The room was under construction and we were not told about that before booking. Drywall sanding dust was all over the walls. The toilet needed to be cleaned. The bathroom door would not close completely because it hit the carpet strip. The refrigerator is quite small, but we were thankful to have one to use. The remote was missing from the room and we had to request a replacement, which they promptly provided. There was a huge pile of mattresses behind the building, which everyone sees as they enter the parking lot (there is no parking lot entrance at the front). I wonder how long they've been sitting there. Our mattress did not seem to be new. The continental breakfast was quite small. We did not partake. I'm not sure we will be back to this property. It seems to keep going down in quality with each change of ownership.

Stay at Aysa le Valley Inn 8/21/25

Room was nice except for ac . It was either freezing or off , no mid range . The pool was very green and hot tub was down for maintenance. Could improve on the pool side furniture also . Disappointed about pool and especially the hot tub . Continental breakfast was very slim , no juice or hot foods Ice machine never had more than a scoop of ice in it . It was expected to buy ice at $2 bag These are things I believe we paid for and did not get .

Convenient stay for Au Sable River activities. AK was very accommodating for our 130am arrival, room was clean & beds were comfortable. Great water pressure, very hot water if you need it. Place could use new pillows, so best bring your own, and the “continental” breakfast is just yogurt & packaged bagels/muffins. Highly recommend The Grind Coffee shop for variety of coffees & breakfast. The Riverhouse & Ma Deeters were great for dinner.

trouble at check in

Overall the stay was good. I had trouble when I arrived with the booking. The motel had me down with a higher price than what I had reserved. It took some discussion and having and talking to the manager, but it was resolved. For some reason, their system had me down as an Expedia reservation not Hotels.com. My emailed receipt saved me.
