We spent a great couple days at Illinois Beach State Park Hotel as a kind of mini-vacation. Located right on the shore of Lake Michigan, the hotel is a convenient, nearby getaway for us.
The weather was good - just a little warm - and the accommodations were excellent. We had a lake view room for the three of us.
We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant the first night. The food was good but the service was pretty slow. There was a wedding reception going on and it seemed there wasn't enough staff to serve the restaurant and the reception. That wasn't a problem for the rest of our stay though. Breakfast and lunch were very good. They make a great pizza that we enjoyed in our room the second night!
We spent our time on the beach, fishing at one of the park ponds and playing in the hotel pool.
It was a relaxing two days. We will have to do it again!
