8/10 Very good

Great location

Location of the Brio is great, right on the bay. Room was large enough for a couple but would seem cramped for a family with children. Wasn’t very clean and no maid service while we were there. I would stay again because of the location but cleaning Staff should do a better job.

Lovely stay, staff at desk were very helpful and we plan on staying again
Paige, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly, attractive, lake side lodging!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from check-in to check- out. The friendly service and care was much appreciated. Our location in an accessible lower floor room made a difference. We loved our deck overlooking Lake Michigan. My only regret is that I didn't take the time to jump in for a swim!

Brio Beach Inn is the cutest little motel that’s right on the beach. Every room has a view of the beautiful water!! We absolutely loved our stay!

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great was staff, rooms were clean, and the view was beautiful! There wasn’t much on the breakfast buffet. We just had apple/banana and a bagel. I would recommend my friends and family to stay here.
Katlynn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Pros: friendly staff and good breakfast Cons: tiny room, chose “ground floor room with lake view” but the room should realistically be listed as partial or obstructed lake view (see photo taken from window of my room).
Suzanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was small, bathroom very small, but everything was very clean and comfortable. The bed was excellent. The young lady at check in was very pleasant and she recommended several good places to eat. It was too cold to enjoy the beach but I’m sure in a few weeks it will be very nice. If we are ever this way again I would definitely stay here.
Sandra, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good but missing a little something.

Rooms are very small, but clean. Beach is wonderful!! Breakfast is free but average, they ran out of coffee to be replaced the next day when we were leaving. Coffee makers are in rooms, however, just not my cup of tea. WiFi has weak signal, went on and off. Friendly staff.
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful beach! But traffic is hard to get out of parking lot at times. Clean rooms
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was early in the season so we did not utilize the beach or the deck but it looks like it would be a great place to hang out. The second floor rooms are small. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast is more of a snack than a meal.
