The bathroom shower. Shower took forever to warm up and then never got hot shower level. The rest of the room is nice. If they could fix the shower we'd stay again.

The room had a terrible mold smell. Everything was outdated. The safe didn’t work. The bathroom was disgusting. The shower head was barely functional. The bed was very uncomfortable. People upstairs were extremely loud…not that the hotel can control that part but if everything else would have been to standard that may have been overlooked. The best part of the stay was being able to connect to Netflix on the TV.

The lake view was amazing but the room was dirty. Didnt meet the staff. The office had closed before we arrived so we went next door to their sister company and picked up our room key. It was a second story room and there were no room numbers on the doors, except for the first door. We guessed correctly which room was ours and tried the key. There were cobwebs in the bathroom and the floor didnt look like it was cleaned in a while. The bed was questionable so we only used the sheets. We didnt need the air conditioning. I guess you get what you pay for. It had a 7.4 rating so we expected better than it was.

This property is in a nice location. We checked in a little early and had to wait for clean towels. We noticed the coffee pot in the room had not been emptied or cleaned from prior guests. The refrigerator made a terrible vibrating sound. The staff were friendly and accomodating.

We checked in and then right back out. This hotel has not been updated in 40 years from the looks of it. The room was dirty and had broken lamp shades. There were dead bugs in the corners of the room. We asked for a refund and left.

First time I’ve ever refused to honor a hotel reservation. One bed (we had 2 rooms) had crumbs on the sheet, some kind of substance stuck on the shade, room next door had a gas grill right outside our room that was being used, etc. I believe this may now be popular for seasonal workers who rent by the month. The young man in the office was very kind and apologetic when giving us our cancellation. I thought I’d done due diligence prior to booking which brings me to my first ever public negative review.

She’s a cheeky, last century motor court, but she still has charm, and her Huron-shore setting is hard to equal for the view. We enjoyed our stay…

The place is overpriced for what they offer. For about the same price you can stay at much higher rated hotels in the area. If you’re desperate for a place to stay for a night it’s fine. I was a college student looking to travel cheap so my standards were pretty low haha. The rooms bed sheet had lint, some hair, dirt. One bed just had a sheet tucked in on the sides not even a fitted sheet. The shower was dirtyish and the water temperatures were freezing cold and burning hot. The parking lot is also on a huge hill so any car even remotely close to the ground will scrape and it makes in hard to get in and out. Like I said my standards where pretty low so I stayed the full three nights I booked, but honestly, wish I had looked for something else since I didn’t even save much or any money. Guys at the front desk were nice enough.
