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

A wounderful experience

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.

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.

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The hotel was very outdated, it had 2 beds, so it all was good.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!

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

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 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 Outdated yes but clean and inexpensive.
