The bed was very firm. Rooms are outdated. Breakfast was the same every day. The coffee machine was broke in the breakfast area. Rooms were clean and staff was very friendly.

Was just okay. Outside of building was less than impressive. Inside was cleaner than the exterior lead to us believing it would be. Still had a few dirty/unkempt areas. Smell was a little off, not quite bad but not pleasant either.

A decent hotel with a fair price.

I'm not sure about the bad reviews. I enjoyed my visit. The room was very nice. In many ways it's a classic room. A queen size bed, a chair, a desk, and a mini fridge. The TV is a good size. The bed is very comfortable, although it is the lowest bed frame I've seen at a hotel. I thought everything was very clean. I actually loved the shower. It's a walk in, but more importantly the shower head is actually up high, so us tall people can actually shower comfortably. The only slight negative is the soap dispenser in the shower barely work. The other issue is the sound proofing could be better, you could hear everything in the hallway. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, it's a positive 4 star. Would I return? Absolutely.

It’s fine. Water a little too soft. And it’s time to paint the lines and handicap in the parking lot.

Great hidden gem for visiting Central Michigan- very quiet, off the road so no traffic noise. Breakfast had a nice variety and refilled things. Staff attentive and kind.

Quick Overnight Stay.

Very late arrival but our room was clean and ready. Bad weather in our area and we requested a delayed checkout. They allowed us to stay until noon without a few, which was very kind. The lady who worked in the breakfast nook was super nice and made sure there was enough food and supplies for everyone. Room was a little cold when we arrived but soon warmed up after we turned on the heater. Beds and shower were average but on this visit we just needed a clean bed and shower.

There is dark food in the room from a dark before us and the shampoo and conditioner in the shower didn’t work overall the plays were awesome. The breakfast was a bit disappointing. It only had eggs, sausage and waffles. Very limited amount compared to my other stays at other hotels serving breakfast.
