This a very beautiful old Mid Century Modern hotel. Absolutely stunning views of Lake Michigan. Hotel is under new management. Holly the new GM was great. Had a wonderful conversation with her when we went to dinner at Nolan restaurant in the hotel. Dinner and breakfast were very good. Keep in mind this is a very old hotel and needs alot of maintenance yet to be done. Pool is currently being refurbished with no date as to when it will be done. Room was a bit musty/moldy smelling. You can tell they are working hard to make things better. We stayed in January. Hoping to come back in August to enjoy the wonderful private beach area.

The property has been updated and the decorations are beautiful, representing the local nature. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will return once the full renovations are complete. The trails at the Dunes and walks along the beach and campground are so delightful. The beautiful scenery of Lake Michigan, the deer, the sunrise, and the variety of plant life in the Dunes is a real treasure!

Where do I start. Room was dirty, housekeeping didn't come my entire stay. I had to go to the front and ask about their service. The front desk/management were rude. Room/halls smelled of too much chlorine. I saw a bug in the room, notified management/front desk...no help. Ended up leaving and going back home. A waste of my time and money. They wouldn't give me a refund. I notified my travel agent, who helped me greatly. Rec'd from Client

Illinois State Beach Hotel

This was our 3rd time staying here. We loved it from the very beginning. It is one of the very few hotels with views of Lake Michigan from your hotel room. The rooms have always been spotless and disinfected beforehand. The showers have fantastic water pressure. Their towels are huge. Honestly, I'm nit-picky and I never have anything to nit-pick.
