Not very clean…

The hotel itself was nice. The cleanliness was not the best. The sheets were not changed from the last people that had stayed in the room- I saw this because there was make up on the pillowcases. I called and asked for clean sheets/pillowcases and the woman at the front desk said she had no one that could give them to me. I went downstairs and showed her and she said there was nothing she could do. So I went and bought new sheets for the bed to sleep on.

Id stay again

We recently stayed 3 nights and the location was great. The room could have used a bit of TLC but it was clean overall. Special shout out to Tonice at the front desk. She was always a joy to be greeted by in the evenings when we would get back.

It’s just out dated. In my room some of the plugs didn’t work. The mini fridge wasn’t standing up straight. Was wedged in a cubby falling over. Should have screen doors on the balcony so you can leave it open.

This hotel is an embarrassment to all hotels. The room smelt of urine and ammonia. The ceiling had water damage and the walls were damaged. The bathroom was disgusting. We immediately left... the hotel refused to refund the money. Do not stay here.

The room was large two king beds and everything needs updated. The beds were hard and the pillows are terrible. The hotel uses people from 3rd world countries for all the work and houses them in substander rooms 4 people to a room. And the breakfast area was nasty and the food was bad. One good thing there is a view from the hotel of Mackinac Island.

This hotel has definitely seen better days. After driving all day, we thought the pool and hot tub would feel good. Both were so dirty that we wouldn't even step in. Hot tub had dirty ring around top of water and could hardly see through pool water to the bottom. Rooms could be cleaner as well.
