Comfortable for a night's stay. Our room was very spacious and clean. The hotel is close to the highway and a short drive to restaurants in town. Staff were all very friendly.

This was a great place to stay after a concert at Soaring Eagle. It was about $100 cheaper than place in Mt. Pleasant and just 20 minutes away. Staff was friendly, and room was spacious. Eady on and off from the highway without the highway noice. We'd stay here again.

Nice staff but could use some extra help.
The staff was very nice and trying to do the best they could. They were unfortunately short staffed and trying to more then they should be doing.
After get in the room we noticed that half of the lamps in the room were missing light bulbs or the bulbs didn't work. We did go to the front desk to see if we could a couple new bulbs, but there were no extra light bulbs available.
The staff that was there did a nice job. They just needed some more support to be available to do their job properly.

Not that great
Reuested extra pillows they were able to spare one, our room had a refrigerator but no microwave. The bed was comfortable, the shower gel dispenser in the shower was empty. Breakfast was not good at all unless you like waffles. There was no salt or pepper to.be found anywhere, food wasnt very hot and biscuits and gravy were tasteless.
I needed the speak to front desk, the hostbwas on his phine in the breakfast area for 5 kinutes before noticing me. No that friendly whatsoever

Breakfast was best part. After traveling and getting settled there was no control for tv wanted to watch news weather for next day activities. Their response instead of bringing another controller or switching tvs was we can switch your room. After traveling for hours and already in packed and in our pajamas we did with out for a 221 dollar room serious disappointment.

Great hidden gem for visiting Central Michigan- very quiet, off the road so no traffic noise. Breakfast had a nice variety and refilled things. Staff attentive and kind.

The bed was very firm. Rooms are outdated. Breakfast was the same every day. The coffee machine was broke in the breakfast area. Rooms were clean and staff was very friendly.

The room we were staying in was above the lobby, so we heard the door opening every time someone entered the hotel. It was constant even during sleeping hours. The room was clean and bed was comfortable, but the maintenance done in the room was terrible. The calk job looked like a 5 year old did it. The shower needs some grips on the bottom so you don't fall. I had to use a towel.

Was just okay. Outside of building was less than impressive. Inside was cleaner than the exterior lead to us believing it would be. Still had a few dirty/unkempt areas. Smell was a little off, not quite bad but not pleasant either.

The hotel overall wasn’t too bad except when getting out of your vehicle you couldn’t stand in one place for long because the sidewalks were covered with ants. The room was okay but the latch on the door kept sticking and if we didn’t make sure it wouldn’t latch and someone could walk right in the room. The breakfast was terrible! They only had some heat and serve sausage links waffles. The fruit was dried out and looked like it had been there for a few days. It looked like they possibly had eggs but the tray was empty. I went to get breakfast at about 9:15 am and very few people were there so I assumed there should some food there??
