My check in process was one of the worst hotel check in experiences mainly due to the only customer ahead of me who delayed the check-in to over 40mins due to their problems, I wish management called in another staff to help her and move others checking in or tell us to come back as we missed our birthday dinner reservation, it wasn't a late check in either, only 1.5hrs after check in time.
The rounded/bent shower rod was also installed backwards in our bathroom and the shower curtain sticks to you while you shower which was an awkward situation haha

Great stay Labour Day long weekend
The location is great, just steps to the beach. AC is loud and can’t sleep with it on. Beds were done nicely but the room was dusty. Sealing in the bathroom wet from the upper unit. Overall stay was positive due to the hotel being walking distance to everything. Thank you

There was a water back-up in the room that we stayed in. Good thing we only had to stay there for one night.

Oakwood Resort
The resort was nice. Check-in was quick. We stayed in longhouse, which has individual access to your door/room with front patio and back patio. Back patio has a picnic table. Front has a couple of patio chairs. There is s large bar fridge and walka-in closet area as well as dresser drawers. There is an indoor pool which was nice. Also, private access to beach about 2 block walk from the gates, accessible only by hotel card. Walk to main part of Grand Bend beach was about 15 minutes. We would definately come back.

Booked a 2 night stay. First room that was assigned to us appeared to have been occupied and still had beds and sheets undone, as well as have toothbrushes and toiletries, etc in the bathroom. Not cool. Called the front desk and they had us move all of our stuff to a different "upgraded" room in a different building altogether. 2nd room was somewhat better, but had a very dusty and dirty floor that has not been cleaned or vaccumed in a very long time. I did not see much of an upgrade.
For the price we paid, we could have had a much nicer place to stay. Although it's a nice family friendly resort, I would not bring my family back here...much better options out there.

The resort was great. Enjoyed the semi private beach. Golf was decent for 9 holes. Had dinner at Dave's Pub which was on site. Had live music. My only complaint would be the cleanliness of the room in the Longhouse. Carpet were terrible.

This is a nice resort for families but it was not entirely accessible for my guests with mobility issues. The private beach is accessible only by walking through a gate and 2 blocks of an adjacent private neighborhood so we were not able to use it since my guests could not walk that far. The host originally placed us in a 3rd floor room that had no elevator access but they did find another room with walking access. The hallways are not air conditioned so walking the long hallways in the summer is uncomfortable. The bathrooms could use updating and there are no microwave in the room. The pub had a nice lunch but does not have a clear handicap access as it is right next to the pro shop so there are golf carts lined up on either side on the driveway leading to the pub. There is an excellent full size indoor pool and the setting around a 9 hole hole course is beautiful. We made our stay work but I would be very clear about what kind of room and accessibility is needed as this historic location has limitations.

It was quiet and relaxing and clean. We loved that we had use of the beach which was way quieter than the public beach. The bed was extremely comfortable and the water pressure for the shower was great. We had dinner at the pub and it was great food and a nice atmosphere.
