    Exterior of hotel.

    A nice little hotel situated in the heart of Houghton Lake, MI. I had a nice experience while staying here while I was in town. The hotel offers beachfront access for all of the out-of-town guests along with a volleyball court, fire pit, in-door pool, complimentary breakfast, and free-parking. The front desk agents were very professional and accommodating with my requests. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend staying here if you're in the area. Close to restaurants, gas station, and shops. The reason for my 4-star review and not a 5? The carpet inside the hotel room had stains and the shade lamps were a bit old.

    Terrible, overpriced. Openly mocked by the front desk clerk after telling her my mom was a repeat customer. Go to the pool and the pool has chipped pair in the pool and hot tub, only two jets in the hot tub work. Really kind of disgusting in appearance. Then a family comes in with 20 little kids screaming. The parents seem to not care or watch the kids running and screaming. Then they get into the gross hot tub with me and continue to bump into me repeatedly and I get sneezed on twice lol!!! I will give you yes I am a grump but damn. Talked to the front desk in regards to the child party at the pool and how long it wouldnt be accessible unless you wanted to watch other people's kids scream and bump into you. She just smirked and said "I don't hear anything" Don't stay here way over priced and they don't give a shit about you. Don't get the hot tub suites, they are facing the road and have no balcony, and more like a bathtub, with a hole in the wall. PS: use the baggie for the ice my ice tub had what looked like beard clippings in it.

    This is what we woke up to outside our room.  Nice.

    Hoping to prevent someone else having the same experience - I can't recommend staying here. We drove into town and stayed here on a Friday evening for a funeral the next morning. We booked our room online which was surprisingly easy. However, we were unpleasantly surprised when we arrived to our room to find a loud party of adults, drunk, carrying on right outside our room (we had a beachfront walkout). They had also propped open the hallway door on our floor which not only was unsafe, but let a ton of mosquitoes in, as well as the smell from the dumpsters outside. My husband let someone at the front desk know, and nothing was done. The party carried on until at least 1am, which did not allow us or our baby to get much sleep despite trying to drown out the sound with the room fan. We woke up early next morning to get ready for the funeral service, to a broken screen door that literally fell off when we tried opening it, and trash from the party the night before. I wrote the hotel shortly after our stay to express my disappointment and give them a chance to make it right, but never heard back. Please do yourself a favor and find another place to stay!

    We love this hotel it's one of our favorites especially the rooms facing the lake! The staff here are so generous and make you feel at home. This hotel is really nice for snowmobiling, ice fishing and in the summer you can swim, boat or just sit and people watch The beds are real comfortable also and they offer a Continental breakfast too.

    Staff was very friendly, beach was clean and serene! Made s'mores our last day, sat and watched the stars with the bonfire going on the beach. Fantastic! Making it my business to make this a once-a-year trip for sure! Fourth or July is supposed to be awesome, hoping to come up here again then.

    If you are used to (or looking for) hotel chains like a Holiday Inn, Hilton, Sheraton, etc in this area.. well, you are SOL. Luckily this hotel is a great option which will leave you pleasantly surprised. Fancy it is not, clean and staffed with friendly people it is! Another plus is that the hotel sits right on Houghton Lake, and many rooms look out on this beautiful water and include a private balcony. A quick and simple cold continental breakfast is included in your stay and the beds are quite comfy. The hotel has its own private beach and has a pool and a modest gaming room for the kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay here!

    Firepit on Beach

    We loved this place, the 1st floor walkout to the beach was great. Had a fire pit at night. The only down side was there were bugs, a spider and a Centipede in the room. I am sure it is from the sliding glass door being so close to the lake. Other people probably leave it open a lot. Also they have no breakfast during Covid. But that is understandable. But no discount for that or the creepy crawlies.... Lady manager at front desk was a doll however, staff very friendly. Even the guy working outside was nice.

    The only reason I give them two stars is because staff is friendly and breakfast was alright…read morebesides the sour creamer. Are keys to get in we had to fight to get them to work. Had to go get news keys and one at least worked after hearing the guy had to remake 35 keys for the same reason. Then we thought there was a pool and it's under construction so I paid there regular price and the pool was closed! Pillows were horrible and the bathroom wall was dirty. They never came with clean towels the next day and I had to take the trash out and go get bags which he couldn't find the right bags so he gave me the small bags that go in the ice bucket! There floors were not carpeted in the room which wasn't great and floor was cold. Won't go back!!!!!!

    Stayed here for 2 nights over the weekend of July 25th. Shared the room with my sister And on the…read morefirst night we discovered a blood filled bed bug which we killed and called front desk to change the bedding. At the time we thought it was a tick so we were not super worried. Woke up the next day with large itchy bites on both of us. Next night I woke up in the middle of the night scratching myself. The morning light showed that I was covered in bites. So itchy and uncomfortable!! It was not until later that we discovered it was actually a bed bug instead of tick. If we had known we would have moved rooms or found a different hotel. Be careful if you stay here because chances are you'll be eaten alive by bed bugs!! -UPDATE- After contacting the manager about the situation, I'm even more frustrated with this place. They said because they did not see any bed bugs in the room, that they must not have them. They refuse to refund the room! They refuse to take any responsibility. Shameful. Really upset about this and will continue to update as this unfolds because I'm not letting this go when this 2 night visit has not only traumatized me but caused me enormous financial burden between treating my home, new luggage, a doctors visit, and more!! Unreal.
