We were here off season so pretty quiet but perfect for what we needed. Able to walk downtown to restaurants. Visited near by Indiana Dunes National and State Park.

Other than the train proximity and the terrible bed, your room was excellent. Shower was excellent. Room was extremely clean.

The property is within an easy walk of the gorgeous beach. An interesting historical area and a history museum are near. A fine brewpub is within an easy walk.

Nice place
Clean and comfortable. Suite had a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. Coffee packs provided but you might want to bring better coffee and filters. Nice have coffee on the balcony in the morning, or a drink in the evening. We'd stay again if visiting the area.

The room was clean. Staff was helpful and communicative.
Quiet area, at least during off season. The deck area was nice. Short walk to the lake front, about 15 minutes. Lots of dining options within walking distance.
Could use a bigger tv for night time relaxation.

Good family option
Very pleasant inside. Kitchen worked well, but amenities very basic. Bathroom was great, lovely tub. Mattresses were saggy. (Look into Purple mattresses for a good replacement.)

This property was clearly built for this purpose and not a retrofit. It was clean and well equipped. Not in the heart of things but very close (small town) and quiet. Will be back. Thanks

Home style hotel
I would say this Bridge Inn is more like B&B style or maybe we stayed there off-season. The restaurant on site was closed and looked nobody there. The staff sent us a room code for entering our room. After we settled down in the room, everything felt like a home. Even in the very cold day, the room temperature was cover every corner. The owner of this property was thoughtful even providing 3M earbuds for us because the train were passing. Overall it's a nice stay.

Check in process was simple - everything prearranged with personal numeric code for access to the room. The suite was clean, well appointed, and beds were comfortable. Two single beds in our room - don’t know if all the suites are like that. The hotel is in two buildings, obviously converted - sit near an old bridge near the shore (hence the name). The windows were OK but not much of a view (but not a deal breaker). New Buffalo is a short 10 min drive away (we were visiting family there and that’s why we stayed). I would definitely stay here again.

It was awesome! The room was spotless! I don't normally take baths at hotels but the huge tub was spic and span so I got to soak my tiredness away that night. Since a bigger room with a balcony was available they upgraded us to it, complimentary,and checked us in early! We were worried about the train and big but it was fascinating to watch and the noise didn't bother us at all ! Wonderful place to stay.

"All Aboard!"
The accommodations were fantastic and the suite was quite clean. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchenette and bathroom were nicely stocked with necessary items.
The only negative comment has to do with the trains that run directly behind the building. The sound of the running
train, the whistle and the alarm happened several times in the evening and once in the morning. Thank goodness they don't run through the night.
Overall, a cozy stay.
