The host couldn't be more friendly and accommodating. He changed my room in order for me to park and charge my boat. The room was clean AC worked fine. The beds weren't very comfortable, the toilet ran unless you jiggled the handle and the floors are very squeaky. Location was great to I75 and at least half a dozen lakes. Small town charm and safe.

This cute hotel was perfect, homey and very very clean. We will be staying again. We were much happier than a stay in Grayling at larger chain hotel that was disgustingly dirty and more expensive. Bob is an excellent host. Thanks Bob!

This was the second time I’ve stayed at the Waters Inn and both times the whole process has been fantastic. Check in and check out were very easy and management worked with me when I had a weird scheduling situation. The room was comfortable and clean. Thanks!
