Nice View of Lake Michigan

We had a great time. The view of Lake Michigan was awesome. Unfortunately we didn't have good weather during our stay, but the one sunset we saw was spectacular. It was very close to the downtown area, and we spent a lot of time there. We enjoyed our stay, and if we come back to the area, we would stay here again.
