The rooms were under construction and the hallways were full of beds and furniture. I think that we should have been made away of this at the time of booking. Hallways were like an obstacle course.

Convenience of location is good. Staff, very friendly. Rooms very dated… Electric outlets are old and worn down,( loose fitting if need to plug anything in ( luckily I had tape with me and had to adhere my plug to the wall to keep it in outlet) Very noisy! could here guests next door, and staff in hallways.

We would stay again, but.....
We stayed for 3 nights to visit friends. Staff was very friendly, lobby was clean. Our room was clean, bed was very comfortable, but the bathroom needs a deep clean. I didn’t even want to sit in the tub. The baseboard, floor and walls need a good scrubbing. We would stay again, but with a new hotel going up in Oscoda, Lakeside needs to up their cleaning game.

Hi Kyle I just wanted to respond as well as to speaking with your mom to clarify that we do not take lightly to things like this. After you checked out I grabbed my Head of Housekeeper and my Maint. man went right up to the room you stayed in and after stripping every inch of that room we did not find so much as a dead fly let alone a bed bug. This is really concerning to me that there was no evidence of any trace of bed bugs and if they were as bad as you claimed we would have at least found one or an egg something but there was nothing in the room. Lesson learned. Wish you nothing but the best. Take Care

The first room we were given had not been cleaned. Woken up at 7 by a dog in someone’s room barking. Continental breakfast was extremely limited, out of coffee, pancake machine not working amongst other things. Pool closed due to repairs. If you just need a bed to sleep in it’s okay, but don’t expect anything above and beyond that

She is truly an old girl with problems that come with aging. Room smelled musty; room was humid; lighting dark; no closet (but clothes rack) not much counter area in the bathroom. Staff was A Clean and comfortable bed, working appliances, pool and hot tub area looked clean and nice. Nice community room with seating, tv and vending machines. Breakfast area and breakfast supplied. Direct walk to the beach with some chairs supplied and a picnic area and a covered table area with grills. Fire ring.

Attempted theft
Kept trying to charge my card while I was there and 8 hours after I left. I called they said they were trying to refund me money but that was a lie. It was more than obvious

Pretty decent overall.
The location of the hotel is amazing and right next to the beach, where they a few fire pits and picnic tables along with an outside pavilion. They also offer a hot tub and pool which close at 10 p.m. It is close to town which is a plus and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cereal, muffins, toast/bagels with coffee, milk and orange juice. My only gripes are that the room and it's amenities are pretty dated, vending machines do not take cards, I only saw one set of pay washer and dryers for laundry and the A/C- Heat unit very loud. If you sleep with a fan next to your head like I do you probably won't mind, but others would likely get very annoyed. Overall, not a bad place to spend a few nights. For longer stays I would probably recommend looking for another location.

Response from Stephanie on 15 Aug 2023
I am so sorry about that, we hope to get those fixed in the future. We have to tear up the entire concrete flooring in order to repair those so we figured that when that time comes we might as well do a complete renovation to the pool room but the biggest problem is that we will have to close it for several months and that is a big reason people choose to stay here so we do not want to disappoint or have guests angry but definitely on our list of improvements to be completed. Thank You so much for leaving a review and we hope to see you back in the future. Take Care

Great hotel right on the beach.
Our plans fell thru at a near by camp ground and we needed a place to stay for the night. This was about the only place that still had a few rooms left. The front dest girls were great! The room was clean. We were able to enjoy the beach and watched the sun come up! I would definitely stay again.

Perfectly good, clean hotel with every basic amenity you’d expect. Property is really nice. We had a wonderful stay. Really enjoyed the direct beach access and the fire pits. Kayak rental place 2 miles down the road. We kayaked the Au Sable all day and then we roasted marshmallows on the beach with a bottle of wine… pretty great day.
