As I was sitting in the parking lot of Hamilton Inn, I went to Travelocity website to put in my dates of stay which was that night I put in the 20th and 21 September Friday night to Saturday. I get a text message saying welcome congratulations blah blah blah. You are now scheduled for the 21st and 22 September that was not correct. I called the front desk sitting in the parking lot to correct it I did not go into the lobby because I was trying to do this immediately and they will not cancel it nor give my money back and so I did not stay at the Hamilton M. I had to go across the street to another hotel. I called Ralph Travelocity, and they could see that I was trying to correct it and they called the manager of the hotel Hamilton to know avail.

This was a comfortable but dated facility in need of a refresh and modernization. It was adequate for our needs, but the breakfast served was very mediocre, and the same served everyday. We ate breakfast elsewhere after the first day. Beds were comfortable and the facility was quiet.

The staff especially front desk were not welcoming they acted like checking you in and any question were bothering them. Breakfast food options were great but it was packed and not enough staff because they kept running out of food so what we could get was good. Not sure that we would stay in the future we found there are so many options for staying in the area.

Large room, with balcony overlooking the water. Large comfortable bed. Large sofa & table & chairs. The hotel itself was older and had a little musty smell upon entering the lobby. It was VERY clean, when cleaned, but cleaning crew were still cleaning rooms at 8:00 at night. Price was slightly above average to high on the weekends. Breakfast was not great, same food every day for 4 days. Long lines for pancakes or waffles.

I usually don’t write a review, but with the experience I had I wanted to inform you guys just incase it happens to you. I had originally booked this hotel for one night (Saturday to Sunday) and after check out, I realized that Expedia had booked the days for Sunday and Monday, now this was controversial because my brother has an appointment on Monday, so I tried to see if they could change the date and it said I would essentially pay $187 on top of the $187 I just payed to switch the days.I also bought the Expedia protection plan (which I don’t recommend) to see if there’s any way I could get out of this charge and to no avail, they got ahold of the manager and they said their strict rules doesn’t allow that. So, long story short we had to replan our trip to the next day (we are lucky to live in Michigan and live a few hours from here), skip my brothers appointment, if we were coming from a different state or had a long drive it could’ve ruined the whole trip. Positives are that the hotel staff was incredibly nice, we were able to check in @3:30, we also bought tickets to the Shepler’s ferry (at a discounted price) at the check in desk. I also read a few reviews on here that said they have noticed that they put Expedia purchasers facing the parking lot and that was true on my experience.Overall the room was great, besides the beds being uncomfortable, breakfast is from 7am-9am and it was okay as well. I would say it was an overall good experience and stay.

This property may be next to the water but it is extremely dated. Lights don't work, smells and the majority of the staff seem to hate the hotel guest. Definitely not worth the money. Stay 45 minutes away in Gaylord. A lot better options and it is a quick drive.

Not recommended!

Overall this stay was one of the worst by far. With Hotels.com I selected to pay at the hotel upon our departure. I received a call the night before my reservation letting me know that my card was declined. I asked why it was ran in the first place and was told it was a preauthorization fee and my room would not be held without another card to run. I refused to give another card and told the manager, Michelle, I would call my bank in the morning, as they were already closed. She was extremely rude and reluctantly agreed, demanding that I call by 9am. I did reach my bank the next day and the payment in fact did go through for preauthorization. A callnwas made back to Michelle and again, she was very rude. Upon arrival at the hotel my husband and I were greeted rudely and charged the rest of our stay even after I had requested to pay after. Our room was not clean, there was a dirty pillowcase shoved in the bottom of the nightstand that remained through our stay. The food was poor quality. The staff was unfriendly. The bed was uncomfortable.The only good thing about our stay was the view, beachside balcony. Even with the view the people were loud and the beach area was often trashed by other visitors. We were very disappointed with the service!
