What an enchanting experience. I wish we could've spent more time enjoying this B&B. The rooms were simple yet beautifully decorated. The ambiance of the building embraced history and was as if we stepped back into time. We chose to stay here because of the historical significance of the building itself. It served so many roles. The owner was a delight and so wonderful to chat with in the morning. It was clean and cool (seeing as we are in the middle of summer). Breakfast was served at 9AM in the morning and was delicious. French toast, fresh fruit, sausage, blueberry pound cake. They have tea and coffee as options. The pool was small but serene. Location was phenomenal - all shops were walking distance within 4 to 10 minutes. Highly recommend staying here. read more

Beautiful property in a perfect location in Downtown Saugatuck. Extremely clean and comfortable with the nicest, customer focused employees you could hope for. The owner is a delight to chat with as she interacted with guests at breakfast each morning to get to know each other. And speaking of breakfast, what a treat! Always delicious and beautifully presented. My wife and I always stay at Maplewood Hotel each time we visit Saugatuck. read more

We had a lovely stay here. The location is close to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. There's a small pool for guests which was nice to use after a day of walking around town. The breakfast was very good (quiche, fruit, yogurt, and pastry) with coffee/tea/water in the common areas along with snacks. Staff were pleasant and helpful. read more

Well appointed, very clean. Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Close to everything. A+

We stayed at the Maplewood Hotel for our son's wedding weekend and had an incredible experience. Our whole extended family was there--grandparents, kids, even our 9 month granddaughter--and everything was top notch. Clarissa was amazing! She managed our ever-changing reservations over the course of a year (seriously, a million changes) and took care of us so kindly throughout our stay. We also had the chance to meet the owner, Katherine, and truly appreciated her interest in our family and the wedding. The hotel is beautiful, the breakfasts were delicious, and the location couldn't be better--right in the heart of downtown Saugatuck. We could walk to shops, restaurants, and everything else the town has to offer. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again! read more

Lovely boutique hotel right in the heart or Saugatuck. Our room was comfortable and quiet, and the breakfast each morning was superb, French toast one morning and eggs Benedict the other. We would recommend this establishment and would stay there again next time we are in the area. read more

I have never stayed in a bed-and-breakfast before... Maplewood Hotel was such a lovely experience!! Located in the heart of downtown walking distance to all the lovely shops and restaurants! It was such a bonus. All the rooms are uniquely designed with the old-fashioned decor, If walls could talk in this lovely hotel! The place smelled amazing, there was beautiful music playing to just put you at a place of comfort and peace! You truly want to sit in one of the special rooms throughout the hotel.. all decorated so cozy with lovely antiques! Our room was so comfortable and roomy! The staff was amazingly kind, very attentive, yet never both some. The first morning we were at breakfast in the darling sunroom with tables, Catherine, the owner came by to talk to each guest. She was lovely and you can tell she just adores her business and the people staying there. The breakfast was absolutely delicious!!! Homemade fresh blueberry pancakes with fresh bananas, fresh fruit and yogurt and homemade bread. The next morning was a beautiful toasted croissant with the egg Benedict thick, applewood, bacon, and fresh spinach. It was such a treat. Absolutely delicious!!! included in your stay. So wonderful to talk to people staying there finding out where they're from & their life story I will never forget the experience! There's a store directly across the street, a lovely yoga studio & a company that rents paddle boards and kayaks! Such a peaceful serene experience to paddle on a beautiful calm lake..surrounded by beautiful homes and the most loveliest trees I've ever seen. It was such an experience and beautiful weekend. I've been to Saugatuck three times and Maple Hotel is my absolute favorite now!!...I will definitely stay here from now on. Thank you so much for the unbelievable memories and stay at your lovely hotel . read more

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's 50th birthday in Saugatuck! The Maplewood Inn was so charming and was perfectly located for walking to shops and restaurants. Their included breakfast was delicious , staff was very kind (even leaving a birthday card for my husband!) and it was quiet despite being in the heart of the town. We'll definitely be back in the future! read more

If you're visiting Saugatuck, this is definitely the place to stay at! It's surrounded by the downtown shopping and restaurant area so very walkable. I came during the off-season during a snowstorm and enjoyed curling up in front of my room's fireplace but can also see how great it would be to also stay here in the warmer months to enjoy a livelier atmosphere. Bonus points for the huge bathtub, and also meeting Catherine, the owner. She was a really sweet host and made me feel very welcome in her beautiful hotel. read more

You can expect a vintage room/bathroom, that goes with the charm of these old homes. BUT, the breakfast here was a joke. The "Avocado Toast" was ridiculous. First, the bread was not toasted (or barely). The avocado came straight from the refrigerated section of 7-eleven ... it had that awful taste you know when it is not made fresh. The spinach was raw, which might have been ok if you had some egg yolk, but the eggs were cold and cooked yolk hard. They just mailed it in on this, no effort. AND, to start they serve some fresh fruit (OK) with a plastic cup of yoplait yogurt ... wow! read more

This was like staying in a mini mansion. Everything was historic with antiques. It was like our own home with many different sitting areas. The breakfast was absolutely amazing apple cider pancakes, one morning and eggs Benedict next can't wait to stay here again. read more

