We had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location right on Saginaw Bay is wonderful, making it easy to enjoy the beach and nearby downtown. The room we stayed in had a beautiful view, but the seating was uncomfortable, and there were maintenance issues with the windows. The restaurant was great with delicious food, but we found some aspects of our stay disappointing, like the noisy neighbors and lack of proper chair arrangements in the room.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this resort. While the location is fantastic, close to downtown and various outdoor activities, the service left much to be desired, particularly at breakfast. The pool and amenities were nice and provided a good opportunity for relaxation, but the dining experience could definitely use some improvements. Overall, there's potential here, but it's not without its flaws.

The hotel offers a great spot on the bay with easy beach access and well-sized rooms. The restaurant served large portions, and the staff provided some nice discounts. However, the outdated seating in the room and poor wifi service detracted from the experience. Overall, it's a mixed bag with beautiful views, but there's definitely room for improvement.
