Fairview Beachfront Inn Charles from Dayton stayed in September 2021

It is an older property but our room was very satisfactory. We enjoyed being right on the lakefront. It was a little inconvenient that the office at the Fairview was not open so we had to go to the office at the Quality Inn next door. The breakfast was very disappointing. The staff was helpful in booking discount tickets to various attractions.

Blue Water Beachfront Hotel
Fairview Beachfront Inn Crystal from New Ulm stayed in August 2021

The views were absolutely amazing. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. The hotel could use a little TLC. I think they may of been a little understaffed. The Wi-Fi was none but it gave us some time to unplug. Over all I would stay there again. The beach and the view and proximity to everything won us over.

Blue Water Beachfront Hotel
Fairview Beachfront Inn Rhonda from Eaton Rapids stayed in August 2020

The room was clean and the view of the lake was amazing. Pool stayed open later than normal, but no water park and breakfast because of covid. My only 2 complaints would be: 1. Asked to check in early which most hotels will allow if the room has been cleaned or was not rented out the night before and 2. Asked if we could pay additional for a 2 hour later check out. Both of the answers were no. Stated sorry check in is at 4 and check put is at 11 as we have a busy week lined up as we are booked. Other than that, everything was good and I would probably stay there again.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Tamera from South Lyon stayed in August 2020

Well, it didn’t start out well. The receptionist seemed to have an attitude. We tried to check in at 2 and she was having no part of that. The rooms were clean, but could use a little updating. Our view was so beautiful. The beach was nice and it was great for walking to the pier and restaurants. The location was great.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Jacqueline from Winamac stayed in October 2019

We were very pleased with our stay. Because we were late in the season, the manager upgraded us to a lake view at no extra charge. They were great with recommendations and even made arrangements with the hotel next door to cover for their temporary mechanical problem with the pool.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Nicole from Flat Rock stayed in August 2019

Very nice hotel. The women in the office was very friendly and so helpful on multiple occasions. Our last night we had an issue and was moved to a new room no problem. The issue was something so little as the screen of our balcony broke so we were moved right away so that we can enjoy having our door open and watching the beautiful view. I highly recommend.

Wonderful beachfront view. The room was clean. The beds were very comfortable. Staff was nice. My only complaint was the heater sounded like an airplane engine when it kicked on. Other than that, my stay was very pleasant. Would definitely come back.
