The rooms were very clean minus our balcony that had spider webs on it and the chairs and tables needed to be wiped down. But otherwise it was very clean. The check-in process was smooth and the check-in staff member was very nice and provided necessary information we needed.

We loved the views of the property and the beachfront walk out and amenities outside of the hotel itself. BUT the room was filthy and extremely out dated. There were cob webs and bugs, we had no toilet paper and our tv was not working! Also, we tried to take the kids to the pool and we couldn’t handle being in there for more than 5 minutes because all of our eyes were burning so incredibly bad. The vending machine was completely out of beverages. The continental breakfast was slim and had little to no options. The elevator took FOREVER! The light on our patio didn’t work and the patio door was broken. Our family lives in Houghton Lake and we come up every year and loved the idea of having a beachfront walk out and we could pull the pontoon up to the beach. The staff was super friendly and the maintenance guy was always walking around the yard and cleaning up the beach area! I really loved the location and beach but whoever is running that place needs to make sure their cleaning ladies are actually cleaning!

It was a beautiful beachfront view from our room, one bed was really firm and a lil hard, but the other one was a softer and more comfortable. They offer a nice light breakfast, they have fire pits on the back and have bbq grills as well.

A perfect vacation

The breakfast buffet is excellent, the hotel staff is very friendly. Our room was excellent. Clean and beautiful and right on the water. The staff is great. Can't wait for next summer so we can come back again. Perfect place for me and my daughter to stay for our vacation.

What a wonderful stay! We walked in and were greeted with a smile. The hotel was very nice and I felt comfortable the minute we walked into the room. Having a jacuzzi made my 10 year old son so excited and said “this is the best hotel ever!” Thanks for a great stay and we will definitely be back.

The staff were all very friendly and responsive. The free breakfast had a nice variety of foods to choose from and the eating area was clean and inviting. Our room had a lovely view of the lake. The beach area had many lounge chairs available and even two fire pits with chairs. We would recommend this hotel for others staying in this area.
