There was a lot of small issues but the worst was the guest service…read more Honestly we found a lot wrong with the place (our room turned into a sauna late at night, the light switches didn't work, holes in the sheets, an odd children's book on the bed, etc).... But the real struggle was the service when we went to breakfast. The eggs were somehow rubbery and soggy, and the pancakes burnt and cold. My wife is a professional chef and said it's one of the worst breakfasts she's ever had. But we weren't going to say anything. But when the innkeeper came around to take our plates and asked "Are you done," we even pleasantly responded "Yes, thank you." But when she turned away and saw food left on our plates she mumbled "what a waste!" Again, we weren't going to say anything...but we quietly told her "There's food left because it was terrible." Instead of "Sorry you didn't like it" the innkeeper said "You don't know what you're talking about!" Who says this to guests? A professional chef doesn't know bad eggs and pancakes? Even without a professional chef, if a guest doesn't like your food you don't respond like that. She then said you should take a teaspoon of everything first too see if you like it. What?? No, you should expect the food to be edible. Then when I went to check out she held her hand out and said "keys." That's it. So I dropped them on the desk. She said "Have a day." Ridiculous guest service. I thanked her sarcastically for the "great service." And her response was "Whatever." Really class act

We loved staying at the Montague Inn. It's such a quaint little B&B with a gorgeous view. The…read moregrounds are perfect for a wedding, you can just see from the layout where the path/aisle would be to walk down, the front structure, all the space for chairs and a giant empty grass section perfect for a party tent. The Inn would be a great place for the wedding party to stay at. We stayed at the Norman Little room. It's not big, but honestly, since we only stayed for one evening, the size of the room didn't really matter. The most important thing was having an en suite bathroom and we had that. The next was a comfy bed, and we had that, too. The host was very kind and walked us to our room and we asked for additional pillows and she brought them right away. Since we're old and boring, laying in bed to watch Netflix was about the perfect ending to a great evening. Since we've never been here before, we didn't really know what to expect for breakfast. I wasn't expecting gourmet, so seeing hot eggs, potatoes, sausages, pancakes, and all the other basics (bagels, hardboiled eggs, etc.) was quite impressive. Coffee was coffee, k-cups and regular drip. Again, I don't come to a B&B to get fancy coffee, as long as it gets my heart started, that's all I need. I'm not sure what the pricing is like in the summer, but it was an awesome deal during the off-season. I would love to stay there again some time.

Wow, what an Arena! I came here for the Bob Segar concert last night and had a really good time. I…read morelike this arena for a few different reasons, and seems to be more my speed then some of the arenas down here in Metro Detroit. For starters, parking here is a breeze. Easy in easy out. The arena isn't huge, and all the seats are amazing. I was on the floor, and there were folding chairs with numbers written in chalk. Whatever, it worked. They have a few light food options, but due to it's smaller size, I didn't see any restaurants. Mostly pretzels, maybe a hot dog or two with beer and beverages. I don't know if there's dining options close to the arena since I ate before I left. The bathrooms were in good shape despite the lines. the smoking section sucked! cramped and small with people pushing and shoving. The hallways to walk to your seating were in good shape, and the signage was easy to read. Oh, and the staff here was super professional! Everyone was in matching shirts and there was a lot of staff. I had to ask where the bathrooms were and how to get to my seats, and there was always someone available and ready to help. Ushers were on point too, and that was a bonus!! Overall, even though its a bit out of my way to get here, I had a really good time and would love to go to another concert here because of the great seating. Thank you Dow Event Center!

I decided at the last minute to come up here because there was a scrapbooking convention going on,…read moreand I figured since the weather's still nice, I would cruise up to Birch Run and hang out for a little bit. The place was easy to find, but I did pass it the first time around because I missed the driveway as I passed it. It kind of snuck up on me! Anyways, when I got there, it was slightly smaller then I had anticipated, and was rather dated. I didn't expect much for Birch Run, but it is Birch Run. I mean, I know a lot of people may not live here, but it is kind of a destination and attracts a lot of people with the shopping and Frankenmuth being right down the street. Needless to say, I was slightly dissapointed and expected something slightly more modern and up to date. The place itself is not terribly big, but not small either. They seem to do a lot of smaller events, and the layout was okay. Can I emphasize how dated this place is? I felt like it was something out of the early 1980's with the red railings and probably could use a few updates. I wasn't expecting something the size of Cobo Hall, but I was hoping it would be in better shape. Parking was ample and they had restrooms throughout. The line went out the door for tickets by the time I was done shopping, and it seemed a bit clustery. I would go here again if I was in the area and there was an attraction being held here that I was interested in (like the scrapbooking convention going on.) the entrance is directly across from the Birch Run entrance and near Tony's off I-75.

At any rate, chose Maxa's for a funeral recently and they were great! Had a wonderful spread and the food was fantastic! They had (good) German food for our family, which is hard to come by with area caterers, it was a big hit, only wish it had been for a better occasion. Sauerkraut and sausage, German potato salad, you name it! The pasta salad didn't do much for me, but others liked it. In the past, I've had their brown rice and their chicken, which as memory serves, was good as well. Mike Maxa kept in touch about the details and was very good to work with, very responsive. I will say it a touch on the pricey side, but he worked with us as much as possible to keep excessive costs down, and at any rate, food was worth it!

The only reason I even gave it 1 star is because it's mandatory when writing a review. I recently…read moreattended a wedding reception that was catered by Maxa's and it was by far the worst I'd ever experienced. They arrived very late which caused dinner to be pushed back. The food was placed on the tables in the pans they were cooked in without any chaffing dishes to keep it warm. Utensil's were placed in what looked like something used in a school cafeteria. The chicken was dry, the mashed potatoes were no good/tasteless. From being late to the bad food, the way they set the food up. There was nothing appealing or even good that I can say about the service I experienced. Spend your money wisely and hire a reputable catering service.
