Great price for such a nice beach. Location is not walkable to downtown and the road is busy and not walkable to anything but hotel bars and restaurants. Rooms are small and floor is not super clean. They need to scrub the corners. Cookies in lobby but not offered one. Breakfast is supposed to have sandwiches but there isn’t any when we got there and we weren’t too late. Coffee should not be in the corner. It’s just too congested in the morning. Overall, great value because of the beach and it’s great price in the off season on a beautiful week.

Although the rooms are pretty small, the property's outdoor amenities filled that gap perfectly. We very much enjoyed the gazibo and the beach campfires. The staff was exceptional!

Great location

Location of the Brio is great, right on the bay. Room was large enough for a couple but would seem cramped for a family with children. Wasn’t very clean and no maid service while we were there. I would stay again because of the location but cleaning Staff should do a better job.

Friendly, attractive, lake side lodging!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from check-in to check- out. The friendly service and care was much appreciated. Our location in an accessible lower floor room made a difference. We loved our deck overlooking Lake Michigan. My only regret is that I didn't take the time to jump in for a swim!

The inn is in a nice spot, not too far from Front St (10min). Our room, unfortunately, was right next to the office. We were woken up earlier than desired by the noise they made while preparing breakfast. Not a huge deal. Going back to the beginning of our stay. Some of the room was dirty upon settling in. The bathroom floor hadn’t been cleaned. I spilled water and wiped it up and had dirt on the towel. Secondly, our bed sheets were stained and had hair in them that didn’t belong to us. I brought it to the fro my desk agent and she was very attentive to the issue and took care of it right away. When I checked out I mentioned it. I hoped he would consider discounting our stay or something to retain our loyalty. He didn’t. But he invited me back. Unfortunately, he didn’t give me much of a reason to return after I had been let down. Likes: shower, beach access, location, friendly staff, mostly clean rooms.

These rooms are not lakeside or lake view. The property is lakeside but the rooms are parking lot views! No seating outside your door and no screen door to leave door open to the tiniest room on earth. 8x10. No mirror but in the tiny bathroom. No bathroom counter space. No place to put luggage or hang clothing. No drawers. No beach towels. We were unable to get a refund for our 2nd night, as they wanted a 24 hour notice. This was 332.00/night! We cancelled our 3rd and final night, but 48 hours later as I write this review I still have not received the refund. I stopped back in after we checked out to talk to someone but no one was around. Also called several times, no one answered. Sent 3 messages, no one replied.

Check in was easy and staff was very friendly and attentive. Nothing fancy about the room but that’s ok, it did have a view of the bay which was nice. The beach was beautiful, clean and a nice place to relax/unwind and also was the sunrise. Would stay here again for sure
