Illinois State Beach Hotel
This was our 3rd time staying here. We loved it from the very beginning. It is one of the very few hotels with views of Lake Michigan from your hotel room. The rooms have always been spotless and disinfected beforehand. The showers have fantastic water pressure. Their towels are huge. Honestly, I'm nit-picky and I never have anything to nit-pick.

The beach resort is beautiful with views of the beach and lake from the room (which had a nice suite livingroom where we could hang out and balcony) with park all around for hiking. If it had been a little warmer, I would have gone swimming. They also had nice areas outside to socialize. The staff was really outstandingly nice and helpful. It was wonderful.

This is a wonderful hotel right by the beach and close to trails. They did a wonderful job updating the property. The decor is beautiful, the rooms are nice, and the beds are super comfortable. You can't beat the view; we watched the sunrise over the lake from our room window. Then we had coffee on the terrace and breakfast at the restaurant. Delicious food. Unbeatable for a quick weekend getaway. 5 stars, we would absolutely be back again.

Going in October, it was 66 degrees with a breeze, so colder, which was great because the beach was wide open. Clean blue water. Clean, safe beach. No lifeguard but I am not swimming in cold water anyway. Rooms were clean, could tell was updated. Staff nice. Retinna made us feel very welcome upon check in. We will be back!
