The hotel was quiet. No loud noise from traffic on the highway. My room faced 31. My bedding was clean. The mattress was comfortable. The pillows were ok. Wish I would have brought my own pillow. But it’s right next to a Walmart. So if you need supplies. You literally can walk to the Walmart.

The air conditioning in my room worked perfectly. The fridge kept my drinks cold.
I would recommend this hotel if you’re in the area just to sleep and going to Michigans Adventure. I spent 2 nights there.

I disliked, The hotel has no elevator. No breakfast. The pool was dirty.

For an older property it wasn't bad. The price was great for someone that just wanted some place to sleep. We had a fishing trip on lake Michigan, so we slept and checked out early (4:30am). They were not flexible or accommodating to people with handicaps though. When asked for a ground level room, I was told that rooms were already assigned, so they couldn't get me a ground level room. I know I didn't receive a room number until I arrived, so they should have been able to just swap my room with someone else and they would never know it,because they also would not have received a room number until they checked in. If I ever need to make a reservation again it will only be made if they make it with the promise of a.ground floor room or I would go to another hotel.

I booked a trip six weeks in advance to go to Michigan- I was aware of the no refund policy. However over a month before the trip, I tried to cancel due to an illness/ hospitalization in my extended family. I tried cancelling and getting a refund, and the hotel wouldn’t refund with over a months advance notice. Even with the Expedia insurance, I would have had to provide medical records to prove a medical emergency, which wasn’t going to happen. DO NOT RESERVE FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. You will not get money back under any circumstances if you have to cancel, and if you don’t book directly with them, they won’t talk to you and they’ll say you have to go through your app. I can’t express how much you should NOT book at this establishment.

I rented a room at this hotel because it was near Michigan's Adventure, next door to a walmart, not far from any restaurants, and the price wasn't terrible.
As soon as you walk in, you are hit with an overwhelming chemical smell that you can tell is being used in an attempt to cover up the musty/mold smell. The further in you get, the worse off it gets! This place has not not been kept up on. The walls and floors are filthy in the hallways and stairways.
I didn't feel any better when I walked into my room. Everything was covered in dust, the toilet wasn't clean, mold in the shower walls, ripped/stained furniture, broken blinds, disgusting curtains that havent been washed in years, and super uncomfortable beds. No breakfast is served here and the coffee is so horrible.
The steps leading to the outdoor pool are broken along every edge being very sharp and dangerous. One of our family members cut his leg going down them. The outdoor pool was so gross I wouldnt even dunk a toe!
The 3 staff members that I met were friendly and that is about the only thing this place has going for it. I can't imagine they are proud or happy to be working there. There is clearly a lack of management here, if any at all. Needs to be reported.

Do not suggest using this hotel, pay more and stay across the street at Comfort Inn. Poorly taken care of inside and out. Broken and dirty rooms. Pictures on website do not compare to actual experience. Horrible hotel experience. Have had hotel room stays in low income Mexico that were not that bad. We were too afraid of what was on the unclean floors that we didnt allow our kids to walk around inside the room. Stench of smoke, broken cabinets, no elevator for ADA accessibility, loose electrical plugs, non working light switches, etc. Property unkept and to dangerous to even trek to the pool(trash, rocks, sidewalks, dilapidated).

We arrived early to see if we can check in but our room wasn't available which is fine. We went to Michigan Adventures. We came back around 9pm and our room was available. Unfortunately it was on the 2nd floor and the walk to the end of the hall woth luggage and 2 kids was not ideal but it is what it is. Lets not forget the RUDE lady who wasn't at the desk. I had to call up there and wait for her to come and check us into the room they had all day to prepare and clean but did not. It looked like literal blood on the walls when you walk in. I'm not kidding! I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel but at least a place where it was clean. I took pictures just in case they decide to charge me for incidentals that we did not do. And had my family look around as well in case they caught something i didn't.

Should have stayed across the street, this place caters towards traveling construction workers, which is totally fine, but it was loud with guys coming in and out. Lots of smells of cigarettes and marijuana in and out of the property. Hotel staff was helpful in letting us try a room that wouldn’t be as smoky so that was helpful. I wouldn’t let my kids shower there because it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages. Just an overall icky joint. I wouldn’t expect that from a $120 room
