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.

It was ok for basic needs but overpriced for the type of room, breakfast bar was really basic, coffee/water machine turned off by 10pm and the property could definitely use some freshening up. Front desk Staff was pleasant. Hallways and eating area air temperature was not comfortable and had a musty odor.
