Stayed with two kids and loved it. Yes, there are some things that need some love like holes in the wall where a towel bar was or a noisy air conditioning unit, but we were very happy staying there.

We love the location and the outdoor places to gather. We could easily get to Dunes NP or Lake Michigan to walk the beach. Having the event space and UNO’s restaurant next door made everything easy. We will be back!
