I went to urgent care and confirmed that they are caused by bed bugs. Talked to the hotel, they refused to admit their mistake first and promised to contact me for solution later. It never happens. The worst hotel stay ever. I have never been such angry at a hotel. I think a non-bedbug room is the basic for a hotel. ##### B helpful Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 24, 2016 Liked: Staff & service #### It was not like the picture it showed. The rooms were far from the water, not like to picture. The living space was nice but the beds were very uncomfortable, we didn't even stay our second booked night. The room was very cold and drafty, and the thermostat was programed to 68 degrees and we very cold, it did not warm well. It didn't even come with towels! We had to go and buy our own. We wanted to rent snowmobiles and was told it was too warm, it was 35 degrees outside! When we asked around they said that it was not true, plus we saw many other people riding snowmobiles. Very disappointed. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Mike Jan 23, 2022 ##### Mike Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Treetops Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Grayling-Hotels-Treetops-Resort.h914489.Hotel-Information) > - [Crooked Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Hotels-Crooked-Lake-Resort.h31422390.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ann Arbor West by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Ann-Arbor-West.h9215322.Hotel-Information) > - [Pictured Rocks Bed And Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Marquette-Hotels-Pictured-Rocks-Bed-And-Breakfast.h10044940.Hotel-Information) > - [St. Clair Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-The-St-Clair-Inn.h36685.Hotel-Information) > - [Super 8 by Wyndham Marysville/Port Huron Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-MarysvillePort-Huron-Area.h856217.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lakeview Hotel, Shanty Creek Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-The-Lakeview-Hotel.h1104351.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Bay City - Riverfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Bay-City-Riverfront.h1077165.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Brighton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Howell-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Brighton.h32102546.Hotel-Information) > - [The Highlands at Harbor Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Petoskey-Hotels-Boyne-Highlands-Resort.h13205714.Hotel-Information) > - [Drury Inn & Suites Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Drury-Inn-Suites-Frankenmuth.h58071.Hotel-Information) > - [Frankenmuth Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Frankenmuth-Motel.h1148366.Hotel-Information) > - [Double JJ Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Era-Hotels-Double-JJ-Resort.h3062219.Hotel-Information) > - [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Frankenmuth.h882233.Hotel-Information) > - [Clear Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Grayling-Hotels-Clear-Lake-Resort.h10356891.Hotel-Information) > - [Four Winds Casino Resort – New Buffalo](https://www.expedia.ca/Benton-Harbor-Hotels-Four-Winds-Casino-Resort-New-Buffalo.h13278629.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay Mills Resort And Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Brimley-Hotels-Bay-Mills-Resort-And-Casino.h11980098.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Inn & Suites Clarkston Pine Knob Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Comfort-Inn-Suites.h68623534.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Midland by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Midland.h2462677.Hotel-Information) > - [Wingate by Wyndham Brighton](https://www.expedia.ca/Howell-Hotels-Wingate-By-Wyndham-Brighton.h126779.Hotel-Information) > - [Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Frankenmuth-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-And-Suites-By-Marriott-Frankenmuth.h281052.Hotel-Information) > - [Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest](https://www.expedia.ca/Ann-Arbor-Hotels-Ann-Arbor-Marriott-Ypsilanti-At-Eagle-Crest.h28149.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton Inn Midland](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Midland.h116959.Hotel-Information) > - [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Port Huron](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Huron-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Port-Huron.h42075.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Universe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Monroe-Hotels-Splash-Universe-Resort.h21760670.Hotel-Information) > - [Marv Herzog Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Marv-Herzog-Hotel.h13006478.Hotel-Information) > - [Torch Lake Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels-Torch-Lake-Bed-Breakfast.h11601400.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Frankenmuth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Frankenmuth.h6621673.Hotel-Information) > - [Black River Retreat (Dog Friendly!)](https://www.expedia.ca/Ironwood-Hotels-Black-River-Retreat.h33500821.Hotel-Information)
