As to rooms, our room (32) shared a wall with the front office so we awoke to classic rock radio blaring through in the early am.

There was no food at this location during our stay - would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Had to go 10 minutes into town for every meal, including breakfast. Also, very low pressure water made showers and toilet flushing interesting. Nice mid-century vibe.

Noisy as it gets

There are pros and cons to this hotel. Pros are the staff are friendly and helpful and the grounds are beautiful. The cons however are the rooms. We did not sleep all night as we could hear both sets of neighbors. All night we heard people yelling, slamming doors, or talking. There is no one at the front desk after 8pm to address these issues even though there is a quiet hour time. Additionally, our air conditioner sounded similar to a jet engine and the clock next to the bed makes noise every time a minute flips on it. The entire experience was incredibly disappointing and not at all restful.

The style of the room was good, but the window air conditioner was noisy and interrupted sleep. The window blinds were hard to operate. If they were not up completely, outdoor lights would illuminate the bedroom. Pricey for what we got.

Nice clean property in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms kinda small, small bathrooms (and we’re not really large people), beds not really queen sized, and strange that there’s no tv in the room.

We enjoyed staying here as a one-night deal as part of our Michigan roadtrip! Absolutely beautiful property and very nice room. I honestly loved not having a TV. They had so many other things to do with either your people or socialize with others staying there. I wish we stayed longer to utilize their amenities more.

Absolute RIPOFF! This property lacked any semblance of service or hospitality- no tv, no fridge, no microwave, strange smell in room, paper-thin walls, some vague and unofficial "quiet time" that meant NO NOISE at all from the paying customers after either 8, 9 or 10pm. No staff AT ALL on site after 9pm, no assigned parking and the onsite bar patrons would TAKE YOUR PARKING while at dinner. Terrible stay, do not recommend
