First the great: We…read morestayed here for two nights, and were blown away by front desk service we received from Tyler. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very, very helpful. Thank you, Tyler! We also received exceptional service from our Saturday morning server, Charleine. We ordered off the menu (instead of the buffet). She was thoughtful, cheery, and attentive without being intrusive. Just the traits I truly appreciate in a server. The food itself from breakfast menu was delicious and the servings were ample. Coffee was delicious and I appreciated that they left the pot on the table for me. Pizza we ordered from room service was also tasty. The hotel in general has a swanky feel, and that's not a bad thing. Our room was lovely; very roomy and clean, and our mattress and pillows were SO comfortable! The room itself was very quiet, even though we were near the elevators and ice machine. Now the not so great: The A/C in the room runs very, VERY loud. If you can't handle that when you sleep, then this is not the place for you. Rob was our server on Sunday morning. I'd like to say that we received the same great service, but we did not. He was not at all attentive; he seemed like he didn't want to be there. It took three requests for me to just get a glass of water. We ordered a pizza from room service. They brought up a pizza in a box, but that was it. There were no plates, silverware, or napkins. Seems a little ridiculous for room service.

The hotel is currently going through some property-wide renovations. June 2026... While you can tell updates are underway, my room was brand new! It was super nice and perfectly clean. Thin walls though, can hear the neighbors. the breakfast was the usual standard Hampton Inn spread you know and expect--hot coffee, waffles, and standard breakfast items, which gets the job done. Between the fantastic service and the upgraded rooms, this is a solid place to stay in the area.

The bathroom was "clean" but the shower had mold, and the bathroom door would not close unless we heaved it shut and then we couldn't get it opened without heave ho again! Thank goodness my husband is strong! The room door had a pretty big gap which added a night- lite effect. The coffee was hot and good in the AM.

If you are comfortable camping or staying in cabins then you will be comfortable staying here. If…read moreyou are used to 3 star or better than you may be uncomfortable here but this is rural Michigan and definitely not unexpected. The biggest downside is the bathroom size. It is extremely narrow and if you are tall or a plus size person it will be uncomfortable. There is very little room between the toilet and wall or the bathtub and the wall. If you stay in the cabins there is no view but did feel like it was private. Bringing in an expert for space management and a refresh look would definitely not hurt. Here are the positives! First and foremost the staff is excellent. We encountered several employees and each and every one that helped us were all extremely kind. We have stayed at a total of 8 hotels this trip and they were by far the most friendly and welcoming staff that we came in contact with. The location is absolutely excellent for going to the Locks and going to the local shops. It was great to be able to go across the street to freshen up before a meal or in between tours. Our son had just bought an expensive mattress and went in with flashlights to look for bed bugs and none were to be found and trust me he went down to the mattresses, looked into the corners and under the mattresses as well. A couple of not unexpected moisture bugs were found later in the evening but again this is a cabin lodge type of location near the water. The room was clean and definitely as clean as several others that we stayed at. We stayed two nights but had breakfast only one day at the motel. I definitely regretted not just having breakfast there both days. The food was fresh and for the most part traditional hotel breakfast foods with a fabulous breakfast employee who could not help a person enough.

Lockview was pet friendly, and had a $30 charge for pet cleaning- totally fair. Ultimately, I ended up travelling alone, and the staff removed the pet fee and had my room ready early for check in. The staff is GREAT. It's an older but updated property, and I was able to stay in one of the connected cabins- really cool. Parking was parallel to the door, so close parking was like... 5 feet away from my driver's side door. Push button electronic locks with daily rotating codes- it felt very safe. The cabin was nice and clean, smelled clean, and the furnishings were nice. No caroet, which I prefer- vinyl plank. I enjoyed the round coffee table and the barrel chairs. Made it nice to get some work done not having to sit on a bed, (which would not have been ideal at all since they are raised) at a desk, or in a wingback with no matching height table. Water was hot, TV was great, and the only hiccup was a bad TV HDMI cable which maintenance fixed with a new one in under 15 minutes. Really happy with my stay here, would definitely stay again!

Good: -The young man who checked me in had an excellent handle on customer service. Probably the best experience I've had in a long time. -The room was clean. -The hotel was close to everything. Bad: -The room was fine but AS SOON as the door opened even a little there was clouds of cigarette smoke everywhere. Lots of weed smoke from both rooms on each side. There are big are signs in the room prohibiting cigarette and marijuana smoking but the sign was as far as staff goes to stopping the problem. -The room was pretty run down (tape holding up ceiling tiles, outlets that didn't work, etc.) It is what it is. It's cheap and it's clean so the downsides were kind of acceptable.

Told come back in 20 minutes. Nope still not ready. Sat around with luggage for an hour before we could check in. Front desk staff. check out was rude, and unacceptable. Didn't acknowledge us standing there. Didn't speak to us. Printed our receipt, tossed it on counter. I asked to speak to manager, she held up sticky note that said "what for?". I wasn't sure why she wasn't talking. Maybe a handicap I thought . She just ignored us. I asked again. she wrote another note...what for?...I asked if management is there. She wrote another note...No. my husband asked if there was coffee? She ignored him. He asked again. She wrote ...It's broke. I saw someone come out of office. I asked if there was a manager. She said yes I'm manager. Really?? Front desk just lied and said you weren't here. We told her everything that happened. She didn't seem really concerned. Apologized and said she'd talk to employe. we told her if that was our employee they'd be fired on the spot. Front desk staff is first impression of hotel. Cleaning staff ...did excellent job with what they have to work with. Hotel needs major updating . Tables in our room were all scratched up and old. Bathroom floor tile cracked. Paying for all amenities and not being available and hotel needing repairs is not acceptable. For a Ramada property and cost it should be much much better. Maybe worth 89.00 to 100.00 a night. Definitely not worth $171.00 night.
