We have stayed at this hotel several times and the room upgrades are nice, but seems a little expensive still for what it is. But it is a convenient location for us spending time in Leelanau County and it was during high fall season traffic.

Great place to stay, newly updated rooms. Close to everything in the peninsula. Downfall, the bed was awful. We would have been better off sleeping on the floor.
