Nice location and very quiet (at least for our stay).
Pros: walking distance to shops, grocery store, restaurants, and the beach (altho that last one is tricky in the middle of summer!).
Assigned parking. Keypad entry was handy (no keys to worry about losing!). There’s also no staff on the premises, which I had no issue with. The kitchen was spotless - so for those wanting to cook on vaca, know this kitchen will accommodate! For us, it was a perfect spot to eat our pizza from Brewsters (restaurant across the street. Highly recommend!!)

Cons: our room was off the only public seating area, on the back porch. So we had other guests laughing and chatting right outside our door while we were trying to rest. Nbd, but it could be annoying to some.
Our room was also very small. The bed was comfortable, but it would’ve been nice to have another place to sit.
Minor fixes - like the shower head could use cleaning, and the paint could stand to be touched up - would help justify the $300+ per night for that, too.

The Neighborhood Hotel is a combo of hotel and an airbnb. With the neighborhood hotel you are paying for location not amenities. The location is perfect. You can walk to all the stores, restaurants, and beach. It was a great location since we had teenagers with us. They could walk and do their own thing. I prefer the service and amenities of a hotel, but I loved the location and vibe of the neighborhood hotel. Our girls used the shed in back to have their own time and watch Netflix, etc. We stayed in the room with the queen bed and two bunk beds. I would have preferred an extra bathroom. The room is smaller than it appears online, but it worked for us. There is laundry available, which I appreciated, because they only provide one set of towels. I would have appreciated a second set of towels. A beach vacation requires more showering due to sunscreen etc, so I did have to do towels a couple times. The location was nice and quiet Monday thru Wednesday. It got considerably busier and louder by Thursday. New Buffalo is one of our favorite towns, and I think we’ll definitely stay here again!

I would have given this property 4-5 stars except for the customer service. The fire alarms went off 3 times in our 2 night stay at approx 4am, 6pm, then again at 11pm. Other guests who stayed there tried to contact someone and had a very difficult time getting through. We never did receive an answer why they went off. This is very disruptive as we were already asleep 2 of the 3 times, and it is concerning that no staff was available to figure out what the issue was.

it is very important that you read and follow check-in instructions. #1 tip

You will do a quick virtual check in and will receive codes the day of. All keys are codes you must rember and I always write it on my hand because I have been locked out without my phone.

The code is your key, and the staff is responsive if you respond to welcome text.

i also found that it is better for me to squat down at eye level with keypad otherwise I fat finger the code.

Outstanding experience all the way around. It was the first time we’ve stayed at a place that was not actively staffed and it turned out to be a great experience. The only issue we had was a lack of hot water in the shower both days - the hot water would stop for a few minutes before coming back which made our showers a bit tricky. In spite of this, we loved the room, the property, and the location.

The location of this hotel is absolutely unbeatable — a true 10/10. It’s within walking distance of shops and restaurants, parking was easy, and the outdoor space and landscaping were well maintained. These factors alone make it tempting to return.

That said, the overall experience fell short considering the high cost of the stay. The biggest issue was cleanliness. The carpet in our room had visible stains and was so dirty that our feet turned black just walking on it. The windowsills were very dusty, and every time we opened a window, we had to immediately wash our hands. The shared restroom on the property also appeared unattended during our stay — a dirty diaper sat in there for three days without being removed.

Inside the room, the bathroom lacked functionality. There was poor water pressure, no shelves in the shower for toiletries, and very little storage space overall. Lighting was also a problem: the room was extremely dim, making it hard to get ready, and one lightbulb flickered nonstop until we removed it ourselves. The bunk bed mattresses were also uncomfortable — fine for children, but definitely not suitable for an adult.

In short, while the location and outdoor areas were excellent, the condition and upkeep of the rooms were disappointing for the price we paid. With better attention to cleanliness, comfort, and maintenance, this hotel could be a fantastic place to stay. Until then, it feels overpriced for what you get.

Parking access is convenient and hotel is walking distance to all of downtown New Buffalo. Outdoor space looked lovely, but with snow on the ground not used by us. The common \"living room\" was a perfect place for a happy hour gathering or game watching.

We had a very nice stay; great location, lovely and friendly hotel. Our only issues were that there were no black out shades and curtains that were not sized correctly to cover the windows/patio door so a lot of light came in in the morning. Also we could hear everything in the room above ours. That said, we liked the concept of the hotel and it was very convenient.

The Neighborhood Hotel was so conveniently located to the beach and town so we could walk everywhere. The sunroom/shared living room was a nice place to relax after a long day of enjoying New Buffalo. The pellet ice in the kitchen was a great touch!
I would have liked a mini fridge in the room rather than the shared kitchen fridge and a small sofa in the room with the bunk beds. The room had great lighting but darkening shades would have been great.
