Off season stay

Hotel is nice, clean spacious but dated. All the room amenities were functional. The fridge buzzed a little but we were able to fix the issue.

First and last time

I'll start with the good. Very kind and accommodating front desk employees. Comfortable mattress. Beautiful view of Lake Huron. Thats about it. The room was filthy. I mean down right dirty. Outdated is one thing but dirty is another. I had to call for new sheets. There was hair and grass when I pulled back the blankets. I'm so thankful we brought our own pillows and blankets. It definitely hasnt been vacuumed in a while. Our socks were covered in grass and hair. I could go on because it was bad everywhere I looked. We made the best of it and will never rent their rooms again.

Great small town, easy to walk around. Sink countertop to low for adults, needed cleaning behind nightstand since I noticed this before and still not cleaned. Refrigerator humming on loud side for me. Saw childs stuffed animal on floor at headboard when I was using outlet there, cleaning should take a look at that gap below headboard for cleaning also,

Easy access, outdated but clean. The toilet is for a small children and the shower was cold water in the morning. I don't believe the hot water tank can supplement the facility.

Older establishment. With that being said, it was clean, comfortable and exactly what we were looking for while we were only there for one night to pick ip our new puppy. I would recommend this place, but if your looking for a high end with all the amenities then its probably not for you. Realize you will be in country. No high-rise or Trump towers anywhere in sight. We did not use the breakfast buffet.

You can do better.

Really cramped bathroom. Motel probably built in 50s or 60s. Dated, timeworn. Not beachfront, could barely see the lake through trees. Very small breakfast area with meager offerings. Only eggs offered were hard boiled, no meat, no fruit. Killed a roach that was crawling on the ceiling of our room.

The hotel was clean and a great location. I had a view of Lake Huron from my balcony and access from the hotel. The rooms are a little outdated and could use some TLC, but once again very clean and relatively comfortable. For the price point I thought it was a great stay and would stay again if in the area.

This was the cleanest hotel I have stayed at. They take pride in their property, even though it might be a little dated. Beautiful views. Saw an elk.

Some quirks but definitely worth the stay!

A lovely older motel with wooden balcony views of Lake Huron and beach access a very short walk from the motel. Things were clean but slightly sparse (coverlets were too short, but at the end of my stay, I found another blanket in the drawer, which I'd wished I'd known about earlier! :-). The mini shampoo provided wasnt enough for my hair and left it waxy feeling. No conditioner. Soap bar felt waxy on my skin too...(Just notes for how to improve, but certainly did NOT mar my stay there at all!) I loved sitting on the wooden balcony chairs provided to watch the freighters move through the lake. The sliding glass door didn't lock and the makeshift jambing system didn't either, so check this before you leave the room. For a single woman, I felt a bit unsafe at night as a result. The staff, especially Katie, were really lovely, friendly and kind! I would recommend anyone on a budget renting here. Breakfast is continental and I think there was an indoor pool on site too. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and would come back again!
