We just had a wonderful stay here with our two young children! It was our first time in St. Joseph, Michigan, and you cannot beat the location of this hotel. We walked to the beach, carousel, splash pad, stores, and restaurants. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner in the Bistro with a beautiful view on the balcony area. The lobby was very nice, and the parking was convenient. Make sure to clarify the kitchen amenities. Some rooms have only a mini fridge, and some have a full size. We definitely recommend staying here.

Check in was a breeze and the staff was friendly. They have coffee available in the lobby at all times which was a special bonus for my husband. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite that was clean and spacious. The kitchenette had a full refrigerator and sink with ample counter space, great for prepping/storing sandwiches and snacks for the beach as well as beverages. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows need an upgrade. The location is great and in walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed breakfast at the Bistro in the Inn. It is not a basic menu...a bit on the fancy side. St. Joseph is a quiet, little beach town. Great for our anniversary get away.