Our favorite Bed and Breakfast. It is very clean and the location is great. it is close to shopping and restaurants. staff is wonderful. We highly recommend it. read more

At $340 per night on a weekday for a "suite" (just a king size bed with a whirlpool tub), I think it's reasonable to expect clean bedsheets and bath towels free of old stains and South facing windows to have blackout curtains, or any curtains for that matter. Or at least clean windows without dirt on sills. And an AC that's actually capable of cooling down the room, not just making noise, or a ceiling fan that you can actually operate as a fan independently from the light. Bathroom amenities are pitiful: limited worn out towels, one tiny shampoo bottle and no conditioner - ugh. A decent location and friendly staff but the overall impression of the historic hotel property is not good, run down and at times just plain gross and filthy (badly stained carpet and dirty tiles). This hotel is in dire need of new blood, better management and updates worthy of its history and modern needs; otherwise, this is nothing more than a $65 per night motel pretending to be something else and milking its legacy. Worst tourist trap. read more

Lovely experience at the Maplewood. The hotel has the romance of centuries past along with modern amenities. The common areas of the hotel are perfect for hanging out as your party gathers before going out. Breakfast was great. Check-in and check-out were super easy. It's walkable to everything in Saugatuck. I would definitely stay again. read more

Wonderful visit. Great breakfast. Staff is very gracious. Second time visitors

I really enjoyed my stay in this wonderful historic, cozy and comfortable inn. Very clean and quiet with extremely friendly owner and staff that was very accommodating. It was off season and would definitely stay at the Maplewood again. I highly recommend this property. read more

Always a pleasure staying at Maplewood. You never have to get in the car again during your stay. Everything is walking distance. Have been coming for the last 8 years. read more

Such an Amazing treasure. Everything about our stay was top notched! It was like a home away from away, but peaceful. The service is top notched and we felt like Royalty. Katherine and her team provided concierge like service and took care of our every need. There was such a camaraderie within the house amongst all the guest which was fostered by the staff. My room was nicely decorated and surprisingly quiet. A great location and a wealth of resources from the staff and owner made our first visit to Saugatuck a memorable experience. We will definitely return! #IloveMaplewoodInn. read more

A historic and beautifully updated and renovated downtown hotel. The location puts you close (but not too close) to downtown nightlife, as well as to shops and the waterfront. Lovely rooms and common areas. The breakfast room and adjacent screened porch is a treat. Not a "cookie-cutter" hotel in any way. A memorable stay. Very friendly people, with the owner on hand. I recommend you try it, especially if you're bored with ordinary hotels and want something a bit nicer than most bed and breakfast places. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. The staff is super shady. My parents made a reservation and were unable to use the weekend. They tried to cancel but couldn't due to the cancellation policy. That's fair- so my mom and dad told my husband and I to use the room. They called the hotel and told them we would use it. They front desk staff confirmed that this was fine. We arrived and they had sold the room!! Not only were they collecting my parents money, but they re-rented the room! They scrambled and called the manager and after a while were able to put my husband and I up in the last room left, which was supposedly an "upgrade." This "great" room didn't even have a bathroom door. Seriously? We only ended up staying because this place was so weird. My parents disputed the credit card charge (since this place gave away their room)- and the hotel is fighting it! So ridiculous. Don't stay here. Spend your dollars elsewhere. My husband and I travel frequently. This is by far the worst hotel treatment we have ever received. We will NOT recommend this to any of our friends. read more

We love this place. Very clean friendly staff and right in the middle of the shops and only a block to the water. We have been staying at The Maplewood for over 13 years. read more

I had a Groupon so I did not pay full price. I paid 250 for two nights on a suite ... good deal! without the groupon not sure I would have gone there. The room was nice and large. Very clean and updated. Breakfast is included but its not a B&B ... We ate there and we ended going to a local breakfast place: Ida's cottage house?! its on Butler street, very good. The good thing about the hotel is the location, close to everything yet quiet to relax. So if you are willing to pay 180 bucks per night for a nice room and location then this is the place for you ... They do have WIFI but its very slow ... read more

Great for a weekend getaway! Came here from the Chicagoland area with my girlfriend to celebrate our two year anniversary. The staff and owner were very nice and accommodating, and the room and hotel were very clean. There was also free coffee and breakfast in the mornings, and a free wine tasting coupon for a nearby winery. Speaking of things nearby, the entire main downtown area of Saugatuk is within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this place to others who like the bed and breakfast scene and are looking to spend a relaxing weekend away from the city. read more

This place is absolutely beautiful! The staff is very friendly, the food is awesome. The owner was so personable with everyone. Wonderful place to visit. Will definitely be back again and again. Right in the heart of downtown. Did not have to drive anywhere! Love it! Z. read more

Had an excellent stay over Memorial Day weekend. Cozy bed and breakfast and great location . Park next door for kids . Staff helped with dinner reservations and excursions . Snacks provided during the day . Highly recommend- would definitely return ! read more

Good location, can walk to most restaurants , and shop. parking not plentiful , scarce at busy times. Probably same for other inns in town.

