Red Roof Inn Benton Harbor - St Joseph

10/10 Excellent

"The service was good and the people was ok."

Hilton Garden Inn Benton Harbor/St. Joseph

4/10 Poor

"I reserved a Double Queen Suite which sleeps 6. The photos showed 2 queens plus a pull out couch in an adjacent room. What I got was 2 queens and in the adjacent room a live seat which was not a pull out. I attempted to call the front desk from the room phone… which had no dial tone and turned out not to be connected to anything… apparently just decorative. I called the hotel on my cell.. I was told that the property has NO pull out beds, and that they have NO CONTROL over what Expedia advertises. He offered me sheets for the love sofa, and said they were totally booked, there was nothing he could do. My son in law went down and got an additional room… so we paid for the 3rd bed twice. Not at all a good experience."
