The Lodge has had a major renovation so the material condition of the entire facility was like new. Off-season and mid-week, it was very quiet. Minimal staff was pleasant and efficient. Did not visit the casino. No dining facility in the Lodge. Convenient to restaurants.

We have stayed at this hotel several times and the room upgrades are nice, but seems a little expensive still for what it is. But it is a convenient location for us spending time in Leelanau County and it was during high fall season traffic.
