Upon check in the man at office charged me $20 for my wifes fully registered and papered service dog, i told him it was illegal to charge for a certified service dog and he said he didn't care, the lady chwcking behind me also spoke up and told the reception man it was not legal to charge for service animals, he again said he didn't care. We were tired from driving all day so i paid him and got our room. Besides that, the wifi didn't work, the room was dirty, the shower backed up with dirty water. We will never stay there again. Disgusting. Steve

The Lake Huron waterfront location is beautiful. However my room has an empty fitting on the wall where the smoke detector should be. This is disturbing.

The view from the rooms AMAZING!. Was horrified by the stench of cigarette smell and mustiness. Would have been sick in first room. Could not have done it. Convinced the proprieter to give us another room. Still musty, but were able to air it out. Heat was turned off. Looking around inside, it was clean, new bathroom

Stayed here for work when passing through. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming, the restaurant had a good selection and the burger I had was top notch. Very well kept property, beautiful view of the lake. The room it self was very clean and quiet, but it was quite dated. Wifi was a bit too slow to be useful for me. Bottom line, this is a clean quiet place to stay with good food, amazing view and very affordable rates, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
