Dirty washcloth hanging in room when we checked in, floor was absolutely disgusting. Pool house was closed. Staff was absolutely wonderful kind and helpful. Place was pretty empty so to put someone above us was unnecessary, they were so very loud. Updated room was nice, gave a cabin feel. View was spectacular. Mixed feelings on this place. We visit different cities for our anniversary each year.

Could see the outside through the front door all the way around. Front door didn't feel very secure. No outside lighting through the stairwell which could be very dangerous when on the 2 nd floor. TV didn't work and neither did their phone.

The Management was great. Looking forward to possibly staying there in the future. They were able to answer all of my questions, assist with what was needed and always friendly. The room was one of the updated beachfront two queen beds room. It was spacious and had a great view. Access to the beach was amazing for the warmer hours of the day. Everything was within walking distance of the hotel so we didn't have to worry about parking downtown.

The hotel is in a good location. The room was remodeled but the furniture very outdated. The room had a lot of bugs when we checked in (mosquitoes and flies)

Nice property with a good view of the beach. Room was very nice and freshly remodeled. The only issues I had were my tv did not work at all. And the splash pad/ waterpark area was closed. Overall we had a nice stay at the property.

Like the new wood siding in the rooms. Bed was comfortable (the other bed was almost on the floor). The outside of the toilet was dirty, the shower curtain was moldy and almost fell on my head. The outdoor stairs need new carpet and the entire hotel needs power-washed. Old broken beach chairs need thrown out!!!

Checked in quite late and staff was friendly. Wasn’t shown what building our room was in, so we wandered around until we found it. Room didn’t look like it had been occupied for a while. Turned on the A/C and a bunch of bugs flew out. There were cobwebs in the corners of most walls/ceilings. There was a very large garden spider living in the sink drain, web and all. The sink was dirty and the toilet seat wasn’t cleaned. This was a room that has not been updated unlike their water view rooms and it definitely needs an update. We thought the shower rod was going to fall off the wall, so because of that and the bugs we decided not to take showers. It was nice that we could leave our car there while we went to Mackinac Island for the morning.

Ww checked into the hotel and ten minutes later checked back out. The room especially the bathroom wasn’t clean and there was black mold throughout the room. My daughter is allergic and had an immediate reaction. The clerk gave us another room to stay in but it also had mold growing in the bathroom. The front desk clerk gave us a refund and booked us into another hotel at the same price. Patricia was very nice about the whole situation which I appreciated.
