We had a very relaxing stay which was our goal. Loved the convenience to restaurants and the beach. All in walking distance. The room was very comfortable and the shared kitchen had all amenities to make you feel at home.

Great back area to meet others during your stay.

Top Notch!

Neighborhood Hotel was just what we needed to relax and feel the slow pace of vacation. Being a block from the main street of town was super nice for walking. The housekeeping staff were happy to help and maintained a clean and tidy environment. Security was good and private parking was awesome:). Well done!

Perfect for weekend getaway

This property is an amazing concept. Beautifully decorated , clean and contemporary spaces. Common kitchen was really handy. Parking access is convenient and hotel is walking distance to all of downtown New Buffalo. Outdoor space looked lovely, but with snow on the ground not used by us. The common "living room" was a perfect place for a happy hour gathering or game watching.

This place is so cute and comfortable. The room with bunk beds have the bunks in a little room with a door, so that's great. The bonus space in the backyard is really sweet. We watched a basketball game on sling back there with the fire going. Very cozy!
