Comfortable furniture but the king bed was a bit old. I could feel the springs while I slept, but we slept well.

I stayed there on a Monday, and one would think for $300/night I could get something other than plastic everything at the free continental breakfast. Sure, who doesn't like free, but no glasses, no ceramic coffee mugs, and cheap plastic silverware? Cmon management, we deserve more! Weekend rates are double, so maybe only then can you bring out metal silverware for adults. Don't cheapen your brand. Get rid of all the plastic stuff please

The breakfast options were simple and good for a continental breakfast (biscuits and country gravy, eggs, pork sausage and turkey sausage, boiled eggs, yogurt, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal, and warm pastries. Coffee was very good. There is no store in the express hotel but there is a restaurant in the same property that you buy and get food and alcohol beverages. The front desk associates were kind and helpful. The swimming pool was open and available for use. Love the patio area to get some fresh air flowing through the room.

When we turned down our beds to go to sleep, our sheets on both of the queen beds in our room were covered in other people's hair and there was sand and dirt down at the foot of the beds inside the sheets as well. It was disgusting and a big shock to find. We immediately reported this to the front desk, and the staff told us dirty sheets going unchanged between guests was an ongoing issue that management knows about but has been unable to successfully address with their housekeeping staff. (In fact, an hour before we reported our issue, we witnessed another guest at the front desk complaining about finding unexpected hair and dirt in their room as well.) We were changed to the one remaining room at the property, and front desk staff came up to inspect the sheets with us before they gave us the keys. But if there had not been a room left, or if those sheets had been dirty as well, we would have been forced to look for an available room on a busy summer Saturday night at nearly midnight in rural Michigan, or get in our car and drive two hours overnight back home. We reported the issue to Hilton corporate, requested that Hilton investigate the franchisee for knowingly breaking core Hilton sanitary practices, and requested a full refund of the cash and points we had spent for that night's reservation. This is clearly an identified and repeating issue with this property and needs to be addressed. (I fully believe reviews from more than a year ago from people who found urine stains on their toilet seat.) If you choose to stay here, you probably should check your bedsheets the moment you get access to your room. But we'll never stay here again, and I really don't suggest you do either.

We had a enjoyable time at this hotel. We were traveling with our dog and needed to stay at a place…read morethat was friendly and accommodating. In addition, we wanted to use our credit card points so our selections for this weekend were slim but overall this checked all the boxes. What went well was that our room was quiet. There was 24/7 coffee/tea available in the lobby. the space to walk the dog was really nice as there were two locations on either side of the buildings. Additionally enjoyed the set up of the room and the amenities such as the body wash and the hand soap. There is some room for improvement at this location in regards to breakfast items. It was very continental and really didn't do the trick however we were able to enjoy bagels, toast, hard boiled egg and they did have a few varieties of fresh fruit. In particular, I wasn't really a fan of the pancake machine and the traditional waffle iron would be much more hardy and suitable. Overall, no major problems with our room however, the TV system is unique and sometimes it works, and sometimes it didn't often to look at Pluto versus even accessing the live channels as their entertainment system is kind of finicky. Additionally, the lotion dispenser in our room did not work, and I really wanted to try the lotion as I thought the fragrance for the body wash and hand Soap was very pleasant. Lastly, the workers at this hotel are just not very friendly. They're not rude. They're just not hospitable and that was evident from the front desk to the breakfast attendance to the maintenance person. They just were not very friendly or engaging at overall. If in this area again, I would stay at this hotel if the price point was right. overall it was a good value and close to St. Joseph while having the charm of Stevensville.

I'm not sure where to start. 1) Three high-wattage appliances plugged into a single 3-way electrical splitter (refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave). 2) Filth around the bathroom air vent. 3) The telephone on the night stand had no cord and was merely a "prop" 4) The elevator wouldn't go to the 4th floor. Our room was on the 4th floor. Think about that. 5) They ration toilet paper apparently. I think you get the idea. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless it's literally your only option, and maybe not even then. This was without question the worst value in a hotel room that I've ever experienced. They charge well over $250/night, when in fact this was not worth $50/night.
