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.

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

Do not stay at this property or the properties owned by the same company. Our room had black mold and the bathroom floor is ready to fall in. Disgusting rooms and don’t anticipate a refund if you choose to leave early. We would have liked a refund for the issues but there is no sympathy from the owners or staff. Terrible property, I hope they are no longer advertised on Expedia.
