Top Lake Michigan Beach Hotel Reviews

Silver Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff and very helpful. There is a small restaurant and bar on-site, plus walking distance to downtown shops, restaurants and the beach. The only issues we came across was that one of rooms didn’t have a microwave and one did, the remote to the tv didn’t work and the other rooms toilet had to be fixed bc of the handle. Also only one elevator was working. We would stay again because the staff was very helpful and approachable. Plus the location to downtown and price is very affordable."
