Pros:

Motel is old and outdated and the price paid was close to that of a motel with modern amenities. Breakfast was basically non existent and the room was never cleaned during our three day stay. If you want modern amenities i wouldn't recommend this motel. This would be a last resort type of place.

Bait and switch!!
Pros:

We booked this room months in advance for a family reunion. What was supposed to be 85/night ended up being over 200/night! This place is not worth that rate at all. They refused to refund so we had to stay here because that was too much money to waste. This hotel is dirty, dated, and the people working here aren't friendly at all. It's hard to tell who is who here because nobody wears uniforms, name tags, or anything. Upon checking into the room, the room was dirty. It was so obvious that it hadn't been cleaned(see pics). The room had a bad paint job. The a/c didn't work. The free continental breakfast was just stale cereal, stale bread, and muffins. This is likely intentional because they have a food menu that you can buy, not free. You have to pay for it if you want eggs, bacon, or anything else. We ended up buying breakfast elsewhere. Save your money and go somewhere else. This place isn't it.

Pros:

Building & room smelled musty, air conditioning only kicked on if 72+ which may explain the smell. The breakfast offering was very minimal so plan on needing to buy your own. Okay overall for the weekday price but over priced on weekends. For the $200 up charge they could at least serve a good breakfast.

IF you like garbage, this is it!
Pros:

I try to give the benefit of the doubt. But walking into the door and being up charged from what the original reservation was is insane. From $85 up to $212, even higher with taxes and such. Tjan going to the room and garbage on the floor in the hallway, there the whole time. and in the room itself, garbage on the floor. Bathroom was not cleaned. Wasn't vacuum in who knows long. Now let's check out the morning breakfast, oh joy, stale cereal and old bread, that's what the most expensive hotel in Oscoda should have. But hey you can get buy some cooked eggs for $8 possibly from a microwave. You tell them this is insane and yet they look at you like, what's the problem, here's my list. Completely befuddled by it. As far as decor, the lobby outside looks good, however your room is in something that looks a warehouse trailer. Curb appeal is not an asset. The slamming doors are a joy. I guess slow closing quiet doors are too much to ask for. Remember, after all this is a high end resort that charges more than anyone in the area. Side note; perhaps it was laundry day, maybe that's why you can't tell who is an employee and who is not. So if travel a lot as we do and like being up charged because a local event is in town (15-20 art booths) as if people are coming from all over. A dirty room and hallway with a bonus of inedible food and slamming doors to jolt you out of bed. This is the place for you! Thank you for ripping us off. This place isn't even worth the $85

Pros:

The lady at the desk was amazing! This was our 2nd year staying. She was friendly and so kind to us. There was a night manager and his family folding towels one night and my kids and I were playing with a balloon that was left in the pool and he came and took it from me and said we couldn't play with it because if it popped it would ruin the filter. I guess we looked like the type of trash that would leave garbage in a pool... it was rude and very strange to be scolded. Especially since he took the balloon and set it right back in the pool area where we found it?! But all in all a lovely stay.

Pros:

This place is a place that might have been in years past, but time and bad renovations have taken over. Smelled its age in some areas, the paint is not where it should be in some places and missing in others. Nothing seemed as clean or as nice as the price would suggest.

Pros:

Not much good to say, but manager did switch me to a non-bedbug infested room at midnight. Super-old "resort" property trying to be a normal motel, but not making it.
Pool area looked ok - kids were having fun. But creepy with a horror-movie vibe, crazy maze layout trying to find the free breakfast which totally disappointed, of course.
There were modern updates such as nice new microwave ovens, nice mini-fridge, decent updates to sink & shower faucets, etc. Bedding was fine except for the uninvited guests, towels ok. I'll say they're trying...

.Your Ac/Heater is a Piece of Junk.
Pros:

Will someone please tell management that the ac/heater unit in #45 needs fixing, or better yet,junk the thing. It kept three people up all night. The forth person got some sleep but not enough since he was facing a three hour drive next morning..

Fine for under $80
Pros:

Needs a lot of work, we stayed on 7/4 and the price for room was disgusting for what little they offered. The breakfast they offered was a huge disappointment. Coffee was good and the staff were very friendly. I would stay again. Not for more than 1/4 of the price I paid.

Pros:

It was an OK stay. Price prohibitive for value received, but it was July 4 weekend so that explains some of it. Room supersized, which I really liked. Breakfast offered leaved a lot to be desired.

Disgusting nasty place.
Pros:

This place was nasty and disgusting. First off it looks like something you would see in a horror movie. They say no smoking but when we walked in the room it smells like an ashtray. There was cigarette burns on the toilet. The paint was peeling all over. There was dirt all over the walls, the dresser, and the head boards. There was mold all over. It was way too expensive for something like this. I couldn’t get a refund. Shame on you that’s not how you run a business!

Disappointing
Pros:

I was so excited to support a small business. But we didn’t stay. I booked 2 rooms. When I arrived the manager told me she only saw one room. And that I would have to pay for the second room even though I had already paid. She was also very rude. We got in touch with hotels.com who called about giving us a refund she refused. We decided to go elsewhere.
