Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room looked like it hadn’t cleaned in a month, felt like I was walking on the beach in our room. It’s listed as a lake view and the “view” is of trees that you can barely see water through. There was toothpaste splatter on the mirror, sand on the floor, broken bed, something caked on the bathroom door. I definitely wouldn’t stay again.

Propery was falsely advertised on Expedia, images didn't match current state of the Motel, floors was dirty, spider webs at the beds, no lake view, it was only visible through trees. I am going to social media with this matter as expedia should update their rating with properties. Will think twice to book with expedia again, as ratings cant be trusted. Its definitely not 8.6 rating rater 4 and for the price, actually want to request a refund. I took images you can contact me if interested in the images

Staff is on the premises 24/7. Website says check in is 3-5pm. This is not true, she is there just call the number. I will stay again. Wish it wasn’t so expensive for this area, it is a little pricey for Northville it’s not Saratoga.

We didn't receive instructions to self check in. We called both numbers given and received no response. Finally had to call expedia. We were finally able to enter the room over an hour later. Also, it was not very clean. For dirty, trash not emptied spider webs along baseboard as we entered.

I booked a lake view room and there’s nothing but trees in front of the room so no lake view at all. It shouldn’t be labeled as such. Also the room itself was dirty and grimy. The shower had mold and hairs and clearly hadn’t been cleaned.

I enjoyed the old style items in the room, including the rotary phone, although it was just a prop. I liked how the rooms were named after characters in The Great Gatsby novel.

We have stayed there 3 years in a row and every year its gets worse .we had 3 rooms and all had issues, dirty, poor drainage,lack of customer service. Poor experience. Inused to rave about it but now i cant wait to forget it. Towels available after checkout, towels in the room were wet .just not great. Needs someone who cares. Also attendent ill say was so smelly. I would not recommend.

Loved their Great Gatsby theme especially after many hotel rooms that basically look the same. Although the room and bathroom were on the smaller and older side, it was a fun place to be and an easy walk to the shore and a restaurant. Even had an outdoor patio to enjoy.

July 4th stay

Room was clean and convenient to the lake. We only had coffee cup for one person as well as creamer. It was perfect for our one night stay and we will rebook. We will just check for amenities before the front desk leaves. Thank you.

Bathroom sink drain was stuck in the closed position, making it unusable. There was no soap or conditioner. I reached out to the hotel at 1:30p about these issues and I received a response 6-7 hours later. I paid $160 for one of the worst hotel experiences of my life. It mentions lake view in the description. Even if you stood on the roof and jumped, you are not seeing that lake. This is a run down motel in disguise. Garbage owner of a garbage hotel. Give it a pass.
