Ski Lodging & Hotels in Gaylord, MI

"So alot , When we first arrived the fridge didn't work so we got moved to a new room. That night the toilet stopped working we had told housekeeping they said they would take care of it and when we got back 9 hrs later it still wasnt working so we had to go to the desk and ask for a plunger. The water / pool was really nice , however the fishtank outback looks like its never been serviced and the fish were starving to death. ( Litteraly tried eating our fingers.) The algie was so bad it was green and the water running down definitely didnt arrerate that small little section these poor fish were in. Pool area, was very nice and pleasant pool was warmer then any ive been in which was nice. However the lights and heat for hottub dont get turned until asked to do so even at 9pm at night when completely dark. The sign on doir says open till 11pm but they ask you to leave at 10pm. The exhaust fans looked like they were going to fall off the ceiling into the pool. Room : Room was nice and accommodating however there was alot of work that needed to be done. The bathroom door swings open to the toilet ( no space to squeeze in if your bigger set. ) the door hinges were coming off, i believe there was no airration in the bathroom what so ever and the vent they have went to the next room so you could hear everything the room next to you said if you were using the bathroom. The door that lead to the pool has a room key scanner that didnt like to work. Staff didnt know why. "

"So it took us an embarrassing amount of time to figure out where check in was. Hint, it’ll feel like you’re in the wrong place but you’re not. The staff at check in was helpful and efficient. I was taken aback at how beautiful the building and the views were. I imagine in its early days it was even more incredible. Vintage, high end ski lodge vibes. With the map we were provided at checkin we found our lodge/room relatively easily. I was disappointed our room didn’t have its own balcony, but it was rather a balcony for that floor/side. Some of the balconies had rotted wood, so that was a little unnerving. Our room was in the Blue Spruce Lodge, 2nd floor. The stairway and hallways were beautiful and unique- full of character and charm. We checked out the bar with live music in the evening. It was mostly middle age guys there on golf trips. Not exactly a happening nightlife scene but it made a beautiful spot to see the sunset across the hilly landscape. Our room was clean and comfortable. The lodge close to town. While it did have some quirks and could stand some updates, overall we really enjoyed our stay there. I prefer to stay somewhere with character, rather than a cookie cutter hotel. "
