Our room made up for everything else! We had a lakefront room and the sunrise was way worth the price. Breakfast was a bonus, right next to Arnold ferry, and close to the shops!

Our staff Fenton was very polite, friendly and overall a great staff member. The rooms need lots of attention as in lots of updating. The curtains in our suite need cleaning desperately as there are blood stains on the ones across from the bathroom. Overall it was a peaceful stay.

The room was not clean. Dirty Qtip under sink and filthy behind, bed by the wall. The walls were very thin, thus lots of noise. The showers were fine the first morning, but were cold the next. Lady at the desk upon checout was rude and acted as though i was making it up. Will not be back.

The room was big and beds were comfortable. The bathroom fan was loud, the A/C had a mildew odor from it (I understand being by water that it may hold humidity), the rug in the gym needs to be replaced, the washer/dryers were all out of order, and the breakfast was poor...with coffee creamers being bad. The price was good and located conveniently to the town. This place has potential and with some TLC it would be great. Overall, the place served the purpose, but would have liked to have better breakfast choices and a nicer gym. Also, the main building does not have an elevator, so if you cannot climb steps, you need to ask for a main floor or a place in the building with the breakfast room, as it has an elevator.

Beautiful view of Lake Huron Heat and AC worked quietly Breakfast was ok Plenty of parking If staying more than one night, be sure to ask for house cleaning if you want it. All the plumbing worked as expected. Bathroom was clean Beds were comfortable For an older facility, our two day stay was very pleasant.

Overpriced for the quality

Was in a “handicap accessible” room, that was NOT accessible. Would not be able to get a wheelchair from the door past the bed to the other side of the room or into the bathroom. Both sets of peep holes on the door were painted over rendering them useless to see anyone knocking on the door. The bathroom was spacious and had a jetted tub, so that was nice. The breakfast was NOT very complimentary. Breakfast hours were 7am-9am. Had to go to a separate building on the second floor to find the food that was offered: pancakes, ham slices, yogurt and bread slices. The toasting oven did not work properly so bread never got toasted. Coffee was hot but not good. Parking lot was small. The hotel did offer a discount on ferry tickets. The “Arnold ferry” terminal was a short 4 minute walk from the hotel, so that was nice.
