Absolute RIPOFF! This property lacked any semblance of service or hospitality- no tv, no fridge, no microwave, strange smell in room, paper-thin walls, some vague and unofficial "quiet time" that meant NO NOISE at all from the paying customers after either 8, 9 or 10pm. No staff AT ALL on site after 9pm, no assigned parking and the onsite bar patrons would TAKE YOUR PARKING while at dinner. Terrible stay, do not recommend

I like the closeness to Harbor Springs. The Bar area was cozy and the bartenders were friendly. I enjoy their conversations. The amenities were good. I’d like to have a tv in my room. I wish that breakfast options were available.

Nice hotel

The hotel was very nice. We pretty much had it to our self since it’s off season. Pool won’t be ready until summer. Cafe not available after certain hour or on Monday. I wish there was a continental breakfast included in your stay for the price. The bed was very comfortable. Awesome view of the lake.

OTIS is incredible! From check-in to check-out, our stay was top notch. The location of OTIS is perfect! The rooms are beautiful, the beds/bedding, most comfortable. The redo of this whole space is top notch! My favorite was the bar area. I named it the gathering place because you truly do walk in and feel invited, warm and welcome. Also, excellent coffee! Thank you OTIS for the best experience we have ever had! We will return!

Staff was cheerful accessible fun. The ambiance was great, comfortable too. The Birch room bed and linens were great however could use a ceiling fan or the AC units need to be able to point the vent downwards toward the bed. Loved the outdoor patio. Can’t wait to venture back next year.

The OTIS is an awesome addition to the Harbor Springs area! Not only is it beautiful and well-decorated, but it’s comfortable, the staff are so kind and attentive, and the little details are thoughtful. The rooms are cute, the beds are comfy and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay! We were a little caught off-guard with our room not having a TV or mini fridge, but we made the best of it. And the bar is literally world-class! Just overall a 10/10 experience.
