My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and equipped with a small fridge, microwave, and a desk, making it perfect for families with children. Although our room faced the parking lot on the second floor, it was wonderfully quiet, except for the occasional growl from the nearby ice machine. The service was top-notch with respectful, helpful, and professional staff who were friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to assist us. The location offered plenty of entertainment options, like tables for socializing and playing cards, and was conveniently close to the town of Gladwin and events like Jeep Creep. That said, the pool area could get a bit noisy with energetic children. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the complimentary continental breakfast, which was a nice change from the typical free offerings.
