Motel in Transition
Room was nice but smoke alarm was not present and open wires were protruding from the wall. The door to the motel room hallway was never secured. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The lobby had a mildew smell to it. Continental breakfast was limited to cereal, bagels, bread, peanut butter, jelly-no butter. Fruit available. Coffee was in the lobby. I understand there are new owners who are making changes.

Rundown dump that was expensive
This hotel fakes you out with the photos they post online..they use some of the only flattering pics they have..pics are taken at a distance so u cannot see details. It was over $200 for one night stay and the entire place looked as if it were closed for many years and the bare minimum was done to get it open.. carpets we're stained, the place was dirty, dingy, and poorly lit. Garbages were overflowing outside doors onto the ground and was never taken out and cleaned up for our entire stay..the beds were poor condition and uncomfortable. Little to no amenities. I could continue to go on but I think this should suffice..do not stay here..my bet is it's closed for good within 6 months. Also the front desk girl was walking around bare foot and chain smoking cigarettes outside..was hard to find an actual worked that belonged their..she was 19 and running the entire place on a Saturday night with no other help. Very poorly managed hotel. Drive a little farther to Grayling or Clare if u have to if there is no other option at Houghton lake.

Hard to sleep, scary
We found 3 spiders: 2 in the wall and 1 on my bed. I am nervous about spiders, mostly when I am sleeping. Also in our bathroom there was a hole in the wall. Maybe a rat can come in at the night, who never knows.

Unprepared for guests
Hot and cold water plumbing reversed in bathroom sink Dirty face towel No phone No drinking glasses or cups Musty/old odour permeated the room and building. Lots of staining in bathroom area. Plumbing in shower loose. Carpets needed cleaning Big complex apparently recently purchased needs a lot of updating/maintenance seems like they are accepting guests before they are ready. Cash flow? Desk staff, while pleasant enough, seemed inadequate in anticipating guests needs eg complimentary breakfast was missed by us because we assumed there was none but it was held in an area behind some doors. There were no signs directing people and the staff didn't volunteer any info or directions. A simple enough thing to do. Maybe more training?

Travelodge Houghton Lake
We go yearly to visit friends and have stayed when this location was under other ownership. Still.under renovations. Not a good time of year to be there as there is a big community event and things can be noisy.

Never again
We picked this hotel because it was the only one that had room. We checked in around 9:45 pm to find a long line of guests also trying to check in, waiting for a clean room, or needing a second key because the first one did not open the door. After we got our room, 30 minutes later we found the following issues: - outside entry doors could not be locked - overflowing garbage cans right next to the entry way - electronics on the inside of the room door held on with electrical tape - carpet old and worn - no mattress protectors on the bed, just a sheet - boxspring with heavy stains on the side that is visible to the room - oldest TV I have seen in a long time - overall the room was old and in need of a complete remodel - the free breakfast was served in a conference on table cloth that had been used several days and full of stains - the Juice provided was Tang I believe, definitely not orange juice - the Waffle makers were both had broken timers so impossible to get the waffles right - the coffee was served in the hallway away from the breakfast area and was old and burnt To summarize, stay away from this hotel if you can.

Don't do it!
When we arrived at the hotel we actually sat in our car for a good 5-10 minutes seriously contemplating if we HAD to stay here or not, considering we prepaid for this stay we did end up having to stay but we will not stay here ever again. The outside is very run down; broken windows, the side door doesn't have a lock on it so anyone that wants in is free to come and go, our room was dirty- shower had left over washcloths in it as well as used shampoo and bar soap, the towels are stained. Front door service was very poor. We had several heavy bags/coolers for our weekend stay and they don't have courtesy carts or elevators for those on the second floor. I called before arriving to make sure the pool was 24/7 as advertised and I was told it was and it was open, we arrived and the pool/spa were closed, when it did open we were told it closed at 10pm. We will never stay here again. Next time we will spend the extra $30-40 to stay next door at the American Inn.

Hotel need a LOT of work
Hotel feels like it's right out of the 1970s, with perhaps new owners who might be just just barely starting some minor renovations. Rooms are very basic, large hole in bathroom wall where new plumbing was installed. Bathtub had rust stains. Key cards didn't work four times and then when we barely got them to work, they were intermittent at best. Breakfast was pretty horrible, even for motel standards. No hot water for oatmeal, for instance, Sunny D to serve as orange juice. Place just seems from another decade and didn't feel right at all. I'll definitely pass for another hotel in town next time.

They tried but failed.
I needed one cheap room for the night but I wish I would have driven back downstate. If you are going to refurbish a hotel then you should close-off what is not ready and execute the few rooms that you do have flawlessly. My room had cracked glass on inside pane; no pillow cases; no mattress cover (one fitted sheet between you and mattress); bathroom door would not close (screws were stripped in wood); Hotel staff (staff of 2 that I saw) were certainly not rude but lacking of help. I realize some investor group bought this asset (money pit) under the assumption that there would be cashflow but they were not told the full truth.

Run away as fast as you can from this hotel
It was horrible, side entrance door is unlocked all night, paid for queen beds got old full beds. The headboards were caked with dust and dirt, had to take a Benadryl to stay. No phone in room, not even just to call front desk. Musty smelling really bad in main entrance. Neighboring toilet ran all night and we could hear it loudly, our toilet ran too but we would jiggle the handle. Pillows were Holiday Inn pillows. Breakfast was a bag of cereal, milk and coffee. Keep your $50 we will never stay there again! Room looks nothing like pictures.
