I enjoyed my time and it's beautiful there.
Pros:

It was very peaceful. I really enjoyed being able to walk through the property, and it was very peaceful.

Cons:

Nothing against the hotel, but meals were difficult. I went to a local place to eat, by myself, and I had to drive to another town because there was no room for even one person. That can be avoided by eating at a time when it's not prime time. It was difficult to find a place to get to the beach.

Wonderful location between Fayette and Marquette with super clean and very comfortable facilities
Pros:

Lovely retreat center 20 minutes away from Fayette, about half an hour from Marquette. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Very expensive hotel for only 38 rooms with lots of locations games, reading or small group conversations. Homemade pasties on site were excellent.

Cons:

To get in using code at front door, make sure to make quick staccato type punches otherwise it won’t open

I'd stay there again.
Pros:

Nicole was very helpful in making me comfortable with room temperature . Other employees helped me with getting oriented to the place and assisted me in leaving. The price was right.

Cons:

I was there alone. The code to enter building and room needed 2 free hands to operate.

Very good
Pros:

It was very clean and a unique place to stay. The furnishings were old, and the vibe was like staying in a convent or boarding school. Great value.

Cons:

Could have been updated- shower tile was ancient. Decor was not very appealing.

Perfect honeymoon spot for nature lovers
Pros:

It was very quiet, the grounds gardens were wonderful, with a chance of seeing wildlife. We saw deer, skunks and woodpeckers! We were on our honeymoon and the staff we saw all congratulated us!

Cons:

The food options weren't great, mainly because we didn't have access to a full kitchen. We spent most of our time away from the hotel and ended up having to eat out more than I would have liked to.
There also wasn't a map of their trail systems, which would have been very helpful for making sure we weren't wandering onto someone else's property.

Friendly small town retreat.
Pros:

The people were very friendly. It was close to Fayette State Park, where our family was staying. It is an old retreat that has been turned into a public retreat. We enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

Nothing. It was exactly as we expected!
