The beach behind the property is great, water shallow and still warm today 8/13. Our room was very big and clean. Comfortable beds and pillows. Fire pits on the beach. In season, you want to bring beach stuff.

Dark and outdated rooms

Upon entry into the lobby I was immediately impressed with the old cherry wood and overall appeal of the lobby area as well as the courteous service at check in, unfortunately that’s where the interior appeal stopped. The room we were in, 106, was incredibly outdated and needs a serious deep cleaning. The carpet is so gross. The pillows are stained and pancakes and the TVs are so small for a “suite room”. The bathroom had visible mildew build up along the shower wall. There are no tissue boxes in this hotel so be prepared to rip your nose to shreds using their 1 ply tp to blow your snot out. The patio could have been the highlight of this room IF the property was properly maintained and cared for. Being right on Lake Huron and getting to listen to the waves roll in is extremely peaceful but the trash on the beach, cigarette butts all over and just an overall dirty patio left me really disappointed that I paid extra to be in a suite that is so incredibly outdated and just dark. Almost $500 for 3 nights was not worth it. The pool, while advertised as heated is NOT. Don’t be fooled. The hot tub had a visible ring around the inside which was quite gross. The location of the property is great and being right on the beach was also nice. But that’s where the positives end.

We checked in early and lucky the room was ready. Room needs a lot of tlc. Burned out lights, rusty air vent covers, patches of paint missing, bed too close to window, drapes too heavy, too long and smelled of smoke. Balcony chairs were the best we ever sat in!

Whole facility is in need of up date repairs. Our room had broken tile around refrigerator. TV didn’t work and other too complicated. Room could have been cleaner. Staff was not helpful. Staff was going to call when room read no call . Will not stay there again. Way too much for what you get. Stayed at another hotel before going to island and there was a good breakfast not coupons that are very limited. Also other hotel was same price and was wonderful. Hot tub was not clean either.
