Let’s start with the water park. Broken windows that are covered in cardboard. The two big water slides. Not turned on. The lazy river has 8 tubes. The pool area could be cleaner. The room. Old and smells old. The bed was comfortable and bedding was clean. It is on the beach. Which is nice. We left for the day and when we got back are room wasn’t touched. Around 7 pm. The maid comes to our room after she put everything ahe had her back pack on and was ready to leave. I said why wasn’t our room cleaned earlier. I was busy. She said I had a busy day. For wash we paid. This room should of been cleaned. When I talked to the front desk. Nothing was said. It’s as if I was talking to myself. So when we opened the patio door. There is a screen on the door to protect you from the bugs. The screen is taped with scotch tape. I’m like seriously. This hotel has a lot of people in it. Maybe reinvest some of the profits in the hotel. I would not recommend this hotel. They should be ashamed of themselves for how they leave there hotel. All I wanted was I paid for. You can hear everything through the floors and walls also.
The hotel has a lot of potential and I’m sure it was extremely nice when it was new. We had a waterfront view from our room, that was amazing with the beach and Lake Huron only steps away. The pool area needs some major maintenance. The lazy river was closed during my stay as well as the two big water slides. It looked like the slides had been closed off for quite some time. The kids pool play area was nice however 1 of the four slides there was blocked off for use. The two water guns were not operational as well as the big tiki head, from pictures it looks like water is supposed to spray out of that and that was not operational. From photos there use to be a jungle gym type thing across the pool and that was not there anymore. The carpet in the room could use a deep cleaning and furniture is pretty worn and outdated. We had fun during our stay but bummed that it wasn’t exactly what I was expecting with a lot of the pool area not operational.
Not very clean, half the water park wasn't even operational the website failed to mention that and still advertised the water slides as being open. Over priced for what I was expecting to pay for, disappointed older kids due to the water park not being fully operational.
Hotel and beach were great. Water park included was good. Only real drawback was the two larger water slides were down. That said the cost and per friendly position were chief selling points for us.
Would recommend to friends and family for sure in stead of staying in St. Ignace!!!!

Staff was friendly. Very nice beach area but lots of spiders on chairs.
The hotel provides coupons for breakfast offsite but breakfast is pricey.
Waterpark was very disappointing. It is in need of upgrades, cleaning, etc. The large water slides were not open and the lazy river water looked disgusting. The little kid area was the nicest area of the water park.
I don’t think hotels.com should ever book this hotel for anyone. Dirty everywhere, would have walked away but needed a room. Had small grandkids with us and after a long day of sightseeing and they were looking forward to the waterpark—WOW pool area was unkept, unsanitary,water was green and dirty& NO TOWELS AVAILABLE.
The room carpet felt dirty and damp. The blankets felt damp as well.

The staff was very helpful at check in and gave us a second day at a good price. They offered a shuttle to the boat docks when they heard us making plans to head over there.
Decent place to stay. Room with a view was nice. Could use some updates.

We picked this property because of the waterpark...there were many google reviews with water slides, what they dont tell you is those water park slides no longer work. We got to the hotel at 1:08am. Checkes in, when we got to our room the smell of musty old carpet is what we encountered but we had been up all day and just wanted to go to bed. The next day we got up went to eat, the staff took our dirty towels, we asked for an air freshner for the room he either didn't understand or just disnt care because he never came back. Later that afternoon we went to what they call a water park and seen green water in the lazy river... and next to the lazy river a almost drained section where the slides would have dropped into..not blockes or taped off!!! Very unsafe!!!! My 13 year old tried to go to the little waterpark area but one slide was blocked off there as well and no water running down the slides.... you also have to sign a waiver basically saying of you get hurt you can't sue the hotel even though they have unsafe areas wide open. Talkes to the manager on Saturday morning and she basically told us since we booked through expedia all she could so was cancel our stay for that night...now mind you its already the weekend hotels were booked all around us and we had plans to go to the island and bought our tickets already. So no we werent having the manager cancel our reservation to go try to find another hotel for the night. There's a limit on words so i can't finish my review.

Worst hotel room I’ve ever been in and we are frequent travelers for many years. Your website rated with 7.8 stars - totally false. Room was dirty - dust on all the surfaces. Furnishings were very old and outdated - lampshades were all faded and discolored. Discovered in morning a spider walking on outside of lampshade by beds and found a large spider web inside the shade. Subsequently found webs in the other lampshades. Door handles loose, lock on sliding glass door loose. The shower head was all rusty and corroded metal where water was coming out. The rug was dark and looked like it had never been cleaned. I couldn’t sleep all night thinking about how dirty the room was.
We selected this room while on the road that same day because our reservation at another hotel was canceled due to a lack of electricity. We relied on your rating and it was false. Will never use Expedia again.

Hands out one of my worst experiences I have had as far as a hotel stay anywhere. The waterpark inside was absolutely disgusting. The lazy river and half of the waterpark was shut down with green looking water and condemned looking. I signed up for pay when I arrive service through Expedia and they charged my card prior to arrival the day before. Would never stay here again. I’d highly recommend people look elsewhere because they have a completely filthy hotel and their waterpark is not functionable!!!
