Solid stay

Solid place and location for Michigan Adventure. Good condition. But the place is tight for 7, with 1 bathroom. Some curtains for the bathroom, playroom and kitchen, would have been helpful.

We took our 4 grandkids to Michigan Adventures for 2 days. The location was only 10 mins away from the park, which was great! Our “cottage” was perfect for the kids! They loved it! 2 double bunkbeds and toys to play with. The only negative was no door on their bedroom door. Our cottage was located directly across from an awesome restaurant! Good food and walkable. The only other negative was the road noise. The house sits on the corner of a main street through town. The curb appeal was not the greatest, but the inside was adorable, well stocked of everything you would need, and clean! Our main objective was having a clean, convenient place to stay and the Whitehall Cottage met our needs. I would recommend for a family with kids for sure!

Clean and great service

My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights, to visit family. The manager responded quickly to requests. It is a 15 minute walk to the White River/White Lake. The room was clean. However, the bed was very soft, the room is VERY small, and everything showed signs of age - except the new vinyl floors. I would stay here again, but don't expect any frills.

Our stay was for 3 nights over the Fourth of July holiday. Poorly kept. Dirt and dust under the bed and trash left in the nightstand drawer upon check in. Only Netflix on the tv. It played the first night but could not load the 2nd or 3rd night of our stay. The Wi-Fi did not work well on the second and third night of our stay. The hallway separating our room from the parking lot was filled with flies and they came in when we entered and left the unit. We purchased a fly swatter and gifted it to the next tenants. There was only toilet tissue but would have expected a box of tissues (Kleenex) and or paper towels since there was a frig and microwave available. We also gifted tissue and paper towels to the next tenant. Would have appreciated a coffee maker. Walls are thin and you can hear other tenants talking. Parking is inadequate when all units are full and the parking spaces are skimpy. We had to park on the berm one night. The parking lot looks run down. Repaving would help and make it more attractive. We would not stay here again and not recommend this place to any friends or family.

Pros: Room was clean, mattress was comfortable, the hotel was within walking/biking distance from everything in the area. Cons: The bed frame is very sharp, I accidentally brushed against it and it left a big gash in my leg. No coffee maker in the room. The bathroom had very small amount of soap in the dispenser and 1/2 roll of toilet paper - no refills. The bare minimum was provided for towels. Walls are very thin, Some of the people staying near us were up throughout the night and disruptive.

Property picture showed cute themed rooms. While the picture was acurate, what you couldnt tell was how cheap the rooms were done. Paint was so thin on ceiling you could see the drywall through paint. Shower floor was black, but should have been white, no, i didnt take a shower. Cob webs with bugs in corners. Ceiling height was 6.5 ft. And had water stains. I really dont think my 6 ft. 6 inch son could have stood straight up in this room. We happened to be in Whitehall on a Monday, there was only 1 restaurant open, thank goodness it was good!

Cute and clean. Thin walls, heard the neighbors arrive all to clearly after we were trying to sleep. Floor slopped, my husband had to move his pillow to the foot of the bed to have his head higher even after taking tums to be able to sleep. No local channels only Netflix, but the Netflix hadn’t been paid so no tv. Texted and emailed, no acknowledgment, no apology even two days later. Not worth the price! Maybe for half ?!?

Just not a good experience. No toilet paper, tv didnt work, dead bugs on the windows, stained towels and a awful pot hole parking. Just felt for $180 a night for very small room with old very used furniture and sinking floors. The online pictures very misleading wouldnt recommend.

Room 8 was VERY dirty. You can tell they don’t clean well. Not like it was a cheap place to stay. The bathroom shower was nasty and had mold. The celling was two different colors. The baseboards are nasty. The pillows had blood stains on them. The hotel had ants everywhere. Too bad I can’t get a refund this place is something you get bed bugs from. Spiders all over. They jacked the price up saying it was full and we were the only person there Friday night and Saturday only two other people. If this is their standard of clean no wonder why they get 2 out 5

read this before you book

As per folder in room, via # given when we tried to contact "24/7" maintenance, the number was "no longer in service". When we tried to contact Gary (property manager?) the number rang seven times and cut off. We went into the unit (after a struggle with the small print code in an email) at approximately 4:15 P.M. HAVING NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF PAINT THIS WAS (we took pictures) WE LEFT AT 5:30 P.M. At the time of leaving, I attempted to notify Hotels.com, Whitehall Cottages and Gary that we were leaving and that we wanted a refund. We Never stayed at Whitehall Cottages.

If you simply need a place to lay your head for the night, this does the trick. No staff on site, no place to get snacks or drinks either on site or in walking distance. There is no coffee. Two people won't fit in the bathroom.Their towels are very luxurious, so there's that.

“Royal Suite” listed on Expedia sleeping 7. There was one king bed and a bunk bed. Expedia listing shows that there is a two hundred damage deposit, which actually was a non-refundable cleaning fee. The one regular bed was 27 feet from a highway with trucks and motorcycles throughout the night. Impossible to sleep. When you call the company’s number you get an answering machine and then text messages. This may be okay for a family with 2 adults and 2 kids, but you can find a better value.

Review on Whitehall Cottages....

When I tried the self ck in I couldn't find a comunication to get me the room door code. I couldn't reach a live person via phone. I tried 3x yesterday and only got voice mail. Their voice mail said to text if need be. I did and never got a response on getting into the room. The other issue was the wi-fi password did not work. I texted them and never got a response. I was unable to do my work last night without it. I'd like a discount on the room charge.
