Wonderful stay for us and our friends who came from Mexico to see Upper Michigan for the first time. They were enchanted! The room had two separate suites so it fit perfectly for privacy and comfort. Absolutely excellent. Lovely staff woman.

Very rundown and in desperate need of updates. Bathroom ceiling was stained and floor in rough condition. Bedding was clean but felt dirty otherwise. Breakfast was very basic and not good. I do not recommend.

Not very clean…

The hotel itself was nice. The cleanliness was not the best. The sheets were not changed from the last people that had stayed in the room- I saw this because there was make up on the pillowcases. I called and asked for clean sheets/pillowcases and the woman at the front desk said she had no one that could give them to me. I went downstairs and showed her and she said there was nothing she could do. So I went and bought new sheets for the bed to sleep on.

Id stay again

We recently stayed 3 nights and the location was great. The room could have used a bit of TLC but it was clean overall. Special shout out to Tonice at the front desk. She was always a joy to be greeted by in the evenings when we would get back.

It’s just out dated. In my room some of the plugs didn’t work. The mini fridge wasn’t standing up straight. Was wedged in a cubby falling over. Should have screen doors on the balcony so you can leave it open.
