Property is nice & clean. Area was quiet. The pool & jacuzzi were working fine when I got there since I saw people actively using them & then for some reason, was placed out of order the next morning. No idea what happened there. There was a couple checking into their room the same time I was. I noticed I was asked way more questions about my stay than they were. I answered the same question 3 times about the number of people staying before I was given the paperwork & keys. The couple next to me had already gotten their keys & left. I felt a little interrogated. After driving 4 hrs I just wanted to get to my suite & rest. Fair warning to fellow people of color: This area of Michigan is not used to seeing anyone that does not look like them. People will be visibility awkward, uncomfortable & nervous around you if you are not of Caucasian decent. They do their best to hide it well but it was very evident. There was a caucasian couple checking into their room the same time I was. I noticed I was asked way more questions about my stay than they were.

I felt a little interrogated. After driving 4 hrs I just wanted to get to my suite and rest. No one was outright mean, rude, nasty to me at all, but I did get a lot of stares everywhere I went around town. I will not stay here again, personally.

What an amazing Gem to find! The hotel's amenities are impressive, including a delicious complimentary breakfast with a wide variety of options, as well as complimentary bicycles and kayaks for guest use. The patio's fire pit and the clean, comfortable rooms further enhance the overall experience. I have already made a reservation to return next month.
