When you first get there, everyone waits around the boat and outside before boarding time. There is a gift shop and bathrooms inside the office. They sell apparel and other Saugatuck trinkets. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. Once we boarded, the captain shared some safety tips to ensure all passengers had a quality experience. There are two levels of the vessel. The top level is uncovered and the bottom level is covered and is an enclosed space. The bar is located on the lower level. They played music and we enjoyed our sunset cruise through the Kalamazoo River, out to Lake Michigan and back. The waters were calm and the sunset made for a great backdrop! The dockhands thanked us for riding when we exited the boat and greeted us with a smile. It was a very pleasant experience on the Saugatuck star and we will definitely do it again!

It was fine, but I would suggest a couple of things: the bathtub had nothing on its floor and no texture so it was very slippery! Also, the furnishings are very dated and need to be replaced. The one bedroom had a king bed and a full bed in it so there was very little floor space. A sofabed would work much better. My daughter and her family stayed in the suite next door and the exterior door frame had alot of peeling paint (not great for little kids!) The pool was great and it had a hot tub which was nice to have in the cool evenings. The entrance to the place needs a light. At night you can't see it! All in all, I would give it a 3.5-4.

The property is located on the quiet side of town on the Kalamazoo River, far from the glitz and fudgery of Butler Street. The former fishery is part of a historic district, so the modest yet sturdy building was given a new life by owners Jim and Sharon Dewey who had not planned to become hoteliers. They created two upscale suites that will be sure to please the most discriminating. Sleek and STYLISH, like the saucy Miss Carolita, the suites will guarantee your family's comfort while taking care of all their needs. The property is managed on a daily basis by daughter Kerry, who ensures that the suites have fully stocked kitchens, flat screen TV's, a premium satellite package and a washer/dryer. You can also moor your yacht, my petal flowers. From the outdoor decks, you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine and cheese while watching the boats float by.
