We reserved water view, but had to pay for an upgrade at the hotel to get it. The mirror was off and leaning against the wall. The patio screen door was off. I had to put it back on. The window screen was torn. The view was great. The staff was nice.

The room was clean but the furniture was outdated, oversized and crowded. The outside of the building was ran down and in desperate need of cleaning. The beach was sad and littered with trash. The location was good and breakfast was better than most with eggs, pancakes and ham.

The view was remarkable! Breakfast was great. The only negative comment would be that the place needs a little tlc. Our balcony screen door had a broken screen. Our lamps were missing lightbulbs and the outlets don't hold a plug (in some).

This hotel was fine for an overnight stay and the location is convenient, however a little bit underwhelming for it's premier location. The staff seemed uninterested. The pool and hot tub worked, but the whole place gave me the vibe that the ownership just isn't trying very hard to make it a nice place. The included breakfast left me feeling like we should have went to Denny's instead - but there isn't one! If you need a place to stay for a night before heading to the U.P. or are staying longer and aren't expecting great things, it will suffice.

Promising but outdated. The room was small and crowded. It seemed very dusty and dirty. It looked like it was decorated in the 90s. The bed was uncomfortable, though the pillows were nice and soft. The tub was relaxing. The bathroom floor was gross. The patio door was loud and hard to open, as it stuck a lot.
