Great stay with marvelous restaurant
We thought the hotel had a good room with separate bedroom, which was nice. Everyone was friendly. The surprise was the great restaurant! Interesting menu, and fantastic taste. Highly recommend. Wait staff was terrific!

Fine hotel overlooking Silver Beach
Location - on the bluff above Silver Beach - meant that much of St. Joseph's tourist draws were within walking distance. The Inn itself was very nice, a tad dated but still in fine condition. The Bistro restaurant was pricey but fine food - esp the omlette. (They also make the cookies available in the lobby in the afternoon.)
Only one quibble - we were going to be interviewed for TV news, we asked if we could use the library for 20 minutes or so, but when we came downstairs we saw a hotel employee setting up for a vendor interview there. Asked if the employee was aware of our request - and were told that they wouldn't 'kick anyone out' unless we were paying for the room. Which was fair, but when I was in the hotel business a guest request always trumps an employee's use (especially when the restaurant is available for them instead).

Hotel is beautiful, rooms are spacious. Staff is great! Bed is rather hard and the pillows are harder.

A Must Stay in St. Joseph, MI
First time staying at the Boulevard Inn & Bistro... Friendly and helpful folks at the front desk and Bistro. Rooms and views are amazing. We had a park view suite and you can see for miles. Great location to all the activities if you even want to leave. The suite was appointed nicely with plush towels and bedding.
The Bistro menu was creative with Elk and Antelope to mention a couple... The food was outstanding.
We will definitely be staying here again!

The location was very close to Lake Michigan and our corner two room suite had amazing views. The suite was clean and quiet. The Bistro restaurant had amazing food. Our only complaint would be the old, noisy elevators. We did have issues with our door catching making it hard to open. We did alert the front desk so that maintenance could address. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
