I brought my dog. No quibbles about paying $33.33 extra for my dog. However, the water ran out grey, so I used bottled water to brush my teeth. The shower was scary scuzzy and I chose not to shower. AND the property was covered in cigarette butts and empty beer bottles. It didn't feel safe walking with my dog. I had to sign and initial a form that I would clean up after my dog, etc. I want to know what fee they charged the people who didn't pick up after themselves! Anyway, the room smelled odd and the carpet was stained. I suppose the bed was comfotable enough. I packed up and left before 6am.

Horrible.....

Booked one of the Deluxe King rooms with a lake view that was fully remodeled (please see reference photo), or so I thought. Upon check in and entering our room, it was obvious it wasn’t at all how the photos would have you believe (I have attached the photos as well). I immediately called Hotels.com and was told we needed to speak to the hotel employee to see if they would cancel for us as there was nothing else that could be done. I was also informed that the photos uploaded so us customers can see what they look like, are not confirmed in any way so they can upload anything they prefer. Of course they wouldn’t cancel for us, but we were offered the option of paying more money for a room that looked the photos and what was booked in the first place!! Complete scam artists in our opinion and I advise everyone to take that into consideration when booking with them.

This property deserves a zero rating! The room doesn’t look anything like the pictures that were shown. The first room we were brought to didn’t even have a light switch on the wall that worked paint was literally peeling off the wall in 4 x 6 chunks and the bathroom looked like it was 30 years old and had never been scrubbed. I immediately turned around and told the receptionist that the room would not work for the evening and we needed something else. She brought us to a family owned property just two blocks away and this room was even more disturbing. There were blood spots on the sheets, big huge stain on the wall, looked like something was thrown against it, chunks of laminate out of the desk, the bathroom floor was nearly completely worn through the linoleum, and the shower had black mold where the grout should be on the ground. There is no way that this hotel can possibly pass any kind of inspection. We decided to drive back home instead of staying at this filthy nasty place. We had reservations on September 1 which was right before the Mackinaw bridge run and we’re charged $298, we were told it was completely non-refundable! When I was told, I wanted the card of a manager, she kind of laughed and said I am the manager, and we don’t have any Business cards. I simply can’t tell you enough, DO NOT stay at this place!

Room bore absolutely NO resemblance to the photos on Expedia. AND there were many other tenants who were having electrical issues as we were. I'm sure the 4-5 room appliances plugged into a singe powerboat was a violation of codes. Should be reported to the appropriate city officials. This is a family owned property and they own three ogthers nearby. Wouldn't be surprised if there were the same. Cannot believe people who age this an excellent rating.
