A fun spot in a wonderful cycling paradise

It is a fun facility with a nice northwoodsy ambiance. The pool area is amazing. Even at my advanced age I would love to try their curvy slides but they are not open during the week. Breakfast is ordinary - make your own waffles and mini muffins, yogurt, etc.

The initial check-in process was disappointing. I felt that the manager walked by and didn't bother to help us. She's pointed at the girl who was busily helping a line of people with coffee specialty drinks. Pretty weak in my opinion. Eventually, the young lady who was serving drinks came over and checked us in but she was not extremely friendly either. The next couple of days I dealt with Cathy and she was amazing!

Clean and really reasonably priced. Loved the big tv and content. One problem was the height required to get into the shower may be formidable for elderly.

Very attractive facility and spacious and nicely decored room. However, having previous experience in the hotel industry with housekeeping I'm more inclined to noticing the smaller details of the cleanliness of rooms. I totally understand how it can be demanding and fast-paced work for a meager wage. I was a bit surprised several things passed housekeeping inspections in our room with hair and debris slightly on the floor. Which is an easy pass, but when we pulled the top cover off the comforter I wasn't impressed with seeing a small stain of blood. Im not sure if it was fresh or a past stain that didn't come out of wash. Personally, we found the beds a bit uncomfortable without having enough support and too soft. The rooms is very nice decorated and spacious and generous amount of towels were given. The morning desk clerk was super nice compared to the lady we checked in with in the evening. A big thumbs up for water temperature of the pool. It wasn't ice cold but a comfortable temperature that invites you to stay in longer and the hot tub pool was super relaxing. Game room is ridiculously price, otherwise that would had been entertaining. Still a nice place for a family to stay all in all.

mini water park good, lifeguards but no supervision of hot tub (kids jumping in, little ones) ... property seemed new, well maintained, third floor room had very high ceilings so room felt echo-y, cavernous, beds with metal base noisy, very good shower and spaces to hang clothes, nice deck for fresh air

Our stay wasn’t so pleasant. First off the room wasn’t cleaned very well it’s pretty sad when I have to wipe off tables and the headboards that had visible dust on it. Secondly you get better breakfast at a super 8. Third I have an issue of my 2 year old locking me out on the patio, when I brought it to the attention of the lady working on September 5, 2024 she was very rude and inconsiderate. Questioning why my child was in the room alone. At least I was considerate and smoked outside of the room like the rules were that’s the reason I had him in the room. I could visibly see my child. So to be questioned about my parenting was completely wrong and unprofessional. Then to be no help whatsoever ever and rolling her eyes and giving me attitude the whole time is poor customer service. The only good part about my stay was seeing my child have fun with the amenities that were there. Other than that if I didn’t live 3 hours away I would’ve left after that incident. Needless to say your front desk lady working that day at around 6:00 pm needs to be taught customer service because I myself am unsure if I’ll ever be back and will be telling my other friends that stay up there to stay away.

Disliked: Cleanliness

there was garbage under the bed from previous customers, the carpet was sticky, the wood tabletops were coated with grime, the tub didn’t drain, the screen door of the patio was busted off, the room we were in was alongside a side door, which you could feel the wall shake each time it slammed shut, the tv had a 20-30sec delay when flipping through channels. thankfully we had a busy weekend and didn’t have to be in the room long.
