First 3 nights were in your average room. Extended a night last minute and was put in a newer room with beach view! Staff members were friendly and helpful. The beach area was nice and well kept.
The hotel has lots of potential. The lobby has a moldy smell to it. The room that we were in had certain things that were falling off or apart. Beautiful view of Lake Huron, but the screens were broken, so I couldn’t leave it open to listen to the waves at night. It’s supposed to be non smoking, but people still do and it seeps through the walls. If they clean better and update a few things this would be an amazing stay.
The beach access was nice but rooms dirty, several broken things, had to change rooms because of such poor housekeeping. Water Park was only half functioning, pools were green and cloudy.
The pictures were not current. They must have beenfromwhenthe hotel first opened. The pool area was unkept, most of it was broken and our hotel room had wet floors and mold on the bathroom walls.
I liked that we were right on the beach, that’s about it. Downfall was the dirty pool area, the hot tub hidden in the back corner had black stuff (we assumed to be mold) all over the bottom, continuing out from that corner the pool at the end of the waterslide looks as if it hasn’t been clean since they drained it considering you can not use them since they are “down”! The lazy river going around that area was green and gross. Even the little kid play area had a very dirty black film on the bottom. The game room only two of the games work and the rest are just for show as they were not working either. But there is a very nice arcade right in downtown so we went there instead.
Not impressed with the hotel.Staff was great but property can use more more employees to keep up with the cleanliness.The bathroom had urine on toilet seat,furniture dusty.The receptionist did offer to help clean it! But I cleaned it with Clorox bleach wipes.Otherwise it’s in great location

Great location. Very nice beach love able to have a fire on the beach. Great view of the Saturday night fireworks. You can't beat the view from your room of the sun rising over the water. A few insects in the room and patio door handle unsecured but overall a great place to stay. Breakfast at local Restaurant for buy one get one free is a great way to start your morning.
We stayed in the king suit, it was large with plenty of extra room. The hotel was in average condition for an older aging hotel. The bathroom was clean with normal hard water staining in the shower, the lighting was dim and wallpaper was starting to peal. The bedroom was nice with a comfortable bed, window view of the bridge and island. The living room was a nice large open concept with plenty of space for a ln additional couple or child. The sofa and chairs were older but clean. The room was slightly musty with older leaky windows. Overall for the size of the room and price I was very happy with our stay. If you want a 100% perfect, brand new, white washed hotel this isn’t the place for you; however if you have realistic expectations for this price range this is a nice hotel for the money.
Absolute amazing service, they work with u and get it done! Did find some mold in the bathroom and some things didn't seem to actually be wiped down. But over really amazing spot.
We really enjoyed our stay and will most likely will stay again

We stayed here in the middle of July. This place was remarkably affordable for what you get. The beach access is incredible. We had a balcony room overlooking the pristine beach and lake. The place was a bit aged but not shabby. The indoor waterpark was a nice bonus, but the waterslides were permanently closed. It was a close drive to the ferry and downtown. The ferry company offered free pickup from the hotel, so we didn't have to pay for parking.
