This is right on the river and very convenient to downtown shops and restaurants. I would stay here again!
Gaylene, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel in an undiscovered resort town in eastern Michigan. Nice places to visit with lots to see and do in an up and coming town for tourism.

Lori, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property was excellent in every way. However, the charge was $20 more than the Expedia rate. When questioned, the desk clerk indicated that the extra was due to Expedia, so the rate was the full rate of the hotel. Very disappointed.

I really like this hotel and I’ve stayed here every time I come back to my hometown. But I can tell that the attention to cleanliness and upkeep is severely beginning to lack. Please don’t turn into the old Holiday Inn/Ramada. Breakfast is fantastic and staff is kind enough…but I can tell that they don’t care much about the guests.

When I walked in, the front desk staff was very welcoming! The hotel was super clean, and so was our room. And the bed was super comfortable! The complimentary breakfast was so good, and the variety was incredible. My overall stay was amazing. I’ll definitely be staying here again and recommending this hotel to my friends and family! Thank you for a great stay 👍
