Pros
Private beach access on Lake Huron shoreline
Conference space and 24-hour business center available
Walking distance to multiple dining options including Murdick's Fudge and Nonna Lisa's Italian Ristorante
On-site arcade room for family entertainment
Cons
18.5 miles distance from Pellston Regional Airport
Some rooms face the courtyard rather than the lake
“In my opinion, this property offers a desirable beachfront location on Lake Huron, complemented by private beach access, perfect for vacationing families; its proximity to Mackinac Island ferry terminals and local attractions adds to the appeal. I noted the availability of diverse room options, including Jacuzzi and kitchenette suites. Despite mixed feedback on the rooms themselves, its waterfront position remains a significant advantage.”
