Postcard Cabins The Thumb, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay! The cabin overlooks a relaxing wooded view, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly what we were looking for in a getaway.
The little extras really made the experience special, like the s’mores bundle waiting for us when we arrived. The attention to detail was appreciated, and the cabin was cozy and comfortable.
Customer service was excellent as well. A staff member stopped by to replenish our coffee supplies and firewood, which was such a thoughtful touch and made our stay even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with a beautiful wooded setting and great hospitality, I would definitely recommend Cabins in the Thumb!"
"You get what you pay for. Our room was priced for a tight budget.
The location of this hotel is prime. It’s 20 minutes away from Frankenmuth, 25 minutes away from Midland, and 25 minutes away from Bay City. That’s premium for someone who likes to explore Michigan.
The hotel has great history, and I’m always fascinated with history. It was originally a motel and then it was enclosed to be a hotel. It has 100 rooms.
The staff was exceptional and friendly, especially Bri! She went out of her way to help us and was great with following up. I do think that it would be more professional if the staff had uniforms. it could even be a simple golf shirt with a hotel logo.
This hotel has great potential, but it does need some serious help. You can tell that this place was happening back in the day when it first opened. There is beautiful, detailed woodwork throughout the whole hotel. This is not cheap wood. It’s high-quality stuff, and is gorgeous. I was most impressed with how clean all of it was. I’m pretty picky about cleanliness. With all the ridges on the wood, that is a lot to keep up with. The staff is doing an excellent job with it. Pictures, light fixtures, and vents all looked nice and clean.
However, the hotel is outdated and in some desperate need of repair. The tub was cracked and leaking, the carpet is old and gross, and wallpaper is peeling or paint is cracking.
The outside where GPS took us looked abandoned. I’d write more, but am out of characters to type."
