Avoid this if possible

When we booked on Hotels.com, the room looked nice and clean but when we went there it was a completely different experience. The bathroom floor was damp, did not have enough towels and all the bathroom fixtures were old. The hallway leading to the room had a damp smell. The beds were old and my kid even found some sand on the bed. The only compliment I can give is that the room had a beautiful view of Lake Huron but that did not make up for the other deficiencies. One other thing - we were troubled by a lot of bugs, we thought they were mosquitoes but they were water bugs. This looked more like a cheap motel rather than a hotel.

We loved that we were on the shores of Lake Huron. The view was lovely and we were able to catch a sunrise that was beautiful. The hotel seems to be under new ownership and rooms are being renovated. When we arrived we were told that the pool/water park had been damaged in a recent ice storm. We were glad we didn't have any children with us that would have been disappointed. Also, the ice machines weren't working but we were told we could use the ice machines next door (at a different hotel). We stayed two nights but there was no housekeeping services. A little TLC would have removed some of the sand that was on the plank floors.
Sunrise outside our room on the shores of Lake Superior.

This wasn't the worst place I've ever stayed at but it definitely needs some work!! If we hadn't been paying lower off season rates we probably would have requested a refund and found other lodging. They are in the process of renovations which I understand. But the bathroom exhaust fan didn't work, the patio doors were filthy, the shower head had very little pressure and then proceeded to leak when we tried to adjust the spray option, the outlets are so loose that our phone chargers kept just falling out and there wasn't even a t.p. roll holder, it had to sit on the bathroom sink. Trish at the desk was friendly, we had no issues with check in, we had plenty of towels and the view of the water was great. We were only in our room to sleep so we didn't go through the hassle of requesting a different room. With so many other options in the area they really need to renovate their rooms in order to stay competitive.
