The outside of the property was not clean and had many cobwebs around the benches, railings, and outdoor hallway ceiling. It just looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time. Our room was fine, but the shower floor needed regrouting around the edges. What was there was not pleasant to look at. Also the floor heater in the bathroom needed paint. The rest was fine, but in general could have been much better. It should be the work of a maintenance crew, not the person who cleans the rooms.

Cute room
While the outside of the hotel shows the wear of its age, and hasn't been updated, the room was very nicely furnished and updated. I appreciated the Keurig coffee maker. There were several kcups and a handful of teabags, nothing decaf though. My only complaints is there was not much water pressure in the shower, possibly due to the updated showerheads? Also the shower did not drain well, so you were standing in a puddle of water while showering. Otherwise the room was nice for the price.

Beautiful view of the Bay from our second floor balcony. We were very pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were. Modern and totally redecorated. I would highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and we were very impressed with the property. The amenities were a nice touch- Keurig coffee maker and everything you need for coffee and tea! Our room was super clean and decorated nicely. It felt like we were guests in someone’s home, rather than a hotel! Location was wonderful and so was the price! No problems checking in, easy to communicate with property via text or phone if needed. Will definitely be back for future trips to the area!

Sometimes better to pay more elsewhere
Entered an unusually warm room on a hot day. Window air conditioning needed multiple steps to operate correctly. Bathroom / Shower door would not close shut. No room service the next day. Our garbage was piled up and not renewed - toilet paper not enough - bugs had webs just beyond the entrance / exit door as we stepped outdoors - no elevator service despite 12 steps exposed to the outdoor weather - two small cockroaches around the Keurig Coffee Maker.

Our family of 3 stayed 1 night and enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the modern decor and cleanliness of our room. Small glitch with everyone that checked in the same time we did. For some reason our codes to enter our rooms didn’t work. Called the # that was listed and they picked up immediately and helped us out. We would definitely stay again if we ever find ourselves back in Petoskey.

Loved the location and the view! A little removed from downtown, but right in the middle between Bay Harbor and the “in”crowd and Petoskey Bay Front Park. Highway 31 goes by in front of the inn, but they provide earplugs, or better yet, in the summer, turn on the AC! Loved the self-check in. I did not receive the code via email, but called, and a very helpful staff member gave me my code. Very comfortable bed! The shower was a bit slim, but fine for most people. Just be aware if you are a larger person. Great stay with super location.

Great studio.
This is a great little studio apartment in an excellent location within minutes of downtown Petoskey. Is tucked up behind a home on the property to the left of the main inn. It was very clean (except for the fan in the room, which was very dusty). Included coffee and tea, a small refrigerator, a stove, and microwave. The king bed was super comfortable. No view from the room, but the inn has hot tub and fire pit areas with gorgeous sunset and Lake views. The inn sits up a bit from the highway, and with this studio’s back location, we did not hear traffic noise. The description and arrival instructions could be better. We never did find out how to run the AC, or if there was any. It turns out we did not need it as the weather was beautiful. There is nothing that specifically shows you which pictures are of the studio apartment. Or what amenities it has. Maybe I missed it.? There was no Wi-Fi code in the room so we had to call. The email sent to us for arrival instructions said we would receive an email with a code for Entry that afternoon. No email. When we called, we were given different arrival instructions. Overall a great, clean, basic place.
