The location was excellent and I think that is what you pay a lot for. The Hotel itself is tired and in need of renovations. The first room we were in, the toilet was not working and the staff did respond quickly and put us in another room with a working toilet. The continental breakfast was very scant and although breakfast sandwiches were mentioned by staff on checking in, other than toast, bagels and peanut butter and jam, nothing else. No hot portion like eggs or bacon or sausage. The bed was extremely comfortable though and had a good night sleep. And as I said, the location right downtown and walking distance to all downtown activities, amenities and restaurants and pubs. Plenty of parking at the hotel. If not for the location though, I wouldn’t pay more than half the price of what I actually paid for this hotel.

This place is top notch!
The room and view of the lake was amazing.
The bed was extremely comfortable. The balcony is very small. But 2 folding chairs fit there easily.
All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is easy and adequate. The noise level was perfect for me. I believe the rooms may actually be soundproof as I was told.

My only complaints is that it took forever to get hot water. And the cleaning staff made the hallways smell terribly strong with the odor of cleaning supplies. That odor lasted for hours.

I'm going to start off my saying I absolutely LOVE this hotel. We seen some negative reviews that I think were totally unfair. This hotel is in the process of being renovated. The pool was closed but I called and asked before I made the reservation and they told me everything upfront about the renovations and that the pool was closed. I seen some reviews talking about the breakfast, I'll say that when we checked in the guy at the front deck (who was super friendly and helpful) he told us all about the breakfast and what all was included. So no surprises when we were there. We brought our dog (huge plus) the fee was $50. Our room was clean and we was put on the 7th floor, I believe they put everyone with a pet up there because there was several other pooches up there as well but all was very well behaved! Let's not mention the price. This hotel cost less than any other in the area, you can't beat it especially with the location. It's a nice beautiful walk to the beach, passing by cute stores and beautiful parks. I can't recommend this hotel enough and we can't wait to go back!

The hotel is very clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. The parking was easy, but I suspect that is because of the time of year (off season), the parking lot seems small for the amount of rooms. The breakfast was decent and had good options, be aware that there is no hot food served. Mainly bagles, toast cereal, fruit and various breakfast drinks like juice and coffee. The condition of the hotel showed a bit of ware and tear. Our shower door kept coming off the track and the kind man at the front dest gave us another room. It does look like they are working on updates as one of the larger event rooms was filled with contractor materials. The location was fantastic, close to shops, restaurants and a quick walk to the beach. Over all my kids and I were very happy and would stay again!

Although recently reported as renovated, the work to do so was quite poor in my opinion. My TV only worked every 10 minutes and was quite old. Bathroom mirror light did not work, no bath fan. The room furnishings were outdated. My door to the hall did not fit the opening very well and you could see through to the hallway from the room. Very unpleasant odors from time to time. On the other hand the location is very good, staff was nice, breakfast was decent, and the price was reasonable. Such a shame because the area is great and the opportunity for this hotel thrive is very good. Not sure I would stay there again.

The person at the sdesk was friendly and gave me what I thought was a nice room at the end of the hall with a view of the lake. It's cool that there's a balcony you can go out on, but there were no screens so you couldn't really leave the door open for fresh air.

I sat down and turned on the TV and all I got was static. I was able to use my ipad for watching a show so I didn’t call for service. I really didn’t want anyone in my room in the evening. When I went to take a shower, ai couldn't get any hot water. It didn’t even get warm, just not ice cold after running thw water and testing the adjustments for more than 10 minutes.

The back hallway to the back big parking lot was kind of creepy. Also, the lock for that door at night is like a chain lock, so if you were out after they lock the door, you would have to go around the building to the front entrance.

Very few people there and late in the evening someone was put into the connecting room next to ours with a small yapping dog. There were plenty of rooms to offer more separation and quiet. Hotels.com did not have information that the pool was under renovation and not available. Continental breakfast was lacking.

We had a pleasant stay at the Silver Beach Hotel. We understood going in that the hotel has experienced some damage in the past and is in the process of being restored to higher standards, and our expectations were set accordingly.

The location is excellent and truly one of the highlights. Our room was simple but clean, which we appreciated. We especially loved that there was no carpet in the room — a big plus. The beds were neat, clean, and comfortable, making for a good night’s rest.

The staff was kind, respectful, and welcoming throughout our stay. One area for improvement would be being a bit more informed about local events and what’s happening around town, which would be helpful for guests.

We did experience some issues with the TV and internet, but overall it did not take away from our experience. With continued updates and improvements, this hotel has great potential, and we would consider staying again.

Clean, folded sheets were left on the bed, not put on. Bathroom was dirty with pee stain on the toilet seat and hairs on the toilet and in the sink. We immediately went down to the desk and we were given a clean room immediately. This room was much better and actually clean. The downfall, the toilet didn’t flush in that room.

The hotel appeared to be very rundown compared to the pictures on their website.

Cleanliness- decent, but our stay was 2 days and our room was not refreshed (clean towels, empty trash, make up bed, etc). Things appeared clean on the surface, but definitely don't look behind the toilet.

It snowed the day we left. While the parking lot had been plowed, the steps from the hotel to the parking lot had not been touched and were sheets of ice. I'm not sure how we didn't fall. Salting is a minimum expectation when there's snow and ice.

We decided to stay at this hotel because of the convenient location to where our daughter lives and it was easy to walk to downtown to go shopping and dining. We liked the fact that it had recently been renovated but there were a few issues that need to be addressed. First the shower pan in our room was not properly sealed and as a result the water consistently leaked all over the bathroom floor when taking a shower. In addition, the window was also not completely sealed and there was a slight breeze coming from it. On the positive side, check-in went smoothly and the front desk person was very nice and friendly. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We also had a nice view of Lake Michigan, however the people staying in the room next to ours were arguing late into the night and us from getting a good night sleep the two nights we were there. We would stay here again.

Not so great 2 stars at best. Horrible service

Will begin with the check-in process was very slow. The front desk ladies English was very broken, which makes it very difficult to communicate. Second is there is a fight on the seventh floor with a couple and pretty much woke up everybody on the second floor and kept us awake for several hours. Called the front desk. Nothing was done obviously because there was no security. You would’ve thought they would’ve called 911 but that didn’t happen either then it sleep well. Went down in the morning to talk to the receptionist to get a credit on my room and they were nowhere to be found. I just walked out and was over it because I had to get on with my day. The breakfast was frozen breakfast sandwiches and old muffins wrapped up in sandwich bags like they went and bought in bulk. Just not a typical continental breakfast at most hotels that provide free breakfast definitely subpar room was OK. The floor was filthy bathroom doable. TV reception and quality absolutely horrible just overall I would give this a two star hotel at Best. I would’ve preferred to pay more money, but it was the hotel that was nearby.
If you’re wanting a super cheap stay and you really don’t care about customer service and quality and you’re on a budget below $100 than this will work if you just need to lay your head.
