WE didn't like too much. Asked for a room in one of the properties they moved us to it. That room Had a bathtub that had a new tub insert but the corner had been broken off and you could see the old rusty tub. We stayed but will never go back and that's too bad because we have stayed there before. The first desk clerk that checked us in was nice but when we came back we had a different one and she became indignant. If anyone stays here check out your room first.

The pictures online were not accurate of the room conditions. It gave us a place to lay our heads for the night, but that was it. The bathroom has not been maintained so it was old, broken, and dirty. The picnic table outside was broken in pieces laying on the ground and the beach front was full of garbage and debris. It says u see new management and it looks like they are trying to get things repaired but as of now it’s not there.

Was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what we were getting to at first. They provided a free upgrade and the room we were provided with was recently remodeled and so was very clean. It was on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the Lake (Huron) and the beach where some people were enjoying themselves. Didn't get a change to check out the indoor/outdoor pool.

First thing...there is one reception desk for 3 properties. 2 seperate people in front on me in line were assigned rooms at adjoining properties they didn't reserve with basically an "oh well response". The ac unit in room smelled moldy and never got cold. The tv did not work. The shower was dirty and previous guests used toiletries were left in the shower, including used bar soap. There is nothing within walking distance. Also the parking is tight and multiple vehicles missed having an accident by mere inches. Really run down. The tiny beach area was pleasant and good view of nightime fireworks. Would not stay here again.
