No hot water, no wifi, no cable tv. The top blanket had stains on it that I removed it and I was scared to not wear shoes in the place. There were bugs smashed on the walls and I thought about leaving in the middle of the night it was so bad. The fromt desk people were nice but I would never stay again.

I am all for a mom and pop motel. And I am aware that most places are closed for winter in this area but this place needs to be closed down , I'm actually not sure how they have passed or gotten away with staying op n. They own 4 motels in the area, when we arrived the signs said vacancy n $69 a night which we paid way more and even at $69 a night or is insane because this place is so ran down from chipping paint, old dirty nasty walls, had to sit sideways on the toilet because it's basically under the sink n the carpet does not look like it's been clean in years and was damp. There was one outlet in the whole tiny room with an extension cord, no amenities, and we were the only people even staying there. Now the pool are yes they advertised it.. well it's half indoor/outdoor and they do have a hot tub, that being said it's disgusting.. the staff were nice but other then that this place may have been a nice place 20 years ago but there has been 0 upkeep to the place.. do not waste your money at all to stay here it's that bad..

For it being located right on the beach, it was great. The only down side was the bathroom had black mold all on and around the ceiling.

Great location and great price beds were comfortable staff was really amazing polite and courteous and knowledgeable of the area and recommending things to see and do. My only complaint is hot tub didn't work and pool was very cold but the lake views and beach was well worth it. I will definitely return and highly recommend

Property has a small beach, fire pit and seats to see the bridge all day and the ferries leaving port for the island. The room was decent sized with older beds and quiet.

The staff were very nice and helpful. We had a beautiful view of the bridge and fireworks. The hotel was very outdated, it had 2 beds, so it all was good. We just needed a place to crash for the night!

The check in ladies were lovely. Our room had a gorgeous view. It is a budget motel so thats what we got. Outdated yes but clean and inexpensive.

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.

Attempts at room upgrades poorly done. Beds had older, well used mattresses. Ice ands soda machines outside the room not working. Booked 2 nights, stayed one.

Was on a motorcycle to find a gravel drive way. Dead bugs on the wall, air condition to small for the cottage, tv didn’t work, shower was at a height for someone 5 foot at most. Shower surrounded falling a part

The room was a little dated and didn't have many options to plug phones in, but overall pretty clean and comfortable. The room they put us in was on the end of the row so we had a nice little patio so that was a nice suprise. The pool/hot tub area could use a little cleaning and fixing up but the overall experience was worth the money!

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.
