Beware bed bugs! Don’t stay here!

Bed bugs!!!! Beware! My kids were bit by bed bugs while staying here. Absolutely disgusting. Hotel is not clean, everything is run down, old and disappointing. They should be ashamed of themselves! Pool was freezing, breakfast was bizarre, breakfast room upstairs covered in dust. The whole place looked like a haunted house. Cobwebs everywhere.

Our room made up for everything else! We had a lakefront room and the sunrise was way worth the price. Breakfast was a bonus, right next to Arnold ferry, and close to the shops!

Our staff Fenton was very polite, friendly and overall a great staff member. The rooms need lots of attention as in lots of updating. The curtains in our suite need cleaning desperately as there are blood stains on the ones across from the bathroom. Overall it was a peaceful stay.

The room was not clean. Dirty Qtip under sink and filthy behind, bed by the wall. The walls were very thin, thus lots of noise. The showers were fine the first morning, but were cold the next. Lady at the desk upon checout was rude and acted as though i was making it up. Will not be back.

The room was big and beds were comfortable. The bathroom fan was loud, the A/C had a mildew odor from it (I understand being by water that it may hold humidity), the rug in the gym needs to be replaced, the washer/dryers were all out of order, and the breakfast was poor...with coffee creamers being bad. The price was good and located conveniently to the town. This place has potential and with some TLC it would be great. Overall, the place served the purpose, but would have liked to have better breakfast choices and a nicer gym. Also, the main building does not have an elevator, so if you cannot climb steps, you need to ask for a main floor or a place in the building with the breakfast room, as it has an elevator.

Beautiful view of Lake Huron Heat and AC worked quietly Breakfast was ok Plenty of parking If staying more than one night, be sure to ask for house cleaning if you want it. All the plumbing worked as expected. Bathroom was clean Beds were comfortable For an older facility, our two day stay was very pleasant. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub Very reasonable price compared to neighboring facilities
