Great check in! Disappointing check out.
My only true complaint was during check out. My husband and I decided to leave half a day early. I went into the office to give them a heads up and ask about them checking the room as part of the pet policy. Which neither the person I checked in with or this person really knew what to do. I went back to the room, packed and checked back in with the front desk. There was a different woman there and no sign of the one I told I was leaving early. No big. I said “hi, I’m here to check out.” The woman’s demeanor immediately changed and she said, “well I’m going to have to charge you extra.” I said, “oh bc of the dog? I already was charged…” the woman cut me off rather rudely. Loudly and firmly said “NO. For the extra day. Check out is at 11.” She kept speaking over me when I tried to tell her that yes, it’s true but that I’m leaving early. She didn’t believe me even with my reservation on my phone. And mentioned again in a very passive aggressive tone, “11!” She was obviously wrong and became very polite once she realized. The damage was done for me. She didn’t know how to refund me the extra day (honestly I didn’t care. I just wanted to leave) so I told her if you want to waive the pet fee, we can call it square. Welp, a week later and no refund. I wish she had a name tag bc the woman I checked in with when I arrived was very friendly. But check out was a disappointment. This woman’s attitude was very inappropriate and I hope they are embarrassed.

Thank you for taking the time to address all of these concerns. We deeply appologize for the way our staff had gone about things. Upon further review, since it was during shift change and messages seemed to have been mixed along the lines we went ahead and made sure you got refunded for not just the pet, but for that extra room charge as well. Hoping the rest of your stay was enjoyable and we appologize again for the way our staff had acted towards you.

Nice but not a 9.6 as the rating showed
The room was nice and clean. Everything in order. The bad: The toilet flushing was quite loud. The people above us were SUPER load with the kids running around as 6AM! I would DEFINATELY recommend.to others to book your room on the UPPER floor in case you do have obnoxious kids staying in the room above you! Breakfast was definitely a grab and go...nothing special by any means. The help was very nice and courteous.

Check-in was a breeze. We had a problem with the location of our room - it was right next to a hotel entrance door and we traveled with our two dogs - but the staff were happy to relocate us to the backside of the hotel where it was quiet. I initially asked for a ground floor room with outside access, which I got, but with a tour bus rolling up and people fanning that door, it just wasn’t going to work for us. Our second room was wonderful - quiet on the first night, spacious, and very close to an outside door. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Hotel is in walking distance of Driftwood Restaurant and Lehto Pasties. Driftwood had a chill vibe and an expansive menu. Hotel also in walking distance of the ferry docks to Mackinac Island. Great location. Hotel offers a breakfast in the morning - packaged boiled eggs, waffle iron for mini waffles, bagels, cereal, muffins, and yogurt. Staff at the desk, Jennifer, was super helpful and made recommendations and provided prompt assistance when asked. We did have a noise issue on the second night of our stay. Someone checked into the room next to us and slammed the door every time they went in and out of the room. I called the desk and they handled it and we were able to sleep. There’s an indoor pool and hot tub. We didn’t use either, but walked by this area several times on the way to our room and it looked clean. Free onsite parking is available all around the hotel.

The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom clean. I was surprised to see a microwave and refrigerator in the room. The motel was pet friendly which I did appreciate. There were other dogs there but heard nothing as far as dog’s barking. The price was a fair price, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

The room was clean, a littler smaller than I had expected. It was a little cramped having the fridge and micro in the closet. They did not have a hot breakfast. Bagels, cereal, yogurt, muffins. They did have waffles.
