Excellent Front Desk with seamless check in. Wonderful staff, room was clean and accommodating. Hot Tub, Pool, and pantry were all a + and the breakfast hostesses were fantastic! We were so grateful for this stop while heading to the U.P. During a winter weather watch, we found this hotel and had a relaxing and comfortable night!
The kids were SO excited to finally have a hot tub EVEN in a snowstorm and maybe especially in a snow storm. It was a memorable stop! 🙂
