Clean and nice rooms. Our suit had a view of the lake/lighthouse and a full size fridge and microwave. Bistro downstairs made for convenient meals, as did the grab and go options in the lobby. But the biggest perk was location—steps from the farmer market on Saturday, the beach, and shopping district. There is a train that runs several times a night and is loud, but this is going to be an issue if you stay anywhere near Silver Beach.

For us older girls it was quite a task to drag our suitcases up the stairs to check in. We did find out later there was a back door you could walk up a ramp and get a cart from desk area, roll it down, load our luggage and roll it back up. We did use it when we left. The room was very nice and the building was lovely. The bathroom set up was awkward with sink outside the bathroom door.

The beautiful bluff.

We enjoyed a several day stay in saint joseph. If there were lake view rooms available they should be offered as an upgrade if hotel is not full as a courtesy to loyal guests. Yes we have stayed more than 10 days. We’ve enjoyed your high end lovely dining room.
