Top Dowagiac Hotel Reviews

Silver Beach Hotel

Silver Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"We enjoy staying here because of the convenience of the location. It was nice that the bar is now open, and we enjoyed going down for a drink, however, I believe our room was located above the bar which means the music was loud in our room (at least we assume that's what it was). The bed and furniture were nice. The room was not top notch clean, but not terrible. Although it was not listed in the room description, there was a mini refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast was very basic, but not our favorite. There were many cars in the parking lot the next morning, so there were a lot of people that stayed at this location. We would go back."

"I would have given a five star except for one thing. Housekeeping does not service your room even on a four night stay. You must empty your own trash and place it in the hall. If you want clean towels you must request them. If you want coffee for the coffee maker in your room, you must request that. I would not expect a complete cleaning and saving water by reusing towels is not heard of, but when you are staying at this level of hotel you expect a little pampering."
