There is a snowmobile trail that used to be a road but not any longer. There is a sign for snowmobiling route however, it's back off the path and usually behind a snowbank. When we got stuck there, the tow truck driver said that he got a text from the snowmobile grommet that he was sending business his way. It was $125 to pull us all of 35 feet. We saw 3 other vehicles do the same thing. If you don't want to get stuck, use the driveway in front of Taco Bell. The hotel also doesn't enforce the trucks that are pulling trailers for snowmobiles, be parked in the trailer parking lot and those trailers take up 5-6 parking spaces.

We came across the wonderland hotel and were a little worried due to other reviews. There's not a single thing wrong with the hotel. The room are small and outdated but they give off that cute older cottage type vibe. Furnished with tv, microwave and fridge with a small compartment for freezer space,. My only complaint is the bottom of the showers is made out of a rough bumpy material that hurts my feet but wearing flip flops or sandals in the shower solves that problem. WiFi doesn't always stay connected the best but for me that's not a huge deal but might not be ideal for someone working remotely. Owners are great, little family run motel. They have been great and understanding as I have had to extend the stay more than once waiting for our van to be ready.

I have the pictures & unfortunately still the heebie-jeebie memories of having to clean our own room- we certainly left it Cleaner than what we came into... I feel awful because I really did think they initially were nice people at this place of business, but now after this phone call & the threat of being sued & the nasty untruthful comments made on my phone- I no longer have any respect for the staff/owners of this establishment. There is a direct and define difference legally & morally between facts that can be substantiated & slander.

Plenty of parking, great amenities - we didn't have time to take advantage of the free bikes and kayaks but what a great option to have!

Our room was recently renovated. It was perfect for us since we parked right outside the door. It was tastefully decorated with scenes of Michigan's natural beauty. Outside, there was also a pathway along the lake to go for a stroll and enjoy the outdoors. I would definitely return to this hotel on my next visit to Escanaba!

That's the only semi-negative thing I will say about this place, The hotel is nice, the workers were nicer, the rooms were clean and the halls were quiet. The continental breakfast was pretty solid too. Bananas (finally! after 9 days in Michigan hotels, I was beginning to think there was a law against them) mini omelets, bagels, muffins, cinnamon rolls, turkey sausage and a pancake machine. The real star of this hotel is the back patio view. Sitting on their deck enjoying the views of Lake Superior while having a cold beverage is pretty amazing.

Hay thanks but isn't it housekeeping's job to make the beds and clean the room? Unacceptable!!! Now why did I rate our stay 5 stars? The manager heard of our experience and took action that demonstrated why she's the manager. She sent Caylib and DeShawn to our room to make the beds and clean the bathroom! They were perfect! Understanding that things don't always go right, it's nice to know that there are people that step up and do whatever it takes to get the job done.

This is not a 4 star property, rather I'm rating it 4 stars for the expectations on this level…read more On arrival, we received a warm welcome from the staff. Our room preference (high floor/ end room) was granted - much to my husband's dismay... as he was carrying the tour back to the furthest possible point from check- eek. (We did move the bike to the other end for check-out & he was in a much better mood after that shorter trek.) The rooms were noted as renovated a few years ago. Had I not known going in, I'd have guessed 80s (as the hubby did when I asked him to date the last update). The ceiling is concrete & painted mauve, making for (much appreciated) serious noise reduction & perhaps a bit of a hospital or prison feel, if you will. The walls are a light gray, as is the furniture. The artwork (3 pictures) was oddly small (8x10) & hung oddly. They furnishings were, perhaps, excessive. To open up the space & reduce the crammed in strangely look, I'd suggest removing a couple of things. There was a wall shelf/ TV holder. Under that was a desk, literally pushed under, as was dresser. It looked as if the furniture was pushed back for cleaning, stacking it up. There was also a wardrobe, chair & table that slides over the chair (think tv tray). The room was exceprionally clean & in excellent condition. It was 3/4 bath with a large shower - no tub. The bed was comfortable & temperature control worked well. The pool & sauna are not to be missed! The location is great for accessing assorted things to do. All in all a very good stay. We simply have a different taste than the decorator did, apparently. We are platinum with IHG & booked directly, without using points.
