Other than the train proximity and the terrible bed, your room was excellent. Shower was excellent. Room was extremely clean.

Michigan City little gem
The Bridge in a cute complex of buildings. While you can indeed see the bridge from all 3 buildings, it is not exactly the water view you will be looking for, BUT the place is very convenient to Indiana Dunes, the staff was great at communications, the apartment was quite comfortable and equipped with coffee, tea and even hot chocolate!
They even provided ear plugs, but the trains were not a problem so we never used them!
Loved the Paya shampoo and lotion.
While we enjoyed dinner elsewhere, I think the atmosphere alone would be reason enough to try the Bridges Cafe in the complex!

The property is within an easy walk of the gorgeous beach. An interesting historical area and a history museum are near. A fine brewpub is within an easy walk.
