UP time

Good place for adults. TAKE YOUR KIDS TO GREAT WOLF LODGE. If you need to sleep mak esure you get the second floor. We had a a kid above us that was stomping around all night. Nice.room. only complaint was that they must have had a fresh hatching of spiders. Comfortable bed and pillows. Clean shower and tall people fit just fine.

A one night stay on a road trip with friends. It was the perfect location to walk down the road to have supper and close to the ferry for Mackinac Island. It is an older hotel but it was clean and comfortable and we would stay again.

Somewhat satisfied with the room.

Office staff was very friendly. But when I got to the room there was a dirty Washrag. left in a shower. Wanted to make coffee in the morning and all the coffee was decaf so they did not refill regular coffee.

Beds were clean and very comfortable. Overall cleanliness of the room was good. Pull the blinds to look outside and had a large amount of spider webs in the window area. I would definitely stay there again regardless of the situation with the spider webs.. didn’t see any bugs or spiders anywhere. They just needed cleaned.
