The checkin was easy and the staff so friendly even suggested local places to eat! Our room was spotless though a little dated but the bed was comfy! Now my favorite part the 2 second walk to the sand beach on Lake Huron with fire pits and a firework show!!

Great location to Arnold Ferry. Stayed Saturday night and fireworks we lit from Arnold ferry dock so we had a great view from our balcony. Beds hard, pillows soft, room was clean except for the floor. It was really dirty. Felt like there was a thin layer of black dirt on it. Our feet looked like we were running thru a field. Overall it was nice. I would stay again. Didn't use the pool or other amenities.

Fantastic Fourth of July stay! Trish, Tamara, and Samantha were so warm, welcoming, and helpful. They made us feel right at home. The room was beautifully updated, spotless, and had an incredible balcony view. Watching the fireworks from our balcony was unforgettable and easily the highlight of our trip. Great location, excellent amenities, and the beach fire pits were the perfect way to relax in the evening. We'd absolutely stay here again!

Dirty floors, stains on bedding, only met one pleasant staff personal. View excellent however we believe the room was tongue and groove walls covered up mildew walls, very musty odor .

We had rooms on the first floor and were kept awake by the people in the room above us. It sounded like they were jumping on the bed and then on the uncarpeted floor. We stayed two nights and happened both nights. The rooms were adequate, however they were not ready for us at the 4 PM check in. We had to wait another 45 minutes. Air Con worked but the rooms were incredibly cool and damp. The towels never dried from the day before. Everything felt cool and clam-y. The facility was walking distance from th ferry and restaurants which we appreciated. Staff were friendly.

Outlets and fridge did not work. Beds were horribly uncomfortable. The screens were torn. Very nice beach though.

We stayed in a renovated lake side room for one night. It was a beautiful view of Lake Huron. The exterior of the hotel was in need of paint and repairs in spots. It was loud and there were dogs barking in the room next door (not the hotels fault but still a bit annoying). We did not go to the pool or waterpark, however the waterpark appeared to be under construction. The ice machine on our floor did not work and there was no elevator. It is what it is - okay for a night but wouldn’t stay longer than that.

4/10 Fair

Decent view but the hotel is kind of outdated and gross. In our room it looks like somebody just nailed some brand new pine over all the old stuff and left the old furnishing. There was no coffee cups so I had to use the plastic cups for water, our mattress was stained, and the AC sounded like a train running, not to mention that though pool area was closed off and nobody told us. The beds were pretty hard, not a huge point but I know I definitely need something a bit softer, and our room was filled with bugs.... Definitely was not worth the $375 that was charged for July 4th. Front desk staff was really nice.
