It was the little touches from the personalized note to wonderful selections of beverages and snacks in my room. The dinner menu, though brief, had variety. I had a new item, ricotta on sour dough toast.........it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive, I will be sure to recommend.

I recommend having something simple on the menu for those who wish to have something more traditional to make appealing to everyone. We were in the back area. It would have been nice to have had a couple chaos and table outside our room. The hotel was far from full so moving to outside our room would have been much appreciated for our personal experience.

As to rooms, our room (32) shared a wall with the front office so we awoke to classic rock radio blaring through in the early am.

There was no food at this location during our stay - would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Had to go 10 minutes into town for every meal, including breakfast. Also, very low pressure water made showers and toilet flushing interesting. Nice mid-century vibe.

Noisy as it gets

There are pros and cons to this hotel. Pros are the staff are friendly and helpful and the grounds are beautiful. The cons however are the rooms. We did not sleep all night as we could hear both sets of neighbors. All night we heard people yelling, slamming doors, or talking. There is no one at the front desk after 8pm to address these issues even though there is a quiet hour time. Additionally, our air conditioner sounded similar to a jet engine and the clock next to the bed makes noise every time a minute flips on it. The entire experience was incredibly disappointing and not at all restful.

The style of the room was good, but the window air conditioner was noisy and interrupted sleep.
The window blinds were hard to operate. If they were not up completely, outdoor lights would illuminate the bedroom.
Pricey for what we got.

We enjoyed staying here as a one-night deal as part of our Michigan roadtrip! Absolutely beautiful property and very nice room. I honestly loved not having a TV. They had so many other things to do with either your people or socialize with others staying there. I wish we stayed longer to utilize their amenities more.

Absolute RIPOFF! This property lacked any semblance of service or hospitality- no tv, no fridge, no microwave, strange smell in room, paper-thin walls, some vague and unofficial \"quiet time\" that meant NO NOISE at all from the paying customers after either 8, 9 or 10pm.
No staff AT ALL on site after 9pm, no assigned parking and the onsite bar patrons would TAKE YOUR PARKING while at dinner. Terrible stay, do not recommend

The hotel was very nice. We pretty much had it to our self since it’s off season. Pool won’t be ready until summer. Cafe not available after certain hour or on Monday. I wish there was a continental breakfast included in your stay for the price. The bed was very comfortable. Awesome view of the lake.

OTIS is incredible! From check-in to check-out, our stay was top notch. The location of OTIS is perfect! The rooms are beautiful, the beds/bedding, most comfortable. The redo of this whole space is top notch! My favorite was the bar area. I named it the gathering place because you truly do walk in and feel invited, warm and welcome. Also, excellent coffee!
