircases upstairs to the 2nd floor is on the left immediately upon entry. The reception area is to the right when you walk in, small but it works. There’s lots of area to sit, one area is set up like a living room with a couch, love seat, chairs all around the perimeter. It’s just left of the reception desk. There’s a small desk at the foot of stairs. The bar is a decent size, it’s part of the Plank’s restaurant. There’s tables by the bar or in the dining area behind the bar. There are more seats on the second floor, which is where the spa is located. The Rise and Vine coffee shop and small convenience store. They have single cans of La Croix for $3, egad. A case of 12 cans is $6 at the grocery store. But their coffees and other drinks seem comparable to Starbucks and other one off coffee shops at least. The rooms have some sodas $4, small liquor bottles for $20-$25, boxed water $3. Should have stopped by the liquor store on the way here. The king bed looks big, clean and inviting, it’s not bad as far... It was a cold and blustery storm hitting us the last hour, while we arrived for our weekend stay here.

The king bed looks big, clean and inviting, it’s not bad as far as comfort. Pillows aren’t the most comfy.

The bathroom fan is so loud, quite loud. It’s so peaceful and tranquil when it’s off.
We can hear the girls chattering and having a late night next door.

I do like the light under the bathroom sink, this way we didn’t always have to have the bright lights on at night or first thing in the morning or the loud chopper fan either. My husband likes the mega flusher on the toilet, to ensure that no “log” is left behind. :P.

Found many light bulbs were out while sitting on the couch in the lobby just chilling, maybe time to replace them then?

The stay was nice, aside from our loud ladies that partied late into the night all weekend.

The checkout process was quick and easy, handed in keys, receipt and out the door.

The hotel features 2 elevators for the entire hotel. For the full duration of our 5 day stay one elevator was out of order resulting in a 5 plus minute wait most times if not every time when utilizing the elevator. Being on the 5th floor and having 3 small kids the stairs did not provide a realistic alternative.

The indoor pool is nicebut freezing. The outdoor pool is very nice. The restaurant is fine but extremely expensive when compared to the quality of food provided. Door dash provides many other options with quicker service and prices that better reflect the quality of food you receive.

Overall this hotel has become over priced for the experience/room you receive. The prices are more in line with high end hotels but the rooms are exactly what you would find in a Hampton inn. There is nothing special or remarkable about the rooms, beds, or amenities provided in the rooms. Be sure to request that you receive the room you pay for and ask for a room on a lower level just in case the elevator still has not been fixed.

The Boulevard hotel downtown St. Joseph is a much better bet. It is an older hotel but features much larger/more unique rooms and the location can’t be beat. The service is top notch and definitely worth checking out. More
