Kalkaska Vacations from $503

The hotel staff when we arrived were wonderful I can say that. However the rooms do not look like the pictures. They are severely outdated. The bathrooms were gross the tub didn't work and paint chipping off the tub. The shower was extremely small. The dishwasher was gross looks like no one cleaned it or the kitchen floor. The bedding was very scratchy. The indoor pool was a haul away! I see under reviews that it's under new management I get that but some things and some rooms should take priority. The Internet is very very slow. Watching the tv was frustrating so we just turned it off. That was after we called front desk and they told us they were not having an issue?! Ok! Buffet for breakfast was not worth the 22.00 Per person. They need better options being there is absolutely nothing around except dollar general so if you have kids and teens make sure you bring food with you. Also the room walls and ceilings are paper thin. We were in 2nd floor and all we heard were the people walking around all night and 7am in the morning. It was a holiday weekend and they had one person working the coffee bar so that took forever. I would suggest lots of snacks and bring some soft bedding with you. If you golf and drink this is the best place for you. If you're looking for a relaxing evening enjoying the patio and resort amenities- I would suggest somewhere else. Just my opinion.

I was feeling quite hesitant about staying hear reading other reviews about amenities not working well (water); however, we stayed in a basic 1 bedroom room on 3rd floor of the elevator closest to parking. Water in the shower worked great. Parking was a perk. It was quite humid in the room, but the AC worked ok. Elevators in the main hotel (tall tower) were out of order, so I'm wondering if that also related to water pressure issues? The upstairs bar smelled terribly rotten (mold, mildew, sour drains, poor ventilation), so we left immediately. The whole place was just kind of run down and needed better maintenance, though relatively clean. Great location; felt very safe walking around town, so the location and parking mostly validated the high price point. Would come back again.
