This hotel is in a beautiful spot. Across the street from Lake Huron, and with woods behind us, we had deer out our window in the evening. Our room was clean and spacious, and they’re pet friendly. The staff is friendly, and a nice breakfast is served. There’s nice parks on the lakeshore, and plenty of shopping in town. We definitely would love to come back.

Typically there is at least one thing I can write about a property that could improve upon or that wasn't as good as I would have hoped. This place though checked all the good boxes. It was clean and quiet, check in was simple and friendly (very personable lady working the counter. She gave great recommendations for dining and had a solid sense of humor.) the pool and hot tub was also clean and was a nice treat after a long day. I would definitely stay here in the future.

Liked: Amenities
The facility and staff more than satisfactorily met my expectations. However as a handicapped person I experience things that pass by the average customer. Due to the floor of the bathtub not having the proper grip, I was forced to grab the curtain rod and improve my balance by gripping the top of the tiles that rim the shower stall.
