Shore Club

Nice location. The property is in the village so shopping and dining are within walking distance. The property has a private beach with seating. The Tiki bar is between the beach and the outdoor gated pool area which is nice. Towels were difficult to get. They do not want you using any hotel towel for the indoor or outdoor pool, let alone the beach front. I didn't pack for that so it was a little inconvenient. Drinks were good at the Tiki bar, go anywhere else for food.

Loved the location for its proximity to Road America for the Indycar race weekend. Enjoyed the beach access to the lake and the cute tiki bar. We used the indoor pool and game room with our 9-year-old son. The complimentary breakfast in the lobby/office area was nice but basic. It was super easy to walk to anywhere in downtown Elkhart Lake. The room was nice and comfortable. Only minor complaint is the sliding door on the bathroom would not stay closed on its own which made privacy when you needed it a little difficult. We figured out how to stuff a sock in between the door and the wall to get it to stay closed all the way! We'd definitely stay again.

The place is great and you can’t beat the location, but there is no soundproofing at all. I could hear the conversations in the next room over like I was in the room with them. This means everything your neighbors do, from snoring to chatting to getting down and dirty, you will get to be a part of. Every door that opens and closes and every footstep above and beside, is a chance to wake up.

Need some attention

The hotel is nice, the linen on the bed are very good. My problem was that there was nobody at the front desk to check in. We finally called the number of the hotel and a lady said she will be there in five minutes. We had a room with a king size bed but there was nothing else to sit on, no chair of any kind. Shortly after check in there was somebody above us with kids. The children were running back and forth all evening. I called the front desk to complain to see if something could be done, but Nobody again at the front desk. What is going on??????? A little later the people next to us had a party with a lot of noise, but again nobody at the front desk. When we checked out the girl at the desk said she just listened to our message and was sorry for all the trouble. I would think that after all the trouble we had they would compensate us somehow but nothing was done. If you spend $200 for a room you expect everything would be nice. Needless to say we are not happy.

Won’t Get Fooled Again

This is a case of misrepresentation. The photos that they use to show beautiful rooms with modern renovations and amenities are NOT what you see when you open your door! This place is basically an old hotel that is lucky to have a location that sucks vacationers into booking with them. Upon checkin, there is nobody there and you have to phone - there are two numbers - one that never gets answered and doesn’t respond to texts - and the other is just out of service. They charge very high room rates for a motel room with a thin ikea foam mattress on the bed, beat up furniture and baseboards and dirty linoleum from the 70s. I’m okay with “dated” properties if they are clean and well maintained. Here, the linoleum is blackened from never being cleaned properly. The ceiling fan in the bathroom is disgusting. The particle board furniture is damaged and waterlogged. It is run like a summer camp with a bunch of summer students behind the desk and serving. Things are in disrepair and could use carpet cleaning and power washing. The tiki bar picnic tables were all circa 1970s and most of the umbrellas didn’t work. The laminated menus were sticky with food and drink as they never get cleaned. Honestly, I was looking forward to having a nice stay and what I got was a dingy motel room in a timeshare resort with no services that I was overcharged for.

First off this is a quiet, quaint, peaceful place that is a bit whimsical and boutique like. The lake is beautiful and the little town is cute with the little restaurants and shops. The room was very clean. The negatives are the parking. You cannot park next to where the rooms are, the lot is reserved for other properties so you have to park on the opposite end of the building where you need a different key to enter, but they do not give you that key so that’s an issue. The beds are very uncomfortable. They need to be replaced because there are large dips in the middle of them from overuse. The food that is offered is just “okay”, it is nothing special. The best items were the pot stickers and the cheese curds. The Social and the Tiki bar both were just adequate. There were about 20-30 bees at the different tables at the tiki bar which is sort of an issue. Two of us were stung. The bathrooms at the outdoor pool are very dirty and if you want to shower post lake or pool there, good luck because the water pressure isn’t more than a sprinkle. The pools are heated and the hot tub is a nice temperature. The staff was not the most helpful, I felt like a bit of an inconvenience at times. The bartender at the social was drinking the entire time we were there which is whatever, but he was mixing up drinks and making things incorrectly. The office staff were the most helpful and pleasant of the entire property.

