    Pros +

    • Staff was extremely kind! Coffee and snacks offered in the morning.
    • Nothing really jumps out at me. It was "okay."
    • Crummy bath towel Broken toilet tank 2nd floor only stairs - but hey ??!

    Cons -

    • Very dirty, walls covered in filth. Smelled of cigarettes in the room.
    • NO second floor elevator, which made it difficult to get to our room with all of our baggage and sleep ap machines.
    • We had reservations and they told us they didn't see us in the system for a reservation. They said they had no open rooms for us. They ended up bumping other people's reservation to give us a room.

    Not very clean, old, smokey, cramped rooms, the door opened out into the hall instead of into the room. would not recommend it.

    best place to stay in Kalkaska

    only thing is the shower water doesn't come out very hot. but the sink is plenty hot. figure that one out.

    Absolutely nothing. We saw small bugs that appeared to be bed bugs and experienced swelling and itching.

    Everything except the location

    The room was dirty, old and very run down. I would not reccomend this place to anyone!

    Most everything. Peeling wallpaper, dirty room and delapadated building.

    The bath was gross. Time to remodel. I asked for a 2 Queen bed and I got 2 doubles.
