Quick trip with young kids

Staff was very friendly and the rooms were very comfortable. Rooms were newly renovated and clean. The pool was a bit run down but the kids had a blast at the water park and the arcade.

Average

We stayed here several years ago and the new updates definitely helped the overall appearance. The front desk staff was welcoming and friendly. The new bathroom layout is terrible. The door swings inward blocking the path to the toilet. The door should swing out into the room. The AC unit did not keep running even though temp was lowered. We couldn’t get the fan to just stay on to circulate the air so it became stuffy.

This property was a wonderful discovery in a hectic vacation town. When weather was bad, the indoor/outdoor pool was terrific. The hot tub was very relaxing at night. Nice complementary breakfast. We loved the Northwoods atmosphere and comfortable room.

Just a quick overnight stay while visiting family in the area. It felt like we were in a big log cabin - loved that! Rooms were clean and very large! Great if you had kids (which we did not). Breakfast was a lot of donuts, muffins and fresh make-your-own waffles - nothing too healthy. Front desk staff is hard to find in the morning due to breakfast. Just had to leave my key on the counter as I waited 20 minutes and no one came. But overall a great place to stay and would be even better for those with kids.

Room floor dirty

Our room floor was not clean. Sand or dirt was on the floor but we didn’t notice it until we took our shoes and socks off the night of our stay. We asked for a late check out the morning we were leaving. The receptionist informed us that they were not granting late check out “that day”. We have traveled a lot and have never been denied a late check out. Unacceptable.
