Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Sheets were stained (possibly dirty, but I don’t really want to think about it). Hot tub/pool were so chlorine saturated that it literally burned my skin. Only good thing that I can say is that the location is top notch, but that’s really it.

When arriving to the hotel, there was hardly any signage to know what door to come in. But worse of all the rooms the room we stayed in was filthy. The king size bed in the room had of stain that was so bad that my wife would not sleep on that bad with me. And there was some kind of PARTYNEXTDOOR that continued till 2 o’clock at least in the morning. Running up and down the hall, slamming doors. The hotel has the potential to be very nice if they would clean it up, because the rooms are very large. Also, they only give you one suitcase holder when the room has two beds.

We were pleasantly surprised when we entered our room! We had a balcony over Lake Huron, we booked a king room and ended up with a king plus a queen both in separate rooms… The entire suite! It was a lovely stay!

It was a perfect room for friends traveling together. The room had 2 areas separated by the bathroom/kitchen area. A large bed in each of the areas and a sofa. Microwave and refrigerator as well The beach area could have been taken care of better though

The room had a beautiful view. It was comfortable & clean.The staff was very friendly & helpful. One thing to note for myself & for others when they go is to absolutely keep the light off outside at night if you are going to go out on the balcony. The amount of flying bugs is astronomical & they will flood in fast.

Comfortable Stay
Comfortable stay, good water pressure for showering. Room was clean and spacious for 4 people. Did not use pool as it was not appealing (looked a little old and not well kept), same for the hot tub. Pool was not a deal breaker for me. I would stay at this hotel again.

Some of the reviews were poor, however, I don’t agree. I was happy with the hotel, overall. Room was nice. Mostly clean. Shower head needs attention/dirty. Staff was pleasant. Loved the balcony overlooking the lake/beach. Probably could use more upkeep on the beach front and entrance/exit from beach. Trash full. Door not secure. Overall, happy with my stay and would book, again.
