The only thing that was bad was their pool and hot tub did not work. That was one of the main reasons we stayed there. We did not get a discount on the stay either. Over all, i love this hotel. It was my 3rd time staying there.

Our original room was not ready at 5:30 pm. We were placed in a better room, however it wreaked like marijuana and had garbage on the floor. The people staying across the hall were up and loud until 2:00 am. The pool and hot tub had so much chlorine our eyes hurt just to sit in the pool area to watch our kids. 5 people in our party got rashes from the pool/hot tub. The facilities need updated.

The bath tub needed scrubbed. It was black from being used over the years. There were big spiders in the corners of the ceilings. The balcony was covered with dead insects and spider webs and the cleaning people came and remade our bed and when we returned to our room in the evening our door was open.

It was nice that the property is right on Houghton Lake with a pretty lawn out back. The room was clean and comfortable and all staff I encountered very pleasant. Balcony was not clean--lots of dead bugs, cobwebs. It was a nice place to sit but there was a large group on the lawn under the balcony playing loud music on an outdoor speaker for HOURS.

Very clean and smelled clean, good job housekeeping. The hotel and restaurant were understaffed but the ones working were really stepping up. Overall it was a great stay and I would stay here again in the future.
