It had a fire, my reservation was switched to the Days Inn, and I was not notified. Had I not called to confirm my reservation I would not have know and would have been a little upset when I arrived and a burned out hotel.

Train your staff!

When we went down to the desk to ask how to get to the pool the girl working the desk told us how to get there which we had to go outside on the coldest day of the year so far to get to it. When we got down to the pool it was locked and all over the hotel it said the pool was open till 11 PM and it was only 10:30 PM. So my husband went back down there and asked the girl if she could open it up? So the handyman came and opened the pool and it wasn’t until we were in there that it said you had to get the towels at the front desk. So back down to the front desk my husband goes to get the towels. So my question is why didn’t the girl from the first time we asked her where the pool was at, Tell us that the pool was locked and be here are some towels for you because there are not any kept in the pool area?

Nice find

I was surprised how nice this hotel was. You can tell it was recently updated. Not a chain hotel just a nice priced local hotel that was clean and convenient. There was a MAJOR problem with our shower however I told them at check out and the clerk was very apologetic and was going to get it checked out. I would give it one more try before giving up on this place.

When we checked in the staff was very rude and short with us. His attitude changed the further we got through the check in process. Haven’t had any interaction with any of the other staff yet. Rooms are decent for the price we got them for. The pool is nice but the hot tube is a little lack of one.

Petoskey stay

No parking near building. I was not notified prior to arriving what a strange way of getting to the room We had to go up steps, down the sidewalk. Then go inside, down the hall (which smelled like fuel oil) then up another set of stairs. Then we had to go outside again.and down the walk to get to the room. The people were nice but would have loved some help with the trip to the room...maybe a map! Horrible linens.
