About this place The Saugatuck Retro Resort

The Saugatuck Retro Resort is a renovated roadside motel on Blue Star Highway, about four miles north-east of downtown Saugatuck, with a retro theme. It appears on the OUTxOUT and Saugatuck-Douglas visitor bureau lists of LGBTQ-owned businesses, and Google rates it 4.7 from about 200 reviews. It is out on the highway, so you need a car or bike for the villages, Oval Beach and The Dunes Resort, all roughly ten minutes' drive. Good value when the downtown inns are full on summer weekends.

We enjoyed not being in town in the middle of the hustle and bustle, room was clean, sheets smelled heavenly, bed was comfy and it was sweet listening to music outside while at the pool. It’s a relaxing easy environment, free coffee was available 9-11, refrigerator had a freezer, pool towels were provided and Rob directed us to the best way to see a beautiful Lake Michigan sunset. No complaints from us, it was a great little getaway.

We made a last-minute reservation here after leaving a really-not-great chain hotel down the street & I’m SO glad we found this place. I called ~9:30pm to see if they had any room available for that night & the owner Rob said he was at another location but could meet us there in 20 min. He was so kind & even drew us a map of the area with good rock beaches & the location of the wedding venue we were in town for. The motel grounds are adorable & well landscaped, there’s a nice little pool & cozy fire pit, & the rooms feel fresh while keeping the retro vibe. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay & will definitely return next time we’re in Saugatuck.

Had a wonderful stay at this charming motel! Our room was super clean and loved having all the windows. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL! Spent a lot of time lounging by the pool and listening to music Retro Rob had playing in the afternoon. So relaxing!!

Rob was a wonderful! Check in & out we’re both extremely easy, and Rob was so friendly!! He even gave a ton of helpful recommendations around the area and advice of transportation/parking! The room was honestly one of the cleanest in places I’ve stayed in and I appreciate the outdoor seating right outside the room along with the larger common space. Would absolutely stay here again!! Thank you Rob!!

Nice, clean, motel. The grounds are very well kept, the room was updated retro chic. Felt safe traveling with my tween Granddaughter we both enjoyed the stay, highly recommend!
