Might again be a staffing issue, as we asked the front desk person about this, and he later said that he forgot to do this (suggesting he had to do this himself) - common spaces are too cool - pool is small but usable - rooms are spartan but clean and have functional refrigerator

My husband surprised me with dinner at the Union Hotel for my 70th birthday. It was supposed to a…read morewonderful evening. While the food was good, the atmosphere was horrible. Our waitress's serving station was literally up against our table. I could have reached over and helped myself to other diners' food. She had 4-5 tables, so there was constant activity with serving and clearing. It was a horrible distraction!

A rare mom n pop motel that is clean and maintained. Rooms are ready by 1:00 p.m. and there is a cold breakfast in the office. By cold I just mean they aren't able to have waffle irons and hot food due to space and state regulations the owners quickly told me, although I didn't ask. There is a small table and two chairs outside of every room to sit and enjoy the view and the cool fresh air off the lake. There are no negatives from the owners but just be aware located on a state highway it's very noisy late into the night with trucks and motorcycles racing and many cars that don't seem to have mufflers in the area, an oddity I suppose.

I'll start with noting this property has changed ownership (& names) frequently. It's back to being The Karsten (nest) Hotel as of about 5-6yrs ago. There is no website so you'll be booking 3rd party online or calling in your reservation. The desk isn't always manned so calling may take some persistence. You'll also be getting called around 9pm, if you haven't made it in yet (there is a number to call on arrival if the office is unmanned.) We booked 3rd party pay on arrival through Expedia for $198 (2ni) in a Deluxe Q lake view on arrival we paid $202 [the owner initially thought it was just 1ni & was ready to adjust pricing, thinking we were being overcharged - i appreciate that kind of honesty) On entering, we noted it was a basic Q room & it appeared housekeeping had gotten distracted when cleaning the bathroom as it was partially completed, with the tub missed (had a presumably used towel, near empty & lid removed shampoo & a used bar of soap, along with hair from assorted body parts. The owner was quick to respond, noting the Expedia booking was rate coded as Basic room & he immediately offered a new room. Alex, the owner & manager has had the place for 5yrs. He takes great pride in the property & is happy to exchange stories. We thoroughly enjoyed the talks. His integrity is certainly note-worthy. The lobby is filled with historical info & the closed bar is a marvel. Operation is more like a BnB than hotel. Meaning, the office area is often unmanned & much is on the honor system, including the dining area where water, soda, juice, fruit, bars, cereal, breads & accompaniments were available. The rooms vary in size & all include tubs, some jetted. I could actually envision a less is more take, removing some of the eclectic decor to really let the historical property sing. As well as hiding mini-fridges in the wardrobe (which is designed to hold a mini-fridge) or removing them completely. Though I'm sure many want the fridges. I'd recommend replacing shower curtains with washable ones or even glass, for easy cleaning and a good vinegar soak to free up the shower head flow. What the property lacks in luxury, it makes up in character & definitely isn't for every traveler. It's old, no denying it. Still, the bedding was fresh & the rooms were odor-free. Windows don't open, though the temperature control works great & each toom controls their comfort level. The front door remains locked & you're given a key for that door, as well as your room. Unoccupied room doors are left open, so you can explore. Room 310 was Agatha's, a long-term housekeeper & 1 of at least 3 ghosts who reportedly decided to spend their afterlife here. As for the ghosts, i heard 4am running in the hall... was it little Billy, the youngest spirit? It could have been or maybe it was another guest... There are plenty of noted experiences to go through in the lobby & I'm sure Alex could tell you even more.

Check in was great; We were given tickets for each day for breakfast, room was clean and everything shipshape. We found a place to eat that we picked out before our arrival at the hotel. There was a nice dinner group as we arrived; that's always nice to see. Upon returning to the hotel we stopped in the bar and met Conner, the bartender. He was a nice bartender and good conversationist. Filled us in on the history of the inn. Breakfast Saturday morning didn't disappoint. We got certain breakfast entrees to pick from or you could use the voucher for a $7.50 towards other entree items and pay difference and any tax. Nice idea! Gone all day so back later to hotel. Breakfast again Sunday morning; same routine. They had a large breakfast group Sunday morning and all not people staying at hotel. So local come for the breakfast as well! Definitely a nice place to stay. The scenery was great and lots going on around the city.

My wife and I were so involved in events in Texas, we both forgot our 24th anniversary. What to…read moredo? Where to go? We are weird as we like to treat ourselves to restaurants out of our own city. I had researched the Stebbins before. It seemed like a worthy place for our celebration. So we called and made a reservation (good thing we did, as they were turning people away without one); and took the scenic drive to Algoma. We got there early and sat at the bar. We told the barkeep we were there for our anniversary celebration. That was the right thing to say as the staff fawned us after that. We had a couple of Tanqueray and tonics that were sufficiently stout. The bar area was fairly raucous as the Brewer's game was on. Then we found out we could eat at the bar. So we ordered some onion rings. I know they're not that good for you; but they are my guilty pleasure. Their onion rings are pretty dang good. At our appointed time we were shown to the dining room, which we found surprisingly small. Our waitress was a perky and friendly lass and her service was great. 99% of the time I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian. On that one percent I'll channel the pescatarian in me. So will my wife. So I ordered a shrimp dish and she ordered fish. Both of our meals were excellent. My side was baby red potatoes. My wife had a twice baked potato. Just a tip to the restaurant, the presentation and meal would have benefited with a green vegetable on the plate, broccoli, please. As I said our waitress was very efficient and pleasant. After our meal she said "I hear it's your anniversary, don't go away". In a few minutes she brought us a rather large strawberry short cake. It was delicious, the perfect end to a fine meal. It was on the house! We look forward to returning for another meal and perhaps a two night stay, as the hotel seems to be 19th century classic. All in all it was a great experience. If you are looking for a special place it would behoove you to check this place out. Kudos
