Don’t trust the pictures.

Room was clean and updated with new carpet, beds, and furniture. Ground floor room had sliding doors to the outside that had NO locks and only a makeshift metal bar you had to set. Bathroom was not updated. No locks or security on the multiple entrances. Hallways, office, exterior, and breakfast area were from the 1980s. Front office guy was angry from the beginning. Breakfast room was just a converted hotel room and was too packed to even walk in. The view was very nice.

Staff were very nice and helpful. Room was clean and location/view was great. The beds and pillows were not very comfortable but our worst experience was with the room above ours. Sounded like they were coming through the ceiling when they walked across the floor which they seemed to do constantly every night and again at 2 am. We would stay again for the location and view but maybe ask for 3rd floor!

Great Place On Lake Huron

This was a busy weekend in St. Ignace with people doing color tours. We had not stayed here before, so we felt like we were taking a chance. What a great find. We had a second-floor balcony room overlooking their beach and Lake Huron looking out toward Mackinaw Island. Therre was plenty to see and people were wandering the beach. At night, and in the morning, people were lighting bonfires on the beach. This is the sunrise side of the UP so being on the beach, or on the balcony in the morning was important. They have an indoor pool, with a hot tub and sauna. We didn't take advantage of those amenities, but they were in use and looked good. Two negatives. The beds were comfortable, but they used a bed pad, and it made the bottom sheets bunch up a bit. Also the breakfast was not very good. Limited variety, mainly carbs, cereal and yogurt. No real protein. We had planned to eat out anyway, so it didn't affect us, but you should know that it could add cost to your stay if you needed to eat breakfast elsewhere. This is a three-story hotel and they do have an elevator. We have noticed more places in the UP don't have elevators, so this was a plus.

Parking area was under construction. We could not park where our room was. The individual who checked us in was very rude to our questions abour the construction going on. We found dirty clothes left in our room The toilet was way too low to the ground. A tour bus of many people took over the breakfast area in both mornings Breakfast was so so Had better. Room was old and outdated Loved the paintings Loved the wonderful lake view. Hotel was way too crowded with the tour bus of people. Will not stay again
