Clean, but poor climate control
Clean, comfy beds, great view of Lake Huron, decent hot breakfast with wide variety. Our biggest complaint is poor climate control. Rooms are long, with heating/cooling unit on one end and bathroom on the other. Since there is no ducted air movement, the heat had to flow across the room through the open bathroom door to keep it warm. Even worse, our heater started to howl and clunk after midnight, so I lost a lot of sleep, making my next day less pleasant. Also, we had to walk quite far along outside hallways during a chilly autumn night to get to our room. Finally, although the rooms were clean and the beds were comfy, the exterior could use a little cosmetic maintenance.

I arrived around 6pm. I guess it wasn't too late. But the staff at the desk was not friendly. I didn't feel welcome! Also, the room was too dark!

Overall the stay was just ehh.
Was an ok hotel that had a nice view but when I was sitting on the balcony all I could smell was other customers smoking their marijuana. The beds were hard. Breakfast location was in an inconvenient location. You had to take outside stairs in the elements to get there. The selection of food for breakfast was good with a few hot items. Overall the stay was just ehh.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I loved being right on the waterfront and that it was walkable to the ferry. The guy who kept breakfast going was an extremely hard worker. The rooms were clean, on the second day we did have to call down to have our room serviced. I understand it was near the end of the season and they were short staffed.

The location is very nice and we loved the beach front area, the San was nice and the chairs were clean although some of the chairs needed to be replaced as they were broken. I had booked a lakeside view 2 queen room with pull out couch side area but they only gave us a 2 queen standard room and would not fix it. Our room had a fridge which was great but no microwave. We did like that the sink and vanity were apart from the bathroom, that was helpful.

The room appears to have some upgrades - very nice. The only downside side is the fact that we had no soap or Kleenex in the room.
