It was one of the least expensive properties I found but it comes with a caviat. The second floor has no elevator and the stairs are steep and missing a handrail. They were also very dirty. The room was very clean, the bed was fine but the shower was a little tight for anyone of size. They had coffee packets but no coffee maker and the breakfast room was sad. The coffee maker ran out after a third of a cup and no one was around to speak to or service it. The breakfast assortment consisted of 5 apples, a FEW breakfast bars that I wouldn't eat after opening one. There was dry cereal and that was it. Oh, there was a juice dispenser that works.

Nasty and Dangerous

It was horrible. I was assaulted during my stay while trying to sleep at night two different times. I'm pretty sure you don't want to stay there unless you want to be murdered. In fact, skip Kalkaska. My stay was technically at the Grenada tied to the Rodeway Inn, it's all the same staff.
