Rooms where beautifully done in wood. Expected from reviews that lodging would be underpar, but wonderfully delighted with the rooms and the view. I have no idea what the ground level rooms are like. Initially reserved king room but was upgraded at no additional charge to their 3rd floor suits. Wonderful staff.

The room was affordable, spacious, and clean. I liked that you could use the indoor pool or go to the actual beach. The price was amazing for the location.

Nothing really, yes it could use a few small repairs, but it was an affordable room with amenities that you would pay a lot more for at other places.

We stayed in the family suite. We were a little disappointed this room was not directly on the beach however we were not in the room too much. The room slept five of us comfortably, the beds were comfortable and it was just a very short walk to the beach. The rooms were a little outdated.

Rooms need to be updated. The shower wall had tape on the tiles to hold them together.

My husband and I come here every year for the last 7 years. I love how we can walk right out to the beach! Really love the rooms with the balconies ❤️

Nothing not to like

The waterfront cabin was amazing! We loved having a full kitchen, fire pit, and grill. The covered porch overlooking Lake Huron was also wonderful.

Nothing.

Brand new, very nice cabins! Beach was clean. Kitchen is mostly stocked (4 plates, flatware,

Waterpark is barely functioning and dirty. Waterfront Inn Motel itself and surrounding buildings are unsightly and outdated. Has coffee maker but you'll need to bring your own mugs.
