Check-in was smooth and efficient. I appreciated the professionalism of the assistant manager. When we encountered an issue with our first room—dirty with food in the refrigerator and on the floor—the assistant manager promptly addressed our concern. Later that evening, we returned to the hotel and encountered some challenges. While we were informed all hotel services close at 11 pm, we attempted to order at 9:58 pm and were told the kitchen closed at 10 pm, leaving us to purchase meals from the front counter for our children. Upon reentering the room, we noticed it felt stuffy. We confirmed with the assistant manager how to operate the a/c. Despite this, the A/C was not functioning effectively and we found it uncomfortable throughout the night. The next morning, we visited the pool at opening time. We requested towels, but only five were provided. When we texted again, we were told that the remaining towels were not as clean as the staff would have liked so no additional towels were provided. At check-out, we shared our frustrations. While the assistant manager was responsive, the overall condition of the hotel is in serious need of renovation. The pool remains a major attraction, but the rooms left much to be desired. We have left feedback with the corporate office to hopefully provide assistance with a facelift to this facility.

I liked the area. Alpena is beautiful. The hotel room we had was nice but the beds and pillows are too used. It was very hard to get comfortable! Also, the shower would constantly go from cold to hot so that was uncomfortable as well.

Rooms were fine, beds were a little uncomfortable. Two major complaints that really kind of ruined our stay; 1. Food at the free breakfast was mediocre, at best. Powdered scrambled eggs. Sausage was chewy and tasted like it was boiled. 2. Mini Golf was awful. Only 4 “holes.” They were all beat up. And to top it off, they didn’t have any putters! All they had to give us was two golf irons! When I questioned it, the young lady behind the desk shrugged her shoulders and said, “Sorry. That’s all we’ve got.” To add insult to injury, my son is left-handed and these irons were right-handed clubs! All it would take is someone to go to Wal Mart and pick up a couple of $15 clubs and some decent golf balls. The golf balls were wimpy plastic whiffle type balls. We were EXTREMELY disappointed and my son was very upset. We still used it and made the best of it, but wasn’t worth the $200/night for us. There are other options in the area for similar pricing that we will look into next time.
