For the price I couldn’t believe how nice the room was. Under new ownership and fixing things up. I will definitely go back when I’m in the area.

For the price, this place was good. Overall the room was clean. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean.
The bathroom was clean as well, with the exception of the shower curtain that needs to be changed. The toilet could be upgraded as well. It was a slow flusher. You needed to hold the handle down for it to completely flush.
Again, all in all. It was nice, safe and I would stay again.

Guy who checked us in was great. He was super friendly and easy to deal with. However, I got bed bug bites all over my back from the stay.

Mostly quiet. Hotel is old and needs some upgrades. Staff was kind and friendly. Great for busy people needing an affordable place to stay in between destination activities.

Relax in Dowagiac.
A welcoming smile after a long day and a late check-in. Very helpful with local dining options. I will come back if the opportunity arises. A comfy bed with the basics ie Fridge and microwave .

Great experience
Based off of previous reviews I had no idea what to expect. We had a great stay! Bed was comfortable and room was clean. We appreciate it being a dog friendly hotel and not having to pay insane dog fees. The place is currently under renovation. Employees were all very nice. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend. Can't beat the price!

Mid-Update
This hotel is under new ownership and undergoing renovations. The outside has clearly not been updated, we were concerned when we arrived. Our room has new paint and beds, minimal cheap furniture, and the bathroom furnishings are mid-upgrade. It was good enough for a one night stop and has potential. The room was clean, which is our priority.

Clean, cold air and a comfy bed.
This was recently purchased by a new owner. If you need a clean room with good A/C, a comfy bed, good shower and toilet at a great price then this is your place. If you’re looking for the Ritz this is not your place. Room had a frig but no microwave and some things are a bit dated. But it was clean, bug free and comfy. There was a microwave downstairs that you could use. All and all we were happy and it served the purpose.

Patrons above my room arguing each night of my stay, kids running up and down hallway knocking on doors and running away. Manager was very nonchalant and not helpful for the most part. I paid good money for my jetted tub room to spend Valentine's Day with my wife and neither of us could enjoy it. I actually checked out earlier than planned due to all of the craziness upstairs and in hallway. I even asked for a refund this morning because I am not satisfied with my stay or things that transpired during my stay. One good thing is the housekeeper I think her name is shanay or something like that made sure my room was clean and amenities were available for me. I can't and won't recommend this hotel ever and again I do want a refund. I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday night listening to fighting and kids all night long,

Kudos to the employees on keeping the place beautiful and the breakfast was delicious. They ran out of coffee but the one of the gals took it upon herself to make us a pot. Now that's customer service. Most of the hotels we stayed at was not personable and attend to our needs. Keep up the good work
