Dear Mr. G (I do not want to disclose your name), First of all, as we told you when you checked out, the mattresses are brand-new (we put them in this spring, when we opened up the hotel). Second of all, if you state that we had bed bugs and that people can write you email so that you can... More

We stayed over Labor Day weekend 2011. After reading some of the reviews posted, my girlfriend and I were a little nervous about the place. However, we were pleasantly surprised by our stay there, for the price we paid. The pool looks as though maybe it needs some maintenance but was fairly clean. The hot tub worked, and felt really...

This is a nice and quiet hotel. The room was clean, but did have a smell to it. We opened the window and left it open for the afternoon and it was gone when we came back. The staff was very helpful and we got discount tickets for the fairy ride to Macinac Island. The location is close to the... More

We stayed 2 nights the coffee pot still had coffee from the previous guests in it. It was never cleaned while we were there. The internet barely worked. The hot tub in our room was supposed to be heart shaped but was square and dirty. The pools had 1/4 inch of dirt in the bottom. We will never stay there... More

This place was ok, but the bathroom wasn't the cleanest, and the indoor pool was dirty, lots of spiders swimming with you. Will definitely be looking for some place different when we go back next time. Housekeeping definitely needs to clean better, that's for sure. More

We wanted an affordable clean place with a pool. We were not disappointed! There is an indoor and outdoor pool and a hot tub. The rooms were clean. Maid service everyday. A mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot (with coffee) were also a nice bonus. I checked prices with simular hotels in the same area and they were double and... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights during our wedding anniversary, and everything about this hotel is perfect! The staff members are nice and friendly, and they offer free breakfast every morning. When we walked into our room, it was incredibly clean. Not a lot hotels have a refrigerator or freezer, but our room did! Whatever... More

Traveled from Escanaba, just wanted a clean place, no frills, just basic. This place looks great from the outside. BEWARE! There are two parts to this place, we were put in the older on ground part (newer part is 2 story non=attached). Upon opening the door all you can smell is an awful musty odor, place was filthy (carpet) furniture... More
