Top Opal Lake Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Gaylord

8/10 Good

"Breakfast wasn’t much. Waffle maker had a burn on waffle, so we couldn’t use it, sausage was gone, only 2 eggs and they had fried hard. No one checked while we were in the dining area. Room was a king, nice and large. Parking was good."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Gaylord

8/10 Good

"Everything was exceptional! The breakfast was mediocre. But, really, that was the only thing that wasn’t great. Everything else was wonderful!"

Tru By Hilton Gaylord, MI

8/10 Good

"Stayed a very short time, one night. Our room was very clean, didn’t need to worry about using a room that thousands have prior to our stay. Breakfast was very delicious, pancakes are always a fan favorite. Had 4 different cereal options, cheese omelette, sausage patties, and plain yogurt with granola pieces + different jam options."

Alpen Bluffs Outdoor Resort

"We stayed in the cabins over the weekend the temperature got to 30’s at night heater was running but was very loud for the first night didn’t get any sleep at all. Otherwise nice clean facility might be awesomely beautiful for summer camping."

"Desk staff was incredibly friendly and personable. The only thing I noticed was the bathroom was very small and the hot and cold faucets were reversed, making it a challenge to get the water temperature one expects."

Hampton Inn Gaylord

8/10 Good

"Good location. Room was large and clean. I liked that the windows shades blocked out park lot lights. Bed and pillows were Not comfortable! Bed was hard and lumpy pillows were hard and flat. Nice pool and lobby."
