We had problems when checking in. And the hall to our room was filthy. The screen on our room's door was broken open. The ceiling to the bath leaked. We were reluctantly offered another room, but we canceled our reservation and moved next door to The Clarion, which was the best thing that happened.

There is no current gym or water park on site. Without these items, I think the hotel was overpriced. Room service did not come daily. The gym I was sent to use at the Clarion didn’t have very good equipment. Disappointed for the cost.

When we arrived at 2:30 we asked if we could get an early check-in, but our room wasn't cleaned yet which was fine because check in isn't until 4. So in the mean time we parked and went to check out the water. The water was clean and the beach was nice. There were some broken chairs and towels laying around but there were also chairs that were fine. Some people had brought their own chairs from home. My son who is nine loved skipping stones, looking for rocks and chasing some seagulls while we waited til four o'clock to get to check in. At 4 we went to the front desk to check in. Our room still wasnt ready, so instead of getting pissed we just spent more time in the water(only up to our knees because we had on shorts.) At 4:40 we went back and our rooms were ready.

My room was not clean and never got clean for the 4 days that I stayed. The room had bugs in it and we booked a room off the water and was told that they don’t even have rooms off the water. The room overall was nasty and had to be cleaned by me because I brought my own cleaning supplies.

We loved that we were on the shores of Lake Huron. The view was lovely and we were able to catch a sunrise that was beautiful. The hotel seems to be under new ownership and rooms are being renovated. When we arrived we were told that the pool/water park had been damaged in a recent ice storm. We were glad we didn't have any children with us that would have been disappointed. Also, the ice machines weren't working but we were told we could use the ice machines next door (at a different hotel). We stayed two nights but there was no housekeeping services. A little TLC would have removed some of the sand that was on the plank floors.
Sunrise outside our room on the shores of Lake Superior.
