"The hotel was just beautiful inside and out, but I do not like the location where it was at in the middle of a neighborhood in front of a park with a skate ramp. People hanging out at the skate ramp people coming and going in and out of the park, I didn’t care for that. No I would not stay there again. I would go back to Tawas Bay resort ."
