Great location and great price beds were comfortable staff was really amazing polite and courteous and knowledgeable of the area and recommending things to see and do. My only complaint is hot tub didn't work and pool was very cold but the lake views and beach was well worth it. I will definitely return and highly recommend

The staff were very nice and helpful. We had a beautiful view of the bridge and fireworks. The hotel was very outdated, it had 2 beds, so it all was good. We just needed a place to crash for the night!

Was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what we were getting to at first. They provided a free upgrade and the room we were provided with was recently remodeled and so was very clean. It was on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the Lake (Huron) and the beach where some people were enjoying themselves. Didn't get a change to check out the indoor/outdoor pool.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
WE didn't like too much. Asked for a room in one of the properties they moved us to it. That room Had a bathtub that had a new tub insert but the corner had been broken off and you could see the old rusty tub. We stayed but will never go back and that's too bad because we have stayed there before. The first desk clerk that checked us in was nice but when we came back we had a different one and she became indignant. If anyone stays here check out your room first.
