We had a lovely weekend. However, the family above us had small children. The children ran wild, even after we complained. It was like a herd of elephants romping above us until after 10 pm at night. The walls are very thin in the hotel. Otherwise, the stay was fine. Thank you.

Nice hotel in an undiscovered resort town in eastern Michigan. Nice places to visit with lots to see and do in an up and coming town for tourism.

I really like this hotel and I’ve stayed here every time I come back to my hometown. But I can tell that the attention to cleanliness and upkeep is severely beginning to lack. Please don’t turn into the old Holiday Inn/Ramada. Breakfast is fantastic and staff is kind enough…but I can tell that they don’t care much about the guests.

The property is ok. But it's not the most well kept. Almost all the chairs in the lobby/breakfast area have stains all over them. The chair in my room had a very questionable stain The staff is ok...all be it they would rather talk to each other than take care of guests. 3 of us checking in at the same time atopd there for almost 10 minutes before anyone even showed up to the front counter.
