Romantic Hotels in Alden, MI

"Everything about stay room breakfast was good our issues were with reservations and is not hotel fault we were there because loved one in near byhospital we made reservation for 3days not knowing what we needed shared that upon checkin well loved one was not ready to leave hospital yet tried to extend stay sold out we had to find elsewhere to stay not hotels fault fill rooms as you can.so we went elsewhere made reservations to return for more days as loved one still inhospital planning for sub acute care but unknown when wee made longer stay this time so we are not made to leave and sell out again. We did not need all the days as they moved loved one to 3 hours away could not get refund for unused days i can understand 1 day to cover cost if unable to rent and refund 2nd a3rd and 4th but none were we bought insurance this time and having difficulties on collecting still trying weeks later so while hotel is a nice place if you don't 100% know what you need buying on Expedia may not be best options i don't travel alot so i am sure many know how to handle things like this we did not and have our focus on our loved one and still trying to get our insurance to pay no luck so far so blossom got 3 days paid for room twice us and who every they rented to and i paid two hotels for same 3days Once again hotel was nice clean everything good but not flexible on reservations so recommend finding out how to get flexible reservations when travel is uncertain so you dont "

"We had a very disappointing experience with this property and feel obligated to warn future guests.When we arrived, it was immediately clear the unit had not been cleaned from the previous guests. When we pulled back the sheets on the main bed, we found multiple types of hair under the sheets along with visible stains. Hoping it was just that bed, we checked the spare bedding, but all of it was also dirty, stained, and covered in hair.We pulled out the futon hoping it might be usable, but it was covered in dog hair and sand from previous guests. At that point it was obvious the unit had not been properly cleaned between stays. We also found both live and dead bugs in the unit.We attempted to contact the host and reached out to VRBO through their platform while we were there. After getting nowhere and realizing the property was not in a condition to stay in, we left after about an hour and booked a hotel instead.The next morning the hosts messaged us through VRBO agreeing to a 100% refund, but when we attempted to get the refund they denied it. Despite the written agreement, VRBO was zero help resolving the situation.The listing’s claims about cleanliness were misleading, the unit was clearly not cleaned between guests, and the hosts went back on their promise to refund us. I would strongly recommend avoiding this property."

"Great view of the beach and clean, ready room"
