    Great beach access right from the hotel. I could stroll down to the water whenever I wanted. The indoor pool area felt inviting and a perfect way to wind down after a day of exploring. Breakfast had a variety of options, though it could benefit from more hot choices. My room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the lake. One downside was the room layout. Not enough mirrors made getting ready a bit of a struggle for all of us. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help if I needed anything.

    indoor pool
    lake view
    outdated fixtures

    The indoor pool offered late-night access, great for unwinding after a day of exploring. The location beside Lake Huron provided stunning sunset views, ideal for evening strolls along the beach.

    Plumbing fixtures in the room felt outdated, and the furniture arrangement created a cramped atmosphere. breakfast hours from 7-9 AM seemed inconvenient for vacationers, and the noise from adjacent rooms made it challenging to find peace at times.

    I had such a lovely stay! Waking up to the amazing lake view from my room was one of those magical moments that makes travel so special. The indoor pool and hot tub were perfect for relaxing after a fun day exploring, and let me tell you, the beach access made for some fine evening strolls!

    would recommend 😊❤️

    The marinated fish at Nonna Lisa's Italian Ristorante was a culinary gem! Just a short stroll, it’s a must-try. Plus, the direct beach access from our room was a total game-changer for sunset views. Can't beat that!

    The location is fantastic, right on the beach with gorgeous views of the lake. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning, which offered a nice variety to start the day right.

    Some noises from nearby rooms were noticeable at times.

    stubborn air conditioning

    The only downside? My room could have used a bit more TLC—definitely not a five-star spa retreat! And don’t get me started on that stubborn air conditioning—it squeaked louder than my mother’s old wedding dress.

    Great Views and Friendly Staff

    I really enjoyed my stay with the stunning views of the lake and the friendly staff who went above and beyond to help. The room was comfortable and I loved that there was a beach access for evening walks. the breakfast was a bit underwhelming, so there's room for improvement in that area.

    The location was fantastic with easy beach access and friendly staff. The indoor pool was enjoyable, and the beach area was well-maintained. However, the room decor felt outdated, and the bathroom could use some improvements. Additionally, the breakfast area was inconveniently located on the third floor with limited elevator access.
