At the desk they are ok. Secondly, not a clean place. Mattresses leaning up against windows, towels were all stained up (which leaves me wondering if they were ever washed). Missing lightbulbs, microwave in room had to be pulled out of cabinet & set on FLOOR if you wanted to use it. Coffee pot without the pitcher. Pool area with lumber along the sides. I would think twice about getting in the pool. If the hotel isn't very clean, would the pool chemicals be appropriately monitored? Can't say anything about the hot tub as it was closed (which is probably a good thing). It was a very uncomfortable stay. This hotel was a joke. I recommend staying at ANY other one than this one. I really can't say anything positive about this place.

The cottages were a little dated and very basic, right on the beach with incredible lake views. Steps to the lake, access to your own small strip of beach including lounge chairs and fire pit. WiFi/cell service was spotty. There are kitchen supply essentials for your convenience, but stop at the Walmart in town for groceries or any of the many party stores on your way. The cottages are a short drive in either direction to Oscoda or East Tawas, where you'll find grocery, gas stations, chain eateries plus a handful of local places, and a few options for entertainment like bowling and movies. Super adorable Alpena is about an hour away and Mackinac Island is roughly 3-4 hours, if you fancy a day trip.

Upon our arrival there were 3 employees bashing a guest from the night before. We went in the hotel and I noticed a distinct mildew smell. Enterinng the room there were toddler hand prints all over the mirror. We left, went to the beach. 3 hours later the same employees were still sitting outside. The biggest surprise came when the lights went out. A COCKROACH was crawling across the comforter. We had to back and leave at 1am. The front desk tried to say we brought in the cockroach from home. When we showed them the picture they said it waasn't there hotel even though it is clearly there carpet. Disgusting people. They all have a very thick accent. The employees were rude and stated the rented the room the very next day without remediating the problem. Liars is what you are going to find here.

After my contactless (COVID protocol) check in, I entered a room was clean and well maintained. The wood paneling and the (plastic) antlers over the bed gave an up-north rustic atmosphere that wasn't over-the-top kitschy as is the case at some of these older mom-n-pop operations. Bed was on the soft side but not uncomfortably so. Thicker curtains wouldn't be a bad idea here, as the lights over the sidewalk along the front of the motel shine through rather brightly. Bathroom was clean. The shower looked like it had been recently retiled. A full closet gave room to keep my luggage and gear convenient but out of the way. I would have liked a little more light in the rear end of the room, over the table, as I had some work to do while there. This wasn't primarily a working trip for me, but if you were staying on business, you might want to bring a table lamp. At least the table is large enough to comfortably spread out a laptop, papers, etc. A good find, with better quality and value than most comparable motels.
