Lilac Tree Suites

A lovely classic hotel in the heart of Main Street. The room and bathroom were recently updated. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Just so relaxing to sit on the balcony and hear the clip-clop of the horses. It takes you back in time. Easy walk to a number of good restaurants and bars.

We stayed here for the Lilac Festival and really enjoyed it. It's centrally located right in the middle of Main Street, so not too far to walk either to Marquette Park/the fort (and then further down the marina to the Mission area), or in the other direction towards Windermere Point and the boardwalk. Plenty of nearby restaurants, fudge shops, both ferry docks, the bike rentals, etc. Our room was very charming - there were 6 of us and we had a room with a bedroom with 2 queens for me, my husband and our two kids, and then a little sitting room that had a pull out couch where my mom and sister stayed. This also had a balcony overlooking Main Street and even a bit of a lake view if you looked out. It was a great place for people watching (although sometimes a little noisy) and watching the parade on the last day of the festival! Both rooms were decorated in a very charming way - ours had a blush pink/spring green theme and our beds were soft and comfy. The sitting room had a little kitchenette area (sink, fridge, microwave) and a coffee maker with plenty of pods. They were separated by a spacious bathroom area with two sinks and plenty of counter space for all of us, and a bathroom with a full tub/shower. Even the lobby, elevators and hallways are all very nicely decorated, everything with a floral and lilac theme. Overall it was comfy and relaxing, although my mom did say the pull out couch was very uncomfortable. For future nights she slept on the couch cushions on the floor (my sister was fine with the pull out). We also enjoyed using the outdoor hot tub over at the Chippewa a few blocks down the street, but it is kind of annoying making that walk (especially coming back!) but the hot tub is large and right on the marina. One of the nights it was quite hot but the other it was barely bathwater temperature. There's no food/restaurant onsite, but we did purchase breakfast tickets for the Pink Pony for one morning (attached to the Chippewa) and that was fantastic.

Super, sparkling clean rooms. Lobby and hallways were always clean as well. Very comfortable in every way. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great views from the balcony, conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend.
