It was one of the least expensive properties I found but it comes with a caviat. The second floor has no elevator and the stairs are steep and missing a handrail. They were also very dirty. The room was very clean, the bed was fine but the shower was a little tight for anyone of size. They had coffee packets but no coffee maker and the breakfast room was sad. The coffee maker ran out after a third of a cup and no one was around to speak to or service it. The breakfast assortment consisted of 5 apples, a FEW breakfast bars that I wouldn't eat after opening one. There was dry cereal and that was it. Oh, there was a juice dispenser that works.

Our weekend stay was satisfactory for what it was! It's definitely a budget stay but there was nothing glaringly wrong. The musty smell on the second floor and in our room would be the only thing worth commenting. Good for what you pay!

The property is in the midst of a much needed renovation so some features look better than others. But the bed was comfortable and everyone who works there is SO kind it made up for the deficient features.

They were remodeling. Didn't impact our stay at all. It will look great when they are done. Slight smell in the room but not overwhelming or disgusting.

Overall, the room was clean and everything was fine. However, the "breakfast" on the news was even better than yesterday was less than adequate, unless you want cereal. They kept running out of things and it was just overall a week breakfast.

Nasty and Dangerous

It was horrible. I was assaulted during my stay while trying to sleep at night two different times. I'm pretty sure you don't want to stay there unless you want to be murdered. In fact, skip Kalkaska. My stay was technically at the Grenada tied to the Rodeway Inn, it's all the same staff.

Not worth it

Bathroom light was out, vomit was on the wall, toilet was dirty. Sheets were too small and wouldn’t stay on the bed. Only 1 flat pillow was provided per person and only 2 towels were provided for 3 people. Horrible stay.

Disliked: Amenities
Property was generally average to below average. The room was much smaller than expected. Very little space around the bed (which was not the most comfortable). My wife said there was some dirt on the floor, but generally clean otherwise. The bathroom was as small as a closet. Difficult to get out of the way of the door to close it. It had practically no space between the toilet and the wall in front. The shower curtain was not long enough to prevent water getting on the floor outside the shower stall. It had no shelves to hold soap or shampoo. I don't know if all the rooms were like this, but if so, I would not recommend this hotel. Staff (especially the young man) was often missing from the front desk with no indication why.

Liked: Cleanliness
Things I liked: Pleasant folks at desk, comfortable bed. nice outdoor area. Things to work on: I was surprised that on the first full day of our stay, no one came to tidy the room. When we left on Sunday morning, I saw one of those signs on the table saying they conserve on towels, and if you want extra service, go to the desk. Well, we only started with a thin bath towel, hand towel, and washcloth for each of us. If you wanted a towel to wash your hair, I guess the hand towel was supposed to suffice? Even if I had seen the sign, I would have been a bit put out. There is a staircase with high steps that were a bit difficult (not impossible) for me to negotiate. Once I got to my room, I pretty much wanted to hunker down I'm also unclear if that sign meant you had to ask for cleaning. I understand I was at a budget hotel. I started out camping in TC, then joined my husband when he drove up because he didn't want to camp. Given the casual nature of the weekend overall, I thought it would be fine. Even at budget prices, it still costs three figures a night to stay there. It is not an insignificant sum of money for many people. A LITTLE pampering would have been nice (room-cleaning!) There is breakfast with a waffle maker and an omelet maker available. It was nice to have that. The building is going through a remodel; it has that under-construction feeling. I could live with that. I might like to return in a year just to see if things have improved.
