Our room was very attractive and functional. More importantly, it was clean and fresh. Bed linens and bed were very comfortable, and there was an easy- to- use temperature control in the room.

The beds are very comfortable, the TV has lots of channels, the bathroom is spacious with a good size shower, and there's a fridge/freezer and microwave. Outside the room is a seating area, in the front lawn area there are chairs and tables and across the street is the water and a playground area. The location is very convenient, even though it's on a highway- from your room you cannot hear any cars/traffic, there is a very good italian restaurant next door to the inn and an ice cream shop a few blocks down. This is one of the best priced places to stay in the area! Overall, this was a great stay and the owners were the nicest!

If you work in customer service you should at least smile at least that was how it was back in the day. She was Not friendly at all !!! She did keep repeating no party's in the room and felt like she was insinuating that's what we were there for! When we got to our room housekeeping did a terrible job!! We had to have them come in to vacuum the room again. Front desk did offer to move us but there was no other pool side rooms available and we had rented three rooms! The pool area was so cold and the rooms were VERY warm as we had to shut off our heat in our rooms and leave the patio doors open! They did finally get some new furniture which was the on the plus side! However one room (108) had a sink that leaked and our friends were to scared to report it as we all wanted to be together not just n opposite sides of the hotel. This hotel needs some "TLC" and a new front desk lady or man !

BUT, we never got our beds made after a week, whether or not we used their "make the bed" cards. They never replace coffee unless we asked. They did some towels, sometimes. And they offered no help at the desk to print- Go to the library was all the said. When I asked mid-way through, do Y'all make beds? The young lady said yes, but never even mentioned their card system? If you don't mind poor customer service and bad staff manners, it's alright. Shout out to the Bar Restaurant team, they were proper. Small side note, been using Yelp for 20 years but this is my last time using it today, they block VPN's and my family's security is more important than their corporate greed harvesting my IP. Also, the Alpena copy shop had the most friendly folks! And the Base Staff are nuthin' short of miracle workers! Had to give a shout since there's no other way to do so.

GROSS! My family and I stayed at the Inn's cottage. When we arrived for our reservation the cottage…read morewas hot & stinky. Windows were closed up and no air conditioning running on a hot summer's day. There is 1 small window air conditioner for the entire place. Besides the heat, the first thing you notice is the gross, mildewy smell when you walk in the front door. Smells like Grandma's attic. Plus, black mold all around the bathtub. The Master Bedroom bed felt like a concrete slab. And what they don't show you on the website is that 3 out of 4 beds are actually in an attached garage & literally placed next to the Inn's storage area of vacuum cleaners, towels etc. Speaking of supplies, they don't even supply toilet paper. At least they were kind enough to supply a fly swatter, so you could swat at all the flying insects landing on you while you're trying to sleep in a garage. Then the cleaning lady busts in the cottage the next morning to do loads of laundry during your stay. We were scheduled to stay 2 nights but we couldn't handle 1 more night and chose to stay at another hotel. If you make the mistake of staying at this place, BYOTP (bring your own toilet paper) and be prepared for a rough night ahead. Before writing this review I brought my concerns to the hotel owner. She was rudely dismissive and refused to refund us for the extra night.

Breakfast and dinner are included in the price of the cabin. There's a weekly menu and everyone eats the same good food. Wednesday was prime rib, so they don't go cheap. Salad bar, fresh baked bread and coffee, tea or soft drinks are included. Tipping optional, on the table or at the end of your stay. It's the kind of place good kids work for the summer, waiting tables and cleaning. Family owned and operated. A nice, friendly place that i will go back to. Cash or check only, no credit cards.
