If traveling with pets, don't book with Hotels.com

If you are traveling with pets, DO NOT book through Hotels.com. I requested 3 rooms for all of us for the night, plus traveling with 2 dogs. When we arrived, we were told that Hotels.com did not book us dog friendly rooms. Of course they had some available for an upcharge. Then we were put in the oldest outdated and musty part of the resort. What a way to start our vacation. I will never use Hotels.com again.

The building was in disrepair and being worked on during our stay. Entry way doors were left open all day allowing in bugs. Even on my floor I was the one closing the out door that night. Toilet seat would not stay up unless you held it up. Exhaust fan would come on but did not work. The place appears to be one that could be great, but there are alot of years on neglect and disrepair.

Nice, quaint older property. Spacious with comfortable beds and great view. Could use a major update, but clean and comfortable. Seemed to be pretty empty when we were there on Labor Day weekend. Golf course looked nice. Would have liked to have had time to play. Close to the downtown area for shopping and dining. Would like to come back to play golf or ski. Only an hour from Mackinaw

The room was horrendous, black spider widow in the dirty bathroom, linens were not cleaned and looked used. The safety latch on the door was broken. The overall condition of the room was poor and not cleaned at all, it’s as if they tried to make it look like they cleaned by reusing everything from the previous guest. When we complained they said we had to go through Expedia as this is how we booked.

We did not end up staying. The first room was overpowering air freshener and husband was stung by wasp with nest above the door. They gave us second room and the door broke. Did not feel secure. Asked for a refund and only gave us credit for 1 night. Not happy. But the receptionist was nice. Not her fault and she tried to help us. Never did speak to the manager even after multiple trys.

Friendly staff, excellent food. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The room we stayed in could use a bit of updating (replace broken floor tiles in the bathroom, new carpet in room, some cosmetic updates). Otherwise it was a beautiful place to stay!

Unique accommodations with incredible views

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.

This is a good property that, especially in the winter time, will provide plenty of entertainment for those who are skiers. However, the property looks run down, with chipped painting on the outside of it's lodges. The main building doesn't have convenient parking and isn't well marked as to what is the golf pro shop and what is the overnight lodging check-in. With some maintenance/upkeep - this can be a very good resort that will compete with Treetops and other northern Michigan facilities.
