Very nice stay. Here for a lovely wedding. The event space was really set up nicely. The warmth of…read morethe fireplace, decor and the windows all helped make the event really special. The food was quite good especially for a wedding. They served stuffed chicken, brisket and mashed potatoes and the desserts were delicious! While at the hotel, we walked over to Freighters for a bit to have a cocktail. We sat by the fireplace and had a good view of the expansive restaurant space. It would be a great place to dine to watch the ships and water. The food looked good. I hope we are able to come back to try some of their fare. The room was more than adequate. Clean, the beds were comfy. The room could use some upgrades with USB and C ports and outlets by the desk. Other than that, it was quite pleasant. We were able to see the courtyard, the bridge and the icy water. We enjoyed the winter views. During our stay, each person who worked there were all helpful, friendly and welcoming. That made the experience even better.

But unfortunately I do have a lot of cons so bear with me. When we arrived the bed looked as though it had been slept in. There were stains on the carpet, hand smudges on the glass , stains on the sofa, mold in the shower, cracks in the ceiling, and warped wallpaper in multiple spaces. I say this as someone who can often over look things however, when I pulled out the sofa bed to sleep there was just a mattress protector and a large yellow stain. I check the closet to find one pillow with no cover on it. We went down stairs and the manager was shocked. She provided us with ample supplies like linens, and a blanket. I have to say for the price payed the condition we're pretty bad. I'm assuming you may for the location as it's 6 minutes from down town but this rooms need a upgrade. And a deep carpet and upholstery cleaning.

One bad apple can ruin things just like that. Hit down to breakfast at 930 and 2 out of 4 hot items were empty. I asked the young lady if she was making more. No, not really was her response. I politely said it's 9:30 and you are open to 10. If " I really need to I will". I responded I guess my husband and I don't need to eat. As she huffed. So I grabbed small portion of eggs and cooked a bagel as my husband had nothing. Apparently she decided to cook more, but not until we were getting up! Shame, Shame!!

Under the guise of I will be closer to the dog walk area, I was placed on the first floor next to the back door. Not an issue, until I walked into the room. No real carpet, just and inside/outside floor covering. No padding, just glued directly to the concrete. The furniture was out of a garage sale, beat up and unkept. Sheet on the bed were old and worn. So old the elastic on the fitted sheet no longer gripped the matress. I never leave a bad review. I there is nothing nice to say i leave it alone. But the manager on duty continually lied on the idea I was put into a dog room. Said there was no such thing. I asked why no carpet, she replied that there must of been a maintenence issue that was unresolved. I told her I checked the room next to me during cleaning and it was the same. A dog room. Just outside my room there was carpet with padding, but not in mine. I paid for a king bed, was given a queen. I guess that is what dog rooms get. Now there was an area for my pup to do her business, but no grass, all lava rock. I invited the manager to walk on it barefooted, because my pup was. It is jagged and unsafe for pets. While this facility is pet friendly, be prepared to stay in a dog room. Not the room you reserved online. felt like i was punished for bringing my pup, and paid for that punishment.

Ah yes, the Flamingo Motel, where do I start? It was probably one of the two least desirable…read moreplaces I stayed at on my Michigan trip but I wouldn't know that till after I made my circuit. I do love the little 1950's and 60's motels and have encountered a wealth of those that have been reconditioned and renovated yet charge a nightly rate less than the Flamingo. Starting with the good, the clerk was very nice. She only takes cash, not set up for credit cards she said. I can find no receipt for the place so I assume she didn't give me one and I just didn't notice. Fortunately I had enough cash on me. Due to road construction in the area it had been an ordeal to find this place in the dark and I didn't want to go looking for another. My first impression of the room was that it was darling and quaint with a pretty bedspread. My second impression was that there was a very strong, very old, unpleasant smoke smell permeated into every pore of the room, the kind that gets into your hair, clothes and belongings the minute they touch anything. Then, over the course of the evening, night and morning more problems became evident. There was a large stain on the carpet near the frig that I stepped on with bare feet later and found it to be saturated wet and cold. I don't know if there was a leak from the recent heavy rains or from the fridge. I laid a paper over it just to remind me not to step on it again. When I went looking for a plug to recharge my phone there was a definite shortage of them and I discovered the lamp cord plugs looked like they were from the 1930's. See my pix if you think I'm exaggerating. I unplugged one lamp after seeing the cord was nearly split in two and looked like a shock hazard, as well as a fire hazard. That freed up a plug for my phone, though not conveniently close to the bed so I could use it while charging. The bathroom trash was sitting under the sink, making me wonder if there was a leak being captured. The tub had serious stains but I don't know if it was unclean it maybe just had paint spills in it. I didn't use it. The sink and toilet worked good and the room had a fridge, which I used. The security chain on the door was busted and unusable. The toilet seat was full of splinters, not where they easily would get on your toosh, but dangerously close. If every older motel was like this I would just figure that's the way older motels are. But all save one of the other older motels I stayed at were way nicer than this. And many were only $32-35/night. So do I recommend this place? Sadly, not particularly.
