We checked in at 9:00pm. The sign was not lit up and we drove by twice. Our code did not work to enter our room. I called the number on our contact list and the person immediately apologized and reset it. But this did not make for a good first impression. The room was very clean and updated. The bed was very comfortable. The linens and towels were fluffy and new. The shower had both a hand held and overhead shower head. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash all good. As mentioned by the hotel the walls are thin and you hear talking, walking and doors. Without the initial glitches I would recommend this room for amenities,location, view of water across the street,and price.

I hate giving bad reviews, but we will not be staying at this property again. It smelled like mold and mildew the entire time we were there. They tried to cover up the smell with chlorine, but it did not work. It was clean and newer, however there was water under the bathroom floor that was squishy and the condensation from the toilet Also ran onto the floor in the bathroom, causing a smell. The quarters, specially, in the bathroom were tight and cramped. We could not find regular TV so we logged into our own Netflix account. Also, there was no staff so we had no one taking out our trash or making our beds or refilling the towels. We were there for the hot air, balloon festival and the price was good, but as I already said, we will not be staying there again.

Brand new furniture. Comfortable bed. Clean except the screen windows need to be replaced. Also, the radiators were extremely dusty and the air conditioner rain all night and was noisy. Other than that…all good!

The outside of the property was not clean and had many cobwebs around the benches, railings, and outdoor hallway ceiling. It just looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time. Our room was fine, but the shower floor needed regrouting around the edges. What was there was not pleasant to look at. Also the floor heater in the bathroom needed paint. The rest was fine, but in general could have been much better. It should be the work of a maintenance crew, not the person who cleans the rooms.

Cute room
While the outside of the hotel shows the wear of its age, and hasn't been updated, the room was very nicely furnished and updated. I appreciated the Keurig coffee maker. There were several kcups and a handful of teabags, nothing decaf though. My only complaints is there was not much water pressure in the shower, possibly due to the updated showerheads? Also the shower did not drain well, so you were standing in a puddle of water while showering. Otherwise the room was nice for the price.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and we were very impressed with the property. The amenities were a nice touch- Keurig coffee maker and everything you need for coffee and tea! Our room was super clean and decorated nicely. It felt like we were guests in someone’s home, rather than a hotel! Location was wonderful and so was the price! No problems checking in, easy to communicate with property via text or phone if needed. Will definitely be back for future trips to the area!

Sometimes better to pay more elsewhere
Entered an unusually warm room on a hot day. Window air conditioning needed multiple steps to operate correctly. Bathroom / Shower door would not close shut. No room service the next day. Our garbage was piled up and not renewed - toilet paper not enough - bugs had webs just beyond the entrance / exit door as we stepped outdoors - no elevator service despite 12 steps exposed to the outdoor weather - two small cockroaches around the Keurig Coffee Maker.

Our family of 3 stayed 1 night and enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the modern decor and cleanliness of our room. Small glitch with everyone that checked in the same time we did. For some reason our codes to enter our rooms didn’t work. Called the # that was listed and they picked up immediately and helped us out. We would definitely stay again if we ever find ourselves back in Petoskey.
