"Good beds! 1st floor ceilings need a sound blocker from 2nd floor rooms. Room 119 hallway door needs to be realigned. There is at least a 1 inch big gap between the lock jam and door. Makes you wonder how secure the door lock is. Also you see hallway light coming around the door at night. The woman employee at the desk was very helpful. She showed us to our room to see if there was a grab bar in the tub, and there was."
"Everything is clean comfortable and fully functional. Great grocery nearby, great food and chill atmosphere in town. We were fortunate enough to witness an eagle spear a fish out of the lake right in front of us, minutes after we arrived. Beautiful AuSable river nearby. Very good birdwatching at the lighthouse just down the beach. Excellent “Up North “ experience."
"Had a great stay for a week at this hotel. Definitely a step up from the hotel behind it, and the location on Cook Road is nicely surrounded by various food and shopping options. The two double bed room was very spacious and the bathroom was nice, however I felt the bathroom did not have sufficient ventilation and the use of a sliding barn door on the bathroom was a bit lacking in the privacy department. The microwave being located outside of the room is a bit inconvenient, but it ended up being very close to my room. The refrigerator did not seem to get particularly cold. Staff were excellent, very helpful and kind. The pool area was clean and served as a great area to host my friends. Additionally, the rooms with balconies that come out to that area are a neat concept. The smoking gazebo is nice as a smoker, but I would appreciate a couple more being added as groups of people were occupying it at times throughout the day as a hang out spot (valid as it’s a nice spot to be.) Also some guy dropped an onion slice in there and left it (not valid.) The only major negative experience I had was when the water went out unexpectedly for a full day, That was very inconvenient as I was not able to shower, use the toilet or brush my teeth for a full day. I’m willing to consider it a fluke, but I was disappointed that it took so long to resolve. I will still happily stay at this hotel again in the future."
"Don't believe the good reviews.
The hotel is in need of new management.
My room was a 2-queen-bed room.
The floor of the bathroom was dirty. I could feel it when I walked on it in my bare feet. The bath towel for preventing water on the floor was dirty. I could literally see the dirty footprints of the previous user.
The wall had repairs on every wall and was just repaired with joint compound and not painted.
The curtains were falling down, and from the outside of the building, when you looked closer, you could see that all the rooms had the curtains falling and deteriorating.
The bathtub had somebody else's hair in the drain.
Do not stay here. This owner should sell and allow someone else to come in and refurbish the place. Although it may already be too far gone.
My companion had a room with a king-size bed, and their room was just as bad, with patches on the walls. No shampoo. Curtains falling down."
"We only stayed for one night, so we did not get a chance to experience all of the amenities. Unfortunately, we ran into several issues during our stay.
On Saturday evening around 6:00 PM, we went to the restaurant and were given menus. After a few minutes, we were ready to order, but when the waitress returned, she apologized and told us they were out of everything on the menu. The only option available was the buffet, which was $40 per person.
Our room was a decent size, but it had a very strong mildew smell. We turned on the streaming TV for our son, but the WiFi went out after about 30 minutes. Since we had no cell reception with either Verizon or AT&T, we were unable to call anyone to report the issue.
We also had a problem with the hot water. After letting it run for about 10 minutes, it went from ice cold to barely warm and never improved. As a result, our showers were quick and cold. We checked again early the next morning, and the water situation was the same.
That said, I do think this place has potential, and I may consider giving it another try in the future. The rates were reasonable, and the property seemed like it had a lot to offer. Maybe we just had bad luck during this stay."
