Avis Lake Fanny Hooe Resort- First floor, 2 bed with Balcony by RedAwning

The location was wonderful. Right on the shores of Lake Fanny Hooe. Within walking distance to nearby restaurants. I had made an error with the days we would be staying, and it was easy to go online and also call to be sure my days of stay could be changed. They were very helpful and accommodating. However, we were a little disappointed with our room. It was pretty run down and outdated. The beds were very uncomfortable. The toilet didn’t flush so we had to put the chain back on inside back of the tank. Then it kept running so we had to fix it again. A few minor repairs and updates would work wonders for the room. I would have been willing to spend a little more for nicer accommodations because being on the lake was a huge plus. We took our kayaks out right from our room and as I said, great location near town.

This is an older building. The bathtub had standing water in it and the bottom of the shower curtain was all black mold. The last 3 days we had mice droppings on the bed in the morning. The mice woke us up as they were trying to get at some snacks we had on the tv stand. They provided a new shower curtain when we asked.

The room needed to be cleaned.

The lake is beautiful and peaceful. The location was perfect. The management was courteous and thoughtful. Our room was not cleaned properly, which might not be a huge problem except the bathroom was not acceptable. We debated leaving but chose to stay. We ended up being fully refunded by request of the property manager, although we just asked for our cleaning fee back, which was very nice of him. They were training in new staff and I can only imagine staffing is difficult in their remote area. Hopefully the problems have been rectified.

It's basically a motel room with a sink, hot plate and mini-fridge in the far reaches of the UP, not some ski-condo in Colorado. But, it gets the job done. Lots of hidden fees not in the upfront price. Overall, you get what you pay for. Better than a Hostel at Mt. Bohemia, and cheaper too.
