I loved having a split room (bathroom between two beds) as it makes it seem like you have two bedrooms in one room. Perfect for not hearing family members who snore lol. Sandra had our room prepped perfectly! She did an amazing job cleaning it and everything was so nice. The view was absolutely beautiful!! Make sure you get a water view room. Their beach was perfect for a sunrise view. From check-in to checkout, everyone was so kind. Definitely recommend staying here!!

Parking was well provided. Hotel overall seemed cluttered with couches lined down hall to pool area. Pool area looked gross and uninviting in general. Room was ok. Some staff friendly and outgoing while other short and slightly rude. It was an ok stay but wouldn't recommend.

Id stay again

We recently stayed 3 nights and the location was great. The room could have used a bit of TLC but it was clean overall. Special shout out to Tonice at the front desk. She was always a joy to be greeted by in the evenings when we would get back.

Wonderful stay for us and our friends who came from Mexico to see Upper Michigan for the first time. They were enchanted! The room had two separate suites so it fit perfectly for privacy and comfort. Absolutely excellent. Lovely staff woman.
