The room was disgusting. There was leftovers from the previous guests in the fridge. The bathroom was not clean with someones underwear left behind the door. The place smelt like cigarettes and bum. I would not want my worst enemy to stay here.

The room was very clean and the a/c worked great. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The kitchen/restaurant isn’t currently open but hopefully it will be soon. The ice maker doesn’t work but the front desk person was absolutely wonderful and went to the kitchen to get some. The place is undergoing some much needed renovations however; the facility is clean, quiet and is going to look phenomenal when completed. The price was very reasonable as well. I’d stay again if I was traveling through.

It was -12 on Portage Lake and we cranked the heat pump up to 75. The Birds Nest cabin needs another heat source. Upstairs was cold when we got back at 10:30 pm after leaving the heat on all day in the cabin.The two full size beds that are pictured is one that’s on the bottom of a metal bunk bed frame and the other is upstairs where the roof is pitched so one side has no head room to accommodate two grown adults.New owners shut the water off for the winter. Didn’t know that until the day we left to head up. The bath house was not private. One of the doors could not lock due to the door jam being broken. The soap dispenser dispensed little to no soap. I would not recommend staying at the Birds Neat in the winter if you need use of the upstairs for children. they will be cold. The beds upstairs are pretty much useless unless you’re a single sleeper. The other two singles are set up for young children who are still in danger of falling out of bed. The beds have boards on the sides that keep a person from rolling off.

The staff at the Hampton Inn were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast offered daily was basically as good as one might expect of hotel pre-prepared food. Yet the person managing the breakfast area kept it very neat. She even offered to bring us more coffee! She remembered guests that come through from time to time. So one feels welcome and a little more uplifted after breakfast. The front desk person was likewise friendly although I didn’t have as much interaction there.
