Decent for sleeping only

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Aug 2024
Average on the low side. There were a lot of pillows, but no extra blankets. Bathroom was tight. Funky repairs to the tiling, wish I had taken a pic. Stayed two nights but room was not cleaned at all. In room sign said that they would launder any towels left on the floor. OK. But how can you do that if you don't show up? Good and very busy breakfast but not well organized for traffic flow. Cereal here- bowls over there, that kind of thing.

Dear blba2017,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your detailed feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve.

I’m sorry to hear that your stay fell short of expectations, particularly regarding the lack of extra blankets and the tight bathroom space. We strive to maintain our rooms to the highest standard, so I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the repairs in the bathroom and any discomfort you experienced. Your comment about the missed cleaning service is especially concerning, and I apologize that we didn’t meet our commitment to providing fresh towels and maintaining your room during your stay. I’ll be sure to address this with our housekeeping team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Regarding the breakfast setup, I appreciate your feedback on the organization. We aim to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for all our guests, and it’s clear we need to make adjustments to the layout to improve the flow during busy times.

Thank you again for your insights, and we hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much-improved stay.

    Room was clean and spacious. Manager was RUDE as were her assistants. Overcharged me for room two times and would do nothing to fix it. Even corporate could not make her call and speak to me, She definitely had a bad attitude. Made me wonder if it was done on purpose to scam a senior citizen. I had to go to the bank and credit card company to get it righted. Breakfast was 1 hour in and almost all food was gone. No fruit. We will NOT stay there again!!

    Room tip: Don't let them take your credit card numbers more than once. Scammed me.

    Dear pattyann1255,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about the negative experience you had during your stay. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and I deeply regret the frustration and inconvenience you experienced.

    Please accept my sincerest apologies for the issues with your billing and the lack of communication from our team. I understand how upsetting this must have been, especially given the added effort you had to take to resolve the situation. I assure you that this is not typical of our service, and we will be addressing this internally to ensure it does not happen again.

    I also apologize for the breakfast situation. It’s important to us that all our guests have access to a full and satisfying meal, and we’ll be looking into how we can improve our offerings and ensure they’re available throughout the breakfast hours.

    Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We value your feedback and will use it to make the necessary improvements.

    1. Room smells, too much disinfectant to hide smell.
    2. Holes in room wall.
    3. Use hot water only for shower (no cold) and still lukewarm.
    4. 1 good towel and 2nd shower appeared to be a rag.
    5. Wall in shower buldging because it wasn't secured properly.
    6. Wifi way too slow.
    7. Drawers in sink vanity nailed shut supposedly to hide plumbing. THE PLUMBING PIPES ARE UNDER THE SINK NOT IN THE DRAWER SPACE. See pictures below.

    This was an OK place to stay at a reasonable price. we happened to get there with a motorcycle rally bunch also there but noise was manageable. Their breakfast wasn't great but the beds were comfortable and they had frig and microwaves. Reasonable price considering we stayed last minute. They are on the ferry route to mackinak island so it was easy to get there and back. Would stay again. Not wonderful but not awful either. Desk hostess.
    was nice. no tea in rooms; only coffee--not all of us are coffee drinkers.

    Room tip: remember to ask for towels as they don't clean the rooms while you're there. Claiming no employees. but easy in/out, clean, adequate.
