Beachy town vibes

Enjoyed taking kids here for a stop over to Chicago. Quaint beach town. Walkable but disappointed that many shops close so early. Older hotel but great space for families.

Lake Michigan get away

St Joseph is where I raised my kids. It is a lovely lakeside town that anyone would enjoy. The Boulevard Inn is a beautiful clean hotel right on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. I noted the hotel and the Bistro have been totally redecorated since I was last there. I would highly recommend the hotel, and the restaurant!

I love that they have full suites and no pool. Excellent bar and restaurant. Very nice linens, bath and bedding. No complaints whatsoever. Lake views are great, walkable to shops, museums, restaurants, and lakefront.

We were visiting town for a family emergency and booked on a night-by-night basis (as the crisis emerged) for 10 nights. The staff was very accommodating with our last-minute reservations, greeted us warmly each night, and showed personal concern for us and for our family member. They even saved us a fresh cookie when they knew we'd be arriving late! The bartenders (because we really needed a drink when we rolled in just before closing each night) were welcoming and kind. At breakfast the staff would ask for an update on our family member, offered prayers, and even wrote "get well soon" on a carry out container for her. I can't say enough about this place!
