It was lovely to have a hotel stay that is friendly for kids right on the beach of Lake Michigan. Illinois beach hotel is a historic building that is well kept up and the rooms were comfortable and very clean. I was impressed with the nice mattresses, clean sheets and soft towels. The view from our balcony was beautiful and made for a memorable stay. The restaurant had a menu with a good variety (invluding vegetarian and GF options) and everything was well made and fresh (not frozen). The wait staff at Nolan's were hustling to serve us at every meal and made for a nice experience.

Unique hotel with excellent location and sandy beach access that is somewhat separate from the public area. Nice trail system but bring some Deet spray for no problems. The place is being renovated with some construction here and there but the room was clean with nice furnishings, with a spacious lobby and a large room for events. Balconies and exterior could use some attention but we enjoyed the hotel thoroughly and we will return. The excellent staff were very helpful and all were patient and engaging. Some small fixes and easily a 5 star stay.