Always a treat to stay at the Maplewood. This quaint hotel has just been newly renovated and looks fabulous! The staff is first class . Clarissa is always a joy. This was our first getaway since March. We love Saugatuck and the kind people . Looking forward to our next visit and stay at Maplewood! read more

What a dump!!! and loud noises from trucks at the post office next door woke us very early. There are MANY better options in town.

Beautiful historic facility right in the heart of saugatuck with endless attention to detail. They are so thoughtful and know how to make you feel at home and make you feel special. Breakfast is always a treat. read more

If you don't mind an extremely stuffy, musty room, an old water stain on the ceiling above your bed, mold in the shower, broken window coverings, or people walking around loudly all night, this is the place for you! On the upside, the location was perfect and the staff was very pleasant. read more

The best place in Saugatuck we've found. We love the old place and found everything comfortable. We were cautious about staying after reading some reviews but found them WRONG! Place is comfortable, even if some of the rooms (like ours) is small. Food was great, lemonade and ice water were wonderful, dish of nuts, etc, etc. The breakfast was excellent and all the seating areas were great. At 90 degrees outside, it was comfortable indoors. We'll love to come back in Autumn. read more

Stayed 3 nights at the Maplewood hotel over Labor Day weekend. The hotel itself is lovely and very clean. However, when it's 88 degrees out, I find it a bit odd that they do not air condition their common areas at all, with the exception of the restaurant. The room was quite small, allowing you to walk around a queen size bed. Although to be honest, we're not sure that it actually was a queen size bed. The sink is in the room, and the toilets and very tiny shower stall were in the bathroom. In the mornings they offer coffee, fruits, yogurt, and cereal. It wasn't anything that we wanted, so we went out for breakfast every day. The best part about the hotel is that it is within walking distance to everything. It's right on the edge of all of the shopping, so parking seem was easy. read more

I would give zero stars if possible. The overall B&B was nice and a good location in town. Additionally the staff was nice enough. It was the owner who was completely and utterly disrespectful and rude right off the bat. Considering a rate of $300/night we should have at least been greeted in a kind manner and asked how our stay was at the end. I called ahead and requested an early check in since we drove all the way from NC with our 2 month old daughter. When we arrived with our arms full of diaper bags, our stroller, and luggage, the owner came to the door before letting us in scolding us that check in is at 4pm. She questioned me when I told her I was promised an early check in and didn't even help us in the door. She was complaining about a broken pipe and began yelling at her staff member. On another occasion she yelled at my husband about our stroller completely inconsiderate of the fact that our daughter was napping. We were treated so poorly during our stay that I cannot recommend this place to anyone. Terrible experience. read more

Fantastically, quaint bed and breakfast experience. Even on this off weekend in Saugatuck, the gorgeous weather and attentive staff made this a wonderful time. We were greeted by a wonderful woman who provided us with a quick run down of the hotel and offered us a room. Immediately we were moved by the hospitality and care from her. While wifi is not the best here it does work and I would argue that there's something to be said about a weekend escape where we can unplug. We spent our night out on the town and by the fire before finishing up in the room with some DVD's from the DVD library downstairs. We received a nicely done, hot breakfast including some tasty, quiche and banana bread before heading back home to Chicago. I would recommend Maplewood Hotel for anyone as it's a great time to unplug and get away. read more

Great location. The room we had was a king suite with whirlpool. It was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great and the staff was excellent. The hotel is upkept and it shows with the details. We would stay here again next time we visit. read more

Spendy but sweet. Nice location, walkable to everywhere with easy street parking. Fireplace in the room and a large tub was great for our visit. read more

Beautiful decor, clean. However, this hotel backs up to the local post office where a daily 4am and 6am delivery involve people yelling at the top of their lungs, banging/dropping and a full throttle disrespect for guests sleeping. Was so completely exhausted after 2 days of this, needed a rest when I returned home. I would not recommend the Maplewood Hotel. read more

Had a great time! Can not wait to go back! Room was vary clean and the bed was comfortable. Loved the European continental breakfast. Staff was vary friendly and helpful. read more

The location of this hotel is terrific, but, for the love of God, buy a new mattress! I could not sleep on the lumpy old mattress so my stay in Saugutuck was a little tainted. read more

The best feature of the Hotel is Location! The hotel is extremely clean and well appointed. Staff was polite and helpful, the owner even stopped by our table when she saw us at a restaurant in town one night to say hello. We had the mid size room and I'd hate to see a small room. The room had a king bed and 2 chairs and a small round table, the bathroom was cramped. Our room was in the rear of the hotel (2nd floor) and right next to the central air conditioning unit and was very cool enough, enough so we had to get an extra blanket. It was extremely hot weekend, so not such a bad thing. Guess that's better then having bad a/c and too warm. The pool/patio area is small but very pleasant, we spent our first evening in the Gazebo reading and having wine and cheese. Second day after shopping and looking around we went for a quick dip in the pool. Again area is small and if it had been busy - could have been a problem. I'm only giving it 4 stars because of the price ... at $280+taxes a night for the size of the room..ouch! But maybe I'm out touch on costs during high season at a resort town. read more
