great place to stay- close to silver beach
The bed was not super comfortable but breakfast had great options. Pool area was very nice. room was clean and had refrigerator and freezer which was nice. Only complaint was the treadmill didn't work in the workout room but I am sure it is fixed now.

Best Western Benton Harbor/ St Joseph surprised me
I haven't stayed in a best Western for years. I mean at least 35 years. This stay has put Best Western back on my list of desirable options. It was clean!!, comfortable, had a good breakfast and the staff at check in and check out were all friendly. If I come back to St Joseph/Benton Harbor, I Will be happy to stay here again. Bonus they are walking distance from Walmart, Celebration Cinema and a short drive or a small walk from Biggby Coffee.

Avoid
The WiFi was down the entire time with no assistance from the staff. Was there 3 days and the trash was never changed in the hotel. The free breakfast was gross.

1 night family stay
Totally fine for a one night stay with my family. The staff was extremely polite. It’s just a little bit of an older hotel. Took a while to cool down but AC worked. I wish it was a little less expensive. Nothing was wrong just basic.

The hotel indicates they have EV charging, which was not working upon arrival. We chose this hotel for bag service and would not have stayed here otherwise.
