This is an excellent hotel in downtown St Joseph, MI. We stayed on a whim and were happy with the stay. It was clean and the staff were pleasant and helpful—especially the restaurant and cleaning staff. The food at the restaurant is excellent. The bed was comfortable and overall very clean.

Great location and hotel

We stayed 1 night and it was great. The room was clean and we had plenty of space to spread out. Also great location-so close to beach and all the shops and restaurants. We also enjoyed how quiet the room was.
