Didnt even stay, would love my money back. Was in the "room" for about 2 minutes. The bed is 3 inches from the parking lot, the brown stains on the matress cover corners screamed bed bugs... but i did feed them... because in the 2 minutes we were there, i forgot my crab cakes there. It was a double bummer.

The rooms were very clean, bed was comfortable, pillows were too full/stiff. There was a restaurant across the street with outdoor live music. The free continental breakfast was lacking. A little unsure of safety factor, took all bags in the room. No issues arose.

For the price, the rooms didn't really meet our expectations. Very basic room, with no paper products other than t.p., and no chairs in the room. The staff work hard, and they did replace a room refrigerator that wasn't working when we arrived, which we appreciated. The room deposit was returned after check-out as promised.

Shame

Hotel was non smoking and the room smelled like cigarettes as soon as we walked in. The man at the front desk said “he’ll spray it down” in a pinch my family and I just left the theme park near by after 12 hours we wiped everything with Lysol and went to sleep and left early this morning

Disliked: Cleanliness
The rooms are clean but there were little beetle bugs crawling all over and the shower wouldn’t get hot just warm. They didn’t supply a dead bolt on the doors. When I checked in they said they needed a $100 deposit and they took a photo copy of my drivers license and my credit card which made me uncomfortable.

Disgusting!

Stained comforters, old stained mattresses, room not cleaned at all…microwave had not been cleaned for a very long time…it was disgusting. Room had garbage, dust, dirt especially around beds, toilet had urine all over it, I had to clean myself. Bedding had a chemical odor as if they sprayed for bugs. Shower valve missing to pull for shower. It was difficult to use. They took $100 for incidentals and I better get it refunded. Worst stay ever, my young kids were even appalled. Pictures on your site make it seem way nicer. I was taken for a fool to spend that much on a place like that. Never again. I gave them a signed note with all the issues.

Looked updated and modern Online. There were holes in walls and old hair and someones fingernails clippings left on the floor hair and stains on the bedsheets. We asked for new sheets and the man said he had to place them on the bed he followed me into my room where my family was staying with out warning I opened the door and told them he’s placing new sheets on the bed awkward!! Beds were uncomfortable pillows thick and uncomfortable as well our necks and backs hurt waking up. Same thing basically happend with towels I asked for he said I had to turn in the old ones and he would get them I quickly ran to the room to get there before him and run to the shower to pick up our wet used towels to hand him. Yuck on his part no gloves no cleaning service? Idk. No sand, just weeds where the volley ball court was. List could go on. Paid for what I got. There was a nice bay and berry in walking distant for breakfast was cute and clean inside. Gas stations less then a block away.

Weekend at Presque

Good place to stay when visiting Presque State Park. Can't beat the location and proximity to the park! Walls are a little thin so you can hear alot of noise from the outside but reasonable and expected considering the design and layout of the buildings.

We stayed 3 night/4 days here and for the location of sites to see and surrounding shopping areas/restaurants it was absolutely great for the overall price we payed! It was lacking in housekeeping and only came when we were checking out which wasnt a huge "no" for me but wouldve boosted my score. The man at the front desk and the housekeeper we saw were very friendly and smiling. The pool and outside of the hotel were kept clean. I would definitely be staying here again in the future!
