What guests think

At Hampton Inn & Suites Manistee Waterfront, travelers overwhelmingly praise the beachfront setting with sweeping Lake Michigan views, clean modern rooms, friendly staff, and popular amenities like the indoor/outdoor hot tub, lakeside patios, and fire pits.

Breakfast is generally appreciated and the rooftop restaurant and patio bar are highlights, though some guests cite inconsistent food quality, slow service, or items running out. Common drawbacks include housekeeping only every other day, limited parking, occasional nighttime noise around the beach, and a small pool. A few guests reported view mix-ups, dim room lighting, firm beds, or higher peak rates. Expect a scenic, activity-rich lakefront stay.

The outdoor patios were so inviting with a patio bar, tons of outdoor seating, and lovely fire pits. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was so friendly. The onsite restaurant was delicious and lovely too! We will definitely be back with our family!

The location of this property is a gem!! It is in the center of a city park so if you have young children there is extra great space to play on nearby. The outdoor fire pits and restaurant, beach, lighthouses on sea walls were also fun! The only downside for us was our bathroom was not fully clean when we arrived.

The staff was friendly and check in was smooth. They knew this was an anniversary trip so gave us a 20$ voucher to there in hotel, restaurant. Also they had a bottle of wine for us in the room. The room was updated but the room was VERY dry and bed was as hard as a rock. Terrible sleep. Our skin was so dry after one night in the room. The my did not leave a cork screw with the wine so we had to get one from the front desk, again helpful staff. Breakfast and coffee was very good and diverse. Coffee 24/7 was nice. Food at the restaurant and drinks were all great! There was only 2 towels given for two people having a 2 day stay but when asked for more they were delivered quickly. The view from the restaurant is amazing. Again, service was great all around but due to the bed and very dry air I will not stay here again.

Hotel was amazing and right in lake Michigan. Very clean, staff was super friendly. The breakfest in the am was super good and coffe was actually good as well. There is a restaurant on the top floor and they have great drink and amazing truffle fries. The only downside is the restaurant was directly above our room and when they closed at 11 you could hear them dragging chairs and tables across the floor and it was very loud while trying to fall alseep. All and all hotel was great and had a good stay.

Based on other Hampton Inn's I've stayed at this one, while new & very clean, is overpriced for what you get. Comfortable bed & very good breakfast, but otherwise rather "bare-bones" -- very poor lighting in room, only one uncomfortable chair in room meant for 4 people, no glasses for water (only cardboard coffee cups), smallish towels, cheapest toilet paper, no hotel info other than by QR code on phone. Front desk personnel was very pleasant.

New very clean property. Nice breakfast in the morning. Location was wonderful. The room was very modern and aesthetically pleasing. Outside area and pool area were very nice, even thought I did not use them. Firepits, ample chairs and a great beach view. I could see with a longer stay they would be nice amenities to have. Check in was difficult and I have billing issues because of it. I was charged by Expedia for one night and charged two additional times by Hampton for the room. Currently I have 3 charges for one night and one room. Staff was not very helpful and I am still waiting on a call back for a resolution.

This place was beyond amazing. The staff were incredible. Amy was the best person iv ever met at a front desk. She was helpful and found extra swimming stuff for my son. The overnight staff (don’t remember her name unfortunately) was also incredible. My son was throwing up all night and she came to help get me everything I needed and provided extra of everything without me asking. She brought us water and extra towels to make sure my son was ok. The staff really care and understand other parents. They reassured me that they have kids and that it was completely understandable of the situation. I cannot tell you any other way how amazing they truly are. The place is clean and kept up with. The only thing I did not like is that staff were on the floor with a small brush scrubbing the grout. That is not part of their job. If they want this done then they should have someone else do it and or provide an electric floor scrubber to make it faster. It can take hours and days for them to do this. I was not happy about them working so hard doing this.

It was a very nice room with comfortable beds and a great shower. If only I could manage to go to a Hilton branded hotel that actually had conditioner. That would be amazing. It is always bone dry! This was no different. They were quick to fix the problem though. Staff was great. Breakfast was normal. They have a hot tub you can swim to the outside of. Very interesting.
