I was disappointed because neither key would work in the door. When I called the front desk, they stated I had to come back to the desk to straighten it out. Second, I was booked for a water view room. Had a giant tree in front of the window. No view….

Resort - Not

Arrived in Tawas around 1:00 pm. Couldn't check in until 3 pm unless you wanted to pay $20 for early check in. No, we don't. Bar didn't open until 4. So, we went downtown for lunch and came back at 2:30. My niece paid the $20 but they said ours still wasn't clean. At 2:50 we finally got the room. They lost our lunch, bar and future business. There was a bug on the chair in the morning and the lobby was cold.

Everything was clean and the staff was abundant and friendly. For the price room service should have been offered and the restaurant should have a larger menu selection. The beach and outdoor bar were great ! I would recommend staying here we had a good experience.

The only nice thing about this property is the location. It is located walking distance from downtown. The beach is nice and it has a tiki bar. However, the cleanliness of the room had something to be desired. The room we stayed in had a pull out couch that smelled like urine. They didn’t seem very concerned about it. Also, be aware that there is no elevator. So, if you have a room on the second floor, be prepared to have to haul all your things upstairs.

Overpriced

Hotel in need of upgrades. There was a mixup at check in as I was assigned to a room that was not ready (after paying extra for an early check in). And without an elevator it was inconvenient for one with luggage. Room was clean, the view awesome, and the Tiki Bar staff outstanding. But this place was way overpriced for value.

Extremely over priced. This is more of a motel than a resort. They charge you $20 if your room is ready and you want to check in early. Room service is only offered every third day of your stay. You must go to the front desk to get clean bathroom towels, toilet paper and pool towels. Food was terrible and you cannot charge anything to the room in the bar.
