The bath tub needed scrubbed. It was black from being used over the years. There were big spiders in the corners of the ceilings. The balcony was covered with dead insects and spider webs and the cleaning people came and remade our bed and when we returned to our room in the evening our door was open.

It was nice that the property is right on Houghton Lake with a pretty lawn out back. The room was clean and comfortable and all staff I encountered very pleasant. Balcony was not clean--lots of dead bugs, cobwebs. It was a nice place to sit but there was a large group on the lawn under the balcony playing loud music on an outdoor speaker for HOURS.
