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!

Jamila

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location of this hotel is absolutely unbeatable — a true 10/10. It’s within walking distance of shops and restaurants, parking was easy, and the outdoor space and landscaping were well maintained. These factors alone make it tempting to return. That said, the overall experience fell short considering the high cost of the stay. The biggest issue was cleanliness. The carpet in our room had visible stains and was so dirty that our feet turned black just walking on it. The windowsills were very dusty, and every time we opened a window, we had to immediately wash our hands. The shared restroom on the property also appeared unattended during our stay — a dirty diaper sat in there for three days without being removed. Inside the room, the bathroom lacked functionality. There was poor water pressure, no shelves in the shower for toiletries, and very little storage space overall. Lighting was also a problem: the room was extremely dim, making it hard to get ready, and one lightbulb flickered nonstop until we removed it ourselves. The bunk bed mattresses were also uncomfortable — fine for children, but definitely not suitable for an adult. In short, while the location and outdoor areas were excellent, the condition and upkeep of the rooms were disappointing for the price we paid. With better attention to cleanliness, comfort, and maintenance, this hotel could be a fantastic place to stay. Until then, it feels overpriced for what you get.

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.
