The room was clean, minor details, like a hair or a spot on the toilet seat, but we expected some issues. When I opened the door it smelled pleasant, not musty or moldy like other affordable places. If you're in the area & want to save a lot of money and stay in a great value motel, don't hesitate staying here!

I had never taken a car ferry before (and especially not one over an international border) so this…read morewas quite the experience. Googlwle maps directed me here because apparently the border crossings in Detroit and Port Huron were backed up Friday afternoon. I thought there was a bridge here. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was a ferry. I just missed the boat as it was just pulling away from the dock. The US border agent thought that the ferry captain might actually turn around to pick me up. Alas that didn't happen. I asked the US border agent when it would be coming back. He said it comes back as soon as they load up on the other side. So I decided to wait (I was first in line after all.). I grabbed a seat in one of the numerous Adirondack chairs along the river and just enjoyed the cool breeze and took in the view of the river. It was about 45 minutes 1 before the ferry came back, unloaded, and reloaded with vehicles on the us side. You never get out of your car the whole time. You pay the ferry an when he comes up to your car window whole bat sea. $12 cash or charge. On the Canadian side, you drive off the boat and are greeted by one of the 6 or so Canadian border agents. You present your passport (or passport card in my case), they ask you a few questions and you're on your way. The whole experience is quite pleasant. Unlike crossing in Detroit, you're not stick in bumper-to-bumper traffic for an hour idling and inhaling fumes. You can scrotal get up and walk around before boarding the ferry. The trip itself only takes about 10 minutes. The only downside is that you have to pay and there is no duty-free shop. Totally worth it.

We waited in line about 30 minutes only to be told that when we were about to drive in the ferry. To say this was frustrating is an understatement. We wasted HOURS of our night when we could have just driven to Port Huron and crossed there. They need to make this policy known- and not make it a surprise.

I've never been to Harsen's Island or on a car ferry before and truly had no idea what to expect…read more This was both much easier but also more disappointing than I had made it out to be? First off, it's very bare bones. I guess I expected kind of a nice little dock area or something a bit more picturesque but it's very industrial. That's not really that big a deal given it's more of a utility service than some sort of pleasure cruise but it's definitely not a photo op. Mostly dirt, chains, and some construction machinery (so perhaps they're doing work on the area?) They ferry itself is also very unassuming and fits about 9 cars, less if there's a truck or a trailer. My first ride over I was situated next to a small semi and behind me in line was someone towing some jetskis so it seems like they'll take a variety of vehicles over. I was visiting over Memorial Day so the wait was a bit on the longer side but it was also cold and rainy so I think it wasn't quite as bad as it could have been on a nice weather holiday weekend. My return trip I had no wait at all and drove right onto the boat. Staff is not chatty and pretty much only communicates via hand signals (maybe I caught them on a bad day since it was raining?) which confused me a bit at first since they weren't super clear. But it wasn't a debacle or anything. The trip is about 5 minutes give or take (kind of over before I knew it!) and pretty smooth sailing. On our way out to the island we saw the return boat so they're basically running two at a time, one going each direction, so it's regularly taking new passengers. Round trip is $16, no passes for island residents though you can buy a book of 20 tickets for $200 which knocks it down per ride but still a bit steep so you'll still probably want to be strategic about how you come and go since it all adds up.

Pretty hilarious that the first reviewer here said this has got to be the best ferry service to and…read morefrom Harsens Island. It's the only ferry and indeed the only way to and from the island unless you got a boat or a helicopter or something. This was my first time going to Harsens Island and my first time taking one of my vehicles on a ferry at all. I think maybe my parents took a ferry somewhere during my childhood. I have vague memories that could just be some personal Mandela Effect. Who knows. Point is I don't have much, if anything to compare this to. This isn't exactly the epic ferry journey across Lake Michigan that has intrigued me for a few years and I might one day take. You can easily see Harsens Island from Algonac where Champion's sets out from. Vehicles can stack up in the queue but the voyage, if you can call it that, is very brief and painless. $15 for round trip ain't bad, especially for a monopoly. Seems like they could have just built a bridge by now, but I'm sure CAF hates that idea and it would take away some of the charm of Harsens Island. I went over to Harsens Island on a spring weekday just cause I've lived my whole life in metro Detroit and had never been there. It was only about a ten minute wait to get on the ferry going over. The way back was about 25 minutes as a mechanical issue had temporarily sidelined one of the boats and the vehicles were stacked up. They do have a port o potty, at least on the island, and boy, was that clutch! I didn't look on the mainland just cause it wasn't an issue on the Algonac side. I do wonder stuff like how well does this work for an ambulance if someone on the island has a medical emergency? What if there's a big fire the fire department on the island needs help with? That's neither here nor there, though. Just late night thoughts swirling through the old noggin. My experience on this ferry was decent and pretty unremarkable, especially considering I'm a ferry novice.

What a great hotel experience. I was coming into town for a car show located at the casino and was…read morepleasantly surprised to find that my hotel was right next to the casino. This place is really awesome. From the moment you walk in the door you feel like you're home. The people at the front counter were super nice, very chatty, and just overall great at making me feel like I had just come home from a long trip. They have a great breakfast area. Put plenty of seating, they have 24-hour coffee machines, they have a gym, and a a free... Free... Yes I said free... Guest laundromat. The rooms are neat, tidy and comfortable, and really a pleasure to stay in. I was in one of the extended stay suites, and found it to be absolutely perfect. It felt like a nice studio apartment and that worked out fine for my stay as I had work to do while I was here. They have a great breakfast in the mornings, and super nice people working those breakfasts. In fact, I can say with much authority that everybody here has been almost over the top nice. Again, one of the reasons I love Canada. Bottom line? I will absolutely stay here again next year, this is perfectly located and absolutely comfortable after a long day of working. You would do well to check this place out.

Very disappointing experience at Holiday Inn Chatham…read more I arrived on September 16 expecting to check into my confirmed reservation for September 16-17 at $180 plus tax. Instead, the hotel system showed September 17-18 at $255 plus tax. I showed my original reservation details, but the issue was not resolved. Front desk employee Tiffany Gagne told me she did not know what happened and that I would have to wait until the next morning to speak with the manager. Rather than resolving the issue, I was left to find another hotel at the last minute, resulting in additional expense and significant stress. What made the experience worse was how I felt I was treated at the front desk. I felt dismissed and embarrassed in front of other guests while trying to explain the reservation discrepancy, and I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously. I booked Holiday Inn expecting my reservation to be honoured and reasonable assistance if something went wrong. Instead, I was left without accommodation for the night and forced to deal with the financial and personal consequences. I hope Holiday Inn investigates what happened to my original reservation and addresses both the reservation failure and the way this situation was handled by Tiffany Gagne. This experience seriously damaged my confidence in the hotel and the brand.
