Lake Michigan get away

St Joseph is where I raised my kids. It is a lovely lakeside town that anyone would enjoy. The Boulevard Inn is a beautiful clean hotel right on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. I noted the hotel and the Bistro have been totally redecorated since I was last there. I would highly recommend the hotel, and the restaurant!

We were visiting town for a family emergency and booked on a night-by-night basis (as the crisis emerged) for 10 nights. The staff was very accommodating with our last-minute reservations, greeted us warmly each night, and showed personal concern for us and for our family member. They even saved us a fresh cookie when they knew we'd be arriving late! The bartenders (because we really needed a drink when we rolled in just before closing each night) were welcoming and kind. At breakfast the staff would ask for an update on our family member, offered prayers, and even wrote "get well soon" on a carry out container for her. I can't say enough about this place!
