"Gross dumpy dirty old hotel and horrible (really HORRIBLE) hotel staff, incredibly rude and not accommodating for out of town wedding guests who needed to check in early to change clothes and prepare for the wedding. They suggested we change in restrooms! Many rooms were available to check in at 1:00, but the receptionist insisted we pay $20 extra to check in early. Total rip off! What a crummy way for the wedding party to be treated.
The online rate for this hotel was also $100 cheaper per night than the not so “special rate” offered for the block of rooms held for the wedding attendees. Who would pay $250 night for this dump of a hotel!?! As a reminder, this is East Tawas, not Traverse City!
This hotel owner must be crazy and thinks pretty highly of this property. But they’re punching well above their weight class. This is a podunk hole in the wall dump that isn’t nearly as nice as a two star holiday inn. They just happen to be on a beach. But don’t kid yourself, this is not a beach “resort”, this is more like a hotel 8 on a beach. Lipstick on a pig doesn’t make the pig any less of a pig.
On a positive note, the bar staff was great and they were clearly trying so hard to make up for the rest of the horrible experience! The bar staff should be running the entire hotel. At least they understand what it means to be in the SERVICE industry.
Absolutely WILL NOT stay here again and would give this place negative 10 stars if possible. An old DUMP with miserable staff."
Golfer's Getaway! Located within one mile of Dream and Nightmare Golf Courses
10/10 Excellent
"This rental was impressive and outlived our expectations. We had twelve people and fit them all comfortably in this space. The host was very communicative and responded to questions within ten minutes. The ice machine was top notch! The dream and nightmare are BYOB and the thought of having an ice machine was very impressive. Beautiful location, close enough to town for groceries but far enough away where the beauty of nature is at your door. We will be back."
Heated indoor pool awaits! RIDE REST RELAX with family and friends
10/10 Excellent
"The house offered a lot of amenities including black out curtains in every bedroom. The indoor pool was a very nice feature. There are 3 bathrooms which is nice for when you bring as many people as we did to one house. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only issue i had was the front door key pad gave me some fit trying to enter the code to get in but that may have been operator error, never did figure out how to Proficiently use it, I just got lucky after a handful of attempts. Will definitely use this house again for any future st. Helens needs"
