I paid about $50 for one person, one night. I've posted more pictures from this trip to show the cute room. This place embodies everything I hope for in an older motel. It is clean and well-kept, inside and out. If it weren't for wanting to travel around the state I could be very comfortable staying here for a week or two.

The hotel is located right on Lake Huron within very short walking distance to the main strip with all the shops and restaurants. Fast food , Starbucks and Walmart is 1/2 mile down. The first time, we stayed on the city side and on the 2nd floor. The room was not really updated but it was clean . The bathroom could have used a better cleaning but I always travel with my own cleaning supplies cuz I don't trust even a 5 star hotel. LOL The 2nd time , we stayed on the bay side on the first floor. Not a fan. We were in room 100 which is the first room, and right by the front desk, vending machine and back door (which leads to a patio and the beach). Very noisy room. Don't recommend if you don't like noise . Plus people right out your window playing cards loudly all night . The front desk was super sweet. Offered to change rooms but we decided we'd stick it out in room 100 and it ended up being much quieter the 2nd night. We tried to get breakfast at their restaurant one morning but only one waitress and she said it would be a long wait. My only other issue was the amount of chlorine in their indoor pool and hot tub , not to mention all The sand in them. There were so many chemicals in that pool, it took us at least a week worth of showers to get the smell off of us. But the beach and tiki bar being right outside your door is the main reason we love this place. The kids love it, we love it. We don't have to drive anywhere while we're here.

Looking to book a stay for a weekend getaway or business trip? Look further because this is one of…read morethe worst places we've ever stayed. We had our wedding here and they were extremely rude and hateful towards us and our wedding guest. They were also giving out our room number to be jerks without verifying they were with the wedding party. We paid $400 to use their arch that they did not decorate. I had to get help with it. The event coordinator Christina, walked past us and didn't acknowledge us after we checked in. It was very rude. As a coordinator, you should check in with your guest once they are settled. I had to go track her down because we needed to go over a few details for the beach wedding. She claimed she wasn't ignoring us but that's a bold face lie. She still did not speak or acknowledge my now husband the entire weekend. She said nothing else to me after I tracked her down the day we arrived. She said she doesn't like bothering guest but that's BS. She was all over taking care of other guest even when she wasn't needed. She kept no communication with us. She also sent someone to tell us my service dog wasn't allowed there when they knew. I had to show the service dog license. We went to the onsite bar after the wedding and the only word she said to my fiancé was "what do you want to drink?" No congratulations, no is there anything else I can do for you. Nothing! We met some awesome ladies there the day we arrived and the following day, they asked the front desk if they could leave a package for us and asked if they knew where we were. They were instantly rude to them as well. Apparently they have issues with LGBTQ people because we witnessed a completely different attitude when they handled other guest. It was extremely upsetting and they made our Wedding Eve terrible! It was so bad it caused a lot of emotions because the treatment was so bad. No one felt welcomed. The bartenders were the only nice people at the resort. Very nice bartenders. PS. They're nice until the day of knowing you get no refund when it's the day of the event.

They have a variety of bicycles/scooters and small water toys, fishing, and the campfires are wonderful. Great view of Tawas Point and the lighthouse. The owners are willing to bend over backwards to help a person out. There are scads of movies to rent, their advice is always welcome for things to do. There are no phones, which IMO is a plus! BBQ's are available, as is a swingset. There are board games and a small take one/leave one library. Each cabin has a kitchen with fridge/stove/micro/coffeepot, and at least a 3/4 bath. TV with basic cable. No two cabins are alike! This place has charm and personality to spare. Our family has been coming here for 15+ years and have seen the many improvements and maintenance of this place. Highly recommended.
