8/10 Good
"Staff was great. Housekeeping was so polite and welcoming. Rooms were clean and as described. The garbage cans out side were a bit rough as far as over flowing, no bags, things that hold cigarette butts were turned over and butts everywhere. Outdoor furniture was a bit rough and didn't look like it does online. Pool is way smaller than as it appears online. Coffee is made once a day and once it is gone, it is gone. They put it out at like 6 a.m. and by 7 a.m. you're lucky to get any and they will not make more even though staff is still serving breakfast in the dinning area, even if your meal says it comes with coffee."

Benton Beach House: Bike to Beach & St. Joseph River, Arcade Games, Cornhole

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, we had a good stay. The inside of the home was absolutely beautiful. It's clearly been recently remodeled, and everything felt brand new, modern, and very clean. We were impressed with how nicely the interior was done. The kids loved the arcade games and the bunk room. The kitchen is very spacious and loved the big dining table. There were a few minor issues during our stay. We noticed a few ants on the kitchen counters, and there were ant traps placed throughout the house. They didn't cause a major problem for us, but families with toddlers or young children may want to be aware since the traps are easily accessible.The biggest downside wasn't the house itself but the exterior and surrounding area. The yard could use some maintenance, and the grill wasn't in great condition. More importantly, the neighborhood wasn't what we expected. Several nearby homes appeared poorly maintained, with boarded-up windows and neglected properties, making the area feel less inviting. The home itself stands out as much nicer than the surrounding neighborhood.If your priority is having a clean, beautifully updated place to stay, this home delivers. Just be aware that the neighborhood may not be the best fit if that's an important factor in your decision."
