"This would be a 5-star review if the property had WIFI and AC. In this day and age, those should be standard amenities. As far as the lack of AC goes, we were very lucky; the temps were only in the low 80s during the day, and thankfully fell to the 60's at night. Had we stayed a week earlier, I don't think we would have been able to bear it.
The property itself is quite nice. Very clean and tidy. The proximity to all kinds of walkable locations is very handy. Tons of fun things to do in the...

"We were so pleased with this little place. It seemed weird at first to not be watching TV (We eventually broke down and used our phone as a hotspot to watch something), but we realized we enjoyed reading our books and chilling out when we were there. Lots of places to go. Natural landmarks, wineries, restaurants, historical attractions. The house was super clean. It's a brand new build so everything was in great shape.

"The house was very cozy and ample, with convenient amenities like TV, Internet, washer, dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen. The location near Mullet Lake was excellent, and there were places reasonably nearby for getting groceries and gas.
Although the overall feel of the place was great, there were some details that require attention moving forward:
1) The cooling unit in the upstairs room was not functioning properly and it made a clacking noise when the cooling feature was activated, so we...

"There was ton of space and lot of stuff to do. The host had a lot of items that most places don’t have so that was great. Wish there was a place to sit and eat that would hold more than 6 people. Even outside there was only a table for 4. So you could not sit together as a group of ten or more."

Cute little cottage. We were just passing through working. Naturally I picked a day the restaurant closed.
Pictures were a little confusing on what you got but I was fine with the room for the price. I'd stay again. Bed was very comfortable.

Loved the room- large and the lighting was perfect. Loved the chaise lounge. Big windows. Perfect location downtown and right on the river. Very clean and super friendly staff. One of the best HI Expresses I've stayed at.

I appreciated that there were people available on-site to help me with questions I had (instead of having to call an 800 number and speak to someone in a foreign land).

The hotel property had a very nice clubhouse( fireplace, lounging furniture, games, books, microwave, griddles, refrigerators) There was a lakeside firepit, hammock, chairs and grills for use. All of this for usage qhile being able to have the most beautiful view of a sunrise. Staff very pleasant. Cleanliness and Covid compliant.

I'm so excited we chose to stay here. Not only was the price point solid, but the quality of our stay was wonderful and left us well rested. The bed was super comfortable, showers were hot with great water pressure, it was quiet early in the night even with it on a main road, clean and well cared for, and the location was perfect for getting around. We even ran late and the front desk had a plan in case we missed them to check in. Will absolutely stay again.

I was looking for a decent, dog friendly hotel in the vicinity of Alpena. This hotel met all of my criteria and then some. It is setback off of the water some, but the property is literally right on the Lake Huron beach. Easy walk from the room to the beach. The Up North 23 restaurant is right next-door. Beautiful outside dining with a lake view. Got one meal to go from there and they catered to me every step of the way since my dog was not actually allowed inside. The hotel was typical, with a...

We stayed at the Continental Inn for two nights and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. It didn't have that plastic feel like a chain hotel. We will definitely stay there again.
