Having a failing back and NO WORKING ELEVATOR (and no 1st floor rooms available) made it impossible for me to stay! Would have appreciated some notice from either Expedia or the Resort would have allowed me to make alternative acceptable arrangements!

I was disappointed because neither key would work in the door. When I called the front desk, they stated I had to come back to the desk to straighten it out. Second, I was booked for a water view room. Had a giant tree in front of the window. No view….

Resort - Not

Arrived in Tawas around 1:00 pm. Couldn't check in until 3 pm unless you wanted to pay $20 for early check in. No, we don't. Bar didn't open until 4. So, we went downtown for lunch and came back at 2:30. My niece paid the $20 but they said ours still wasn't clean. At 2:50 we finally got the room. They lost our lunch, bar and future business. There was a bug on the chair in the morning and the lobby was cold.

Everything was clean and the staff was abundant and friendly. For the price room service should have been offered and the restaurant should have a larger menu selection. The beach and outdoor bar were great ! I would recommend staying here we had a good experience.

The only nice thing about this property is the location. It is located walking distance from downtown. The beach is nice and it has a tiki bar. However, the cleanliness of the room had something to be desired. The room we stayed in had a pull out couch that smelled like urine. They didn’t seem very concerned about it. Also, be aware that there is no elevator. So, if you have a room on the second floor, be prepared to have to haul all your things upstairs.
