I reserved a room by the pool. When I checked in the guy said he “ upgraded” us to a lake side room. So we had to walk across the parking lot to get to the pool and back. It’s November so it was cold. Wish I would have said something. I will next time for sure.

Booked a King, however the rooms with king beds were being remodeled. We were upgraded to a suite, which was very nice! The view from the balcony overlooking the water was beautiful and peaceful! The front desk staff were very nice and Samone in housekeeping was wonderful! The water pressure in the shower was perfect and the water was hot! The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nice and warm since it is November. We will definitely stay here again!

Clean, but poor climate control
Clean, comfy beds, great view of Lake Huron, decent hot breakfast with wide variety. Our biggest complaint is poor climate control. Rooms are long, with heating/cooling unit on one end and bathroom on the other. Since there is no ducted air movement, the heat had to flow across the room through the open bathroom door to keep it warm. Even worse, our heater started to howl and clunk after midnight, so I lost a lot of sleep, making my next day less pleasant. Also, we had to walk quite far along outside hallways during a chilly autumn night to get to our room. Finally, although the rooms were clean and the beds were comfy, the exterior could use a little cosmetic maintenance.

Overall the stay was just ehh.
Was an ok hotel that had a nice view but when I was sitting on the balcony all I could smell was other customers smoking their marijuana. The beds were hard. Breakfast location was in an inconvenient location. You had to take outside stairs in the elements to get there. The selection of food for breakfast was good with a few hot items. Overall the stay was just ehh.
