Hidden treasure!

See, I had no idea there was a beach resort in Illinois!! i think the locals have been keeping this gem a secret! You are literally right on an amazing beach and still in Illionis!

They had just finished some upgrades, some still in progress. Decent hotel, nice view, beach access was nice. Centrally located to everything we were doing that weekend. Did find a used cup behind the chair that wasn't cleaned.
James, 2-night trip

Beach trip

The place is older but clean. Very convenient to have a private beach steps away. Front Staff was awful. They could use a smile and some customer service training. Overall it was good.
Elisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Decent hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan

Some issues with cleanliness of our rooms at check in. Fake eyelashes stuck to the lamp, visible dirt on the floors, etc. Requested rooms to be cleaned and they were while we went to dinner. Overall stay was average. Hotel is older but location was nice. Short 1 min walk to the beach.

Love it!

1960s styling of the hotel is great, the staff are friendly and professional, and the location on the lakeshore by the nature reserve is fantastic. The swimming pool was being refurbished, but other than that it was the perfect stay.
Stuart, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not clean

Room we were offered had spider webs and at least 7 spiders in them. Egg sack on the ceiling. One web had about 50 dead bugs in it. Bathroom vent slats were covered in a thick layer of dust. It had obviously not been cleaned in weeks. We insisted on a new room and were given one, which was clean. Front desk staff was very helpful.
Lauri, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was mostly friendly. Complimentary coffee in the lobby would have been helpful. $19 for the breakfast buffet was excessive. I wanted to enjoy the outdoor portion of this hotel and property the morning of my stay, but the party on the patio from the night before was not cleaned up, so every table was sticky and had empty bottles and glasses all over them. The beach was littered with beer cans and various liquor bottles. The AC didn't seem to work well. The whole place was generally warm and muggy.

This place is such a gem! Its literally on the beach! Always a great time and tons of food nearby!
Clinton, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only thing I did not like was we were supposed to have a room facing the lake and we had to look over the building and sculpture to partially see it.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Staff

The air conditioner in our room leaked, and staff went out of their way to make us comfortable, including fixing the a/c, cleaning and drying carpet, and bringing in a staff member’s large personal air purifier as I have mold allergies. The hotel was sold out for the holiday weekend, or they would have given us another room. Also said they’d refund 1 night of our 5 night stay.
