I loved the building itself and the way it was decorated and kept so nicely. The grounds were lovely and the attached restaurant, T-bones was X absolutely excellent. We ate outside on the deck right by the lake and it was just beautiful. I will definitely be back.

The view of the lake from my room was lovely. But the building and its furnishings are very tired. And the restaurants stopped serving food at 8 PM. But the lobby person sent me to a delicious, if somewhat sleezy, sports bar dinner a short walk across the highway.

The Staff was great and very accommodating in changing our room to a Ground Floor location once we realized we were on the Second floor and my husband has a bad knee currently. The Onsite restaurant was awesome.Crab Cakes were delightful. The pool was perfect and they do have Adult only hours from 7-10 pm which is appreciated. (As long as everyone follows the rules. You hate to be that person so please respect the rules) Complimentary breakfast daily was perfect to start your day. Everyone was friendly and would highly recommend.

Check in was smooth. Actually got a quick tour of the facilities and where best to park. Restaurant & bar looked busy but we ordered a famous pizza close by. Located right on the water, full boat docks. Beds were comfy but older, room very clean. Super close to New Buffalo & Indians Dunes.
