Perfect for weekend getaway

This property is an amazing concept. Beautifully decorated , clean and contemporary spaces. Common kitchen was really handy. Parking access is convenient and hotel is walking distance to all of downtown New Buffalo. Outdoor space looked lovely, but with snow on the ground not used by us. The common "living room" was a perfect place for a happy hour gathering or game watching.

This place is so cute and comfortable. The room with bunk beds have the bunks in a little room with a door, so that's great. The bonus space in the backyard is really sweet. We watched a basketball game on sling back there with the fire going. Very cozy!

We had a very nice stay; great location, lovely and friendly hotel. Our only issues were that there were no black out shades and curtains that were not sized correctly to cover the windows/patio door so a lot of light came in in the morning. Also we could hear everything in the room above ours. That said, we liked the concept of the hotel and it was very convenient.
