While the hotel had a beautiful view of Lake Michigan, the overall experience was quite disappointing. The room I stayed in was dusty, had cobwebs, and was located near noise sources like the cafeteria and elevator. The facility was reasonably priced for the location, but I was left longing for a more comfortable stay.
