OMG! Yall!!. what a great and family place! We've been here 12 hrs and already having a great time.(staying til monday) cant wait to see what else is in store.. Great rooms (as I'm an OCD person) ! Great price!! I just finished my meal. Yummmm! Tiki bar is not only great but he is a great cook to... If you get time come see these folks!!
Staff was very nice. Had a room with a king size bed it was comfortable. We missed breakfast because we slept in. There is a bar and grill at the hotel. At night it gets a little loud. Only real problem I noticed was there was no smoke detector. Other than that I would stay again.
First the cons: this is an older hotel. Now the pros: our room was super clean and bug free. The place as a whole is clean and quiet. The people here are awesome! They have a pool with a tiki bar, which is a ton of fun! They have an awesome bar and grill where we felt like regulars on our first night. 4 pool tables and two electronic dart boards. Food is great! The free breakfast is actual hot breakfast with eggs cooked to order! We definitely recommend giving them a shot.
Please look past the age of this hotel. Great mixmatched homey large rooms! Nice amenities and comfortable bed. Love the cute fireplace heater! Very clean throughout, very friendly host, comfort-breakfast that's complimentary. Situated within walking distance to other businesses, but itself is a peaceful and quiet hotel. Prices are reasonable, too!
I had a great stay at this hotel! The property has been recently renovated, and all the rooms are brand new, modern, and beautifully designed. The room I stayed in was very clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. They were always ready to help and made sure I felt welcome from check-in to check-out. Their service really added to the overall positive experience
It's half way between Atlanta and Northern Michigan. I've been coming here for years. But I miss the bar, restaurant, and live music by the pool. Wish the owners and staff all the best, you guys rock!
Large room and TV, fridge, microwave. Clean felt safe. Bar and grill attached. Free hot breakfast made to order. Friendly employees. Older motel but everything works great. I would stay again.
Hotel for cheap. Weekly rates available. I visited someone who stays there, is rom liked in ood shape. There's construction going on there to make things better, so we will see how well they did at a later date.
