    I feel like if one was looking for alot of privacy or to freely let go and be loud, this is not the place for it.

    Quiet, homey and convenient

    We didn't know the restaurant and bar was closed to be rennovated but it didn't matter in the longrun. We enjoyed our visit regardless!

    This place is a little slice of heaven. They are very dog friendly and everyone staying there had a furry friend in tow. We loved everything from the cute and cozy room to the basement where there was a TV and board games. My husband was still able to watch his sports games while my daughter and I played games. Gary, the front desk clerk is a gem in himself! We loved talking with him and he gave us THE BEST advice where to go. We were only in Union Pier for 3 days but it was a memorable three days for sure!

    We loved that it was in a quiet area, and so peaceful. It's. A great place to spend time with your spouse, sitt by the fireplace and read, it take a walk on the private beach.The staff were very nice too. So much more character than a chain motel. We loved our stay celebrating our 41 wedding anniversary. Perfect ☺️

    The only thing I would say I “didn’t like” and it wasn’t a huge deal that it’s worth complaining but the stairs are small steps. Nothing being careful and slow when going up or down won’t solve.

    The history, the story each wall, door, and window tells. The staff were friendly and helpful. Wonderful accommodations such as the communal fridge, the ice machine, basement with board games etc., the ability to use bicycles to ride down to the beach, the beautiful back yard, access to the lovely fire pit, fire wood provided, the option to order breakfast, the option to purchase water/ pops from the mini fridge inside the lobby.

    Room was very small, with only one chair. Nice common area with seating to read, eat, etc. So don't expect typical hotel privacy.

    Breakfast ($6) was exactly as described, including a muffin from local bakery. It's an old building, a guest lodge from the 1920s. Charming, but be prepared for small rooms and basic bathroom. Ice and a fridge you can use in the lower level common area. Private beach a 5 minute walk away, then down the bluff stairs. Many very decent restaurants awake or short drive away. Great location.

    We visited for the weekend and really enjoyed our time there. If you’re looking for a low key getaway to disconnect and enjoy the private beach, this is place for you. We ate at the restaurant at the Inn both nights and the food was really good. Beach access is a 5 minute walk and the area is very safe.

    The limited in-house dining options. I didn't realize there would be absolutely no phone service but we managed.

    Staff was eager to assist us when we checked in. Arturo (sp) was especially nice, helping with our bags in the rain. I enjoyed the rustic feel of the old inn. The Wi-Fi was great.

    The shower water temperature fluctuates hot to cold, at least in my room, it seems based on other water usage in the building—which is understandable as it is an older property.

    Really nice location in a quiet area, beautiful neighborhood and beach access. They offered a good value breakfast that gets delivered in the morning in a cute basket. Very helpful staff.

    The rooms are very old and outdated. Water pressure is low. Taking a shower is a tricky task since any other water movement affects the water temperature. The bathroom is very basic and small. The room is also very small and it would've been better if there's a desk or some other additional furniture.

    The location is great since it has access to the private beach, which isn't overly crowded.