Dirty, poorly maintained yet very expensive.

Despite an awesome location, Shore Club is one of the worst stays I've had at any price yet I paid $375 a night. I was told I could check in early, but when I got there, they said the cable provider was doing things so we had to wait. Then they told us we can't park in the lot because it is reserved for condo owners. They pointed us towards a first come first served public parking area. We had to finds street parking in a busy resort area. The hallways were a dank dark blue and led us to our very musty room. There was no way to call the front desk because it was abandoned. The sheets felt like cardboard, the bed horrible, and lighting in the room was inexplicable poor with a range of 5000K LED desk lamps and regular incandescent which made it hard to have them all on at the same time. The room had zero character or comfort. I was awakened at 3 am by somebody stumbling around the room above us as there is no sound insulation anywhere. In the morning I had to make a pot of coffee in the "breakfast library" myself because there was no one to be found even though the sign told me to "ask front desk attendant" if something needed to be replenished. There was no maid service but I did find towels in the "CLOSED" exercise room which was converted to store clean linens and towels on the floor and piled on the exercise equipment. This is a dump taking prime rates from a captive audience attending events at Road America. Here us a typical photo you can expect.

Horrible place…

Service nonexistent. No help at the desk, just a phone number. Unkempt grounds. Only two towels, no hairdryer, no spare toilet paper, unusable soap dispensers, dirty sheets, no mattress pads, flat dirty pillows… no room service or fresh towels available 2nd day. Conversation totally clear from room next to us. Tiki bar was ant infested and food there was questionable. Paid over $600 for 2nights… expected resort type service. Heard from people living nearby that the place is possibly in forclosure or bankruptcy. Totally upset with this being on Hotels.com offering. Would like a refund.

I would NEVER stay here again. Parking is very inconvenient. Breakfast is nonexistent. However the worst part about this property is that there is NO hotel staff on premises after hours. There is a clerk who lives nearby but no one is actually at the hotel at night. On Sunday of our stay, the fire alarm went off at 8:30am. I exited the property and headed to the office. I found no one there - just a sign saying she had stepped away with a phone number. I called the number for Amber and I obviously woke her up. She mumbled that she would be there soon. Not knowing what else to do I called 911 to report the alarm. Many guests were now outside wandering around confused. The fire department arrived and began checking out the property. Amber arrived about 10 minutes after the fire department in bare feet with no urgency. She told me it was a false alarm. After the fire department left we packed up and went to check out only to find that the office was locked and Amber apparently went back home again leaving the property unattended. What if this had been a true emergency/fire?? The neglect for safety is unacceptable! How can a resort leave the property's guests unattended?? Why did their fire alarm not alert the fire department?? Unbelievable

I would like more wall hooks and shelves I never use the dressers to put my clothes in. Strange accommodations for parking I would call ahead about that.

TERRIBLE - DO NOT STAY HERE

The worst hotel experience my boyfriend and I have ever had in our lives. Paper thin walls separated us from our loud neighbors that kept us up until 5am. The shower heads had suspicious mold-like residue. If this wasn’t bad enough we woke up to ants in our bed!!! I thought I felt something crawling on me last night and that confirmed my suspicions. I am trying to contact management to give feedback and only receive voicemail. Very unprofessional.

So I went through and read all the reviews and was beginig to think I made a mistake booking here. Honestly this place is not that bad! Our room was super cute, and it may have been the off season so it was a ghost town, but that's one of the reasons I liked it! Quiet and no drunk adults or screaming kids. Was it a little pricey being off season and none of the restaurants or bars were open.... yes. But overall the location was beautiful and it's in a cute littke town. Not sure how it is in summer, but I enjoyed some peace and quiet in the fall!
