Went there for a romantic trip with my girlfriend in the 2nd week of September. Although it was overcast and cold on our first evening there, we still went for a walk on the beach. The descent down the 90 steps to the beach wasn't that bad. The trip back up, if taken quickly can leave you short of breath.... More

I recently returned from a stay at the Lake Shore Resort. This is an older hotel and the rooms definitely could use an update. While the room was clean, the shower fixtures were rusty and the the door handle was a little loose and it made unlocking the door a little hard. The room smelled very musty and moldy. Thin... More

Stayed three days at this resort. The setting along Lake Michigan is one of the best I've experienced in 40 years of traveling throughout Michigan. The rooms are standard, nothing to write home about. But with a setting like this, the tranquil beach only a stroll away, and the setting sun marveling us each evening, one should not be spending...

Beautiful accomodations across the street from the bluff on Lake Michigan. Easy access to the beautiful beach. The pool and grounds are wonderful as is the sumptous breakfast buffet. Easy short drive into town with many restaurants and galleries.

The Lake Shore Resort is at heart a mediocre motel in need of significant renovation on a beautiful property. On the positive side, the beach is beautiful, the landscaping is lovely. But is seems the owners count on those positives too heavily, assuming travelers will overlook for example, the moldy smell in the rooms, the rusty metal and glass shelf... More

There is sooooo much good about Lake Shore Resort - and I've debated writing anything negative about the resort - because I really liked it so much. However, to make this site useful to travelers (and the resort owners) -- it seems like I ought to post the whole picture. So, here goes: PRO: Great location, beautiful setting, breathtaking views,... More

Pros: Best location in the area for lodging. You are literally right on Lake Michigan! The stairs to/from the beach are quite manageable if you are agile...pace yourself if you are not so agile. Dedicated chairs and umbrellas on the beach were an added bonus. Sunset views were extraordinary. The staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was plentiful and had... More

My husband and I stayed at Lake Shore in early June during the week and found it to be everything promised and more! As other reviewers have said, this is an older property that has been lovingly maintained and taken care of. The facilities and property are spotless and beautiful. The rooms, while shaped like a basic motel room, are... More

My husband and I plan one weekend a year to pick blueberries/peaches in the Saugatuck area and were so happy when we found the Lake Shore Resort, we extended our "picking" holiday to include some beach time! We see many of the same families returning year after year to enjoy the private beach, heated swimming pool, and putting green, but... More
