Hair is hard to rid but when in the shower, it's gross. a vacuum works better when everything is dry. Many construction workers have to be out of town and on the job by 7. This particular Holiday Inn has complimentary breakfast at 6:30 but what stands out is they put a gate across the dining area to ensure people who have to leave early can't grab a piece of fruit and head off to work. I guess staff doesn't value the workers who chose to stay. Every other Holiday Inn I've stayed, their staff not only allowed guests to grab something quick but offered assistance. Pretty sad. So if you have to be at work early, know you aren't getting anything in your belly.

This Hotel has made it on my list to stay for my next trip to Cadillac Lake…read more Very good and friendly service, I had my room on the 4th floor and it seemed to be newly renovated. If you feel you have to work out after a long day or early morning , there is plenty of equipment to exercise available 24 hours. I had a great sleep there in a very quiet room...loved it The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of the usual, but me not a big breakfast eater, I focused more on the different kind of coffees available. Downtown is 2 1/2 minutes with the car with plenty of food places and bars.

Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing due to serious billing and management issues…read more My stay was prepaid through my employer's discount program, yet upon checkout on 3/29, I was charged a second time at the front desk. The staff told me they could not fix the error and that a manager would be available later that evening. I was promised a follow-up call the next morning, which never happened. When I contacted the front desk again, I was told the manager was unavailable and would not return until two days later. For a hotel, it is extremely unprofessional to not have management available to promptly correct a clear billing error. I am still waiting for the duplicate charge to be resolved. I would not recommend staying here unless you are prepared to closely monitor your bill and spend time following up on mistakes.

My little kitsch-loving, retro-embracing heart was full as soon as I stepped into "The Cadillac"…read morecabin at Mackinaw Timbers. It was furnished with so many cool, thrifted knickknacks, paint-by-number paintings, out-of-print books, old games and -- the best part -- a VCR with VHS tapes! Yes, people. You, too, can curl up on the vintage leather couch and watch a VHS of 1997's hit war romance Life is Beautiful (or Rocky III or 39 Steps, or one of the other two dozen tapes available in the cabin). Everywhere we looked as we explored the cabin, there was something new to see and be delighted by. The Cadillac is the largest cabin at this vacation cabin property. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fully furnished kitchen with a gas range, farmhouse sink, new "vintage" refrigerator and a pour-over coffee maker with local coffee. It also has a large dining table, vintage leather couch and recliner to curl up in while watching that VHS movie of your choice. Or if you're not into old-school media, there's also Roku on the smart TV. Children will be delighted by the special kids nook that has been created just for them, which includes classic books and games, and a vintage record player with kids records. It turns out that all of the cabins, not just The Cadillac, are decorated with their own unique vintage furniture and knickknacks. There are 10 cabins on the property. Outside, guests are invited to enjoy a community fire pit and lawn games. There's also a covered shed with firewood that you can purchase for a few dollars. (You pay on the honor system by slipping some cash into a slot.) The cabins are located less than four miles away from downtown Cadillac. There is no one on site at the property, so you work with the owner via email to set up your stay. They will give you the combination to get into your cabin, and if you have any problems, they're only a phone call/text away. It was a very low-key, relaxing stay. I 100% recommend staying at Mackinaw Timbers if you want a unique lodging experience in the Cadillac area.

The fanciest thing is the fridge. On the first floor, the view out the window is a phenomenal view of a fence 10 feet away or into the parking lot, from the main room, or the bathroom. Paint runs, 6 plug boxes screwed to a single outlet, one plug spot even looks burnt, with a surge protector plugged into that, running the fridge microwave and TV. But, if all you care about is cleanliness you might be alright.... 1 star since it is clean.

I was not pleased, since I was very clear about my reservation. The guy would not work with me to make his mistake right. Then I went into my room. When I went in there, the room was not cleaned. There was salt all over the window sills. I am very unimpressed about this. No professional customer service, and very lousy house keeping.

I would highly recommend this hotel…read more Last night there was a snowstorm in the area and whiteout conditions meant that it was not safe to drive at all. I stopped here for a room. Nate, the employee who greeted me, was so kind. They did not have any rooms available and he was extremely apologetic. I went to use their restroom and I came back and he had called the other hotels in the area and found one right down the street that had a room! I was so incredibly grateful since it was not at all safe to drive further. A few moments later as I was about to leave. He asked me to wait a moment and had received a text from the owner who had given me permission to use a room that apparently is normally not available on the reservation system. The room was clean, quiet, and I got a really sound night's sleep. I am so grateful to Nate for helping me. Had he not helped me find a room, whether it was at his hotel or the hotel down the street that I was not aware even existed, I would have had to sleep in my car. Thank you to Nate and Econolodge for your kindness.

As you can see by the first four pictures you have a huge sitting area not only inside but also outside on your own deck. The view of the lake is gorgeous, there is a massive kitchen space with a dining room table and two bathrooms along with a washer and dryer for when you go quad riding or go in the water on the beautiful lake. On top of everything you have an: indoor pool that is fully heated 10 person hot tub steam room updated gym that includes all different cable systems and multiple cardio machines Not only is the location perfect to be on a lake but if you are looking to go Quad riding, jet skiing, gambling, or just here for the sites it is in the middle of literally everything.

Some of the rooms have balconies/porches, some open right to the outside like a motel, and some are just regular hotel rooms, plus theres a section where they allow dogs, so theres a lot of options.

At breakfast they had coffee, juice, frozen waffles, toast, bagels, hardboiled eggs, muffins etc. There were biscuits and Gravy too There's a coffee shop and party store (with an ice cream counter!)

From the outside you can convince yourself its charming but then you open the door and it's like walking into an episode of the Twilight Zone. It's like a scene from an old horror movie, I kept waiting for Norman Bates to show up. We had a 2 bedroom cottage with a living area, it had one small AC unit to cool the entire thing, needless to say it did not cool the room. There were an unusual amount of mirrors, kind of freaked me out, not sure what's behind those mirrors. The room was pretty clean, as clean as you can get 30 year old carpet. The sheets appeared clean but there were spider webs in all the corners and the water smelled like a combination or iron and sewer. We did not sleep well. It could be a great place if someone fixed it up, great location.

You definitely get what you pay for here. If you can afford better, go for it. While there is a…read morecertain charm to a rather small room near the lake, it reminds me very much of the days we lived in the trailer park on the other side of town. Lots of small kids running around and screaming, smokers pacing in front of every door so you can't walk outside and get fresh air, incredibly tacky and cheap furnishings (the lamp shades started melting teen minutes after turning the lamps on. Yikes!), and drug dealers in every other room. Really does remind me of my childhood. It's really only one step better than sleeping in our car, which we almost picked over this. We're only staying here because it's supposed to rain this week and the car would be too chilly for us.
