This is a really nice hotel. The indoor waterpark was perfect because it was too cold to use their nice little beach. We had an issue with door locks and the clerk we reported to was having a bad day and wasn't happy to help. But front desk staff, Nolan, and manager, Amber, went above and beyond so the small grievance was resolved with kindness.

Pleasantly surprised with the waterpark. The kids had a blast! The slide was fast and the water was warm. Breakfast was mediocre - would have loved to see more protein options and not just all carbs. Was disgusted to find an old mushed bag with what appeared to be brownies left behind the couch. It was apparent the couch is never moved to clean behind it. Overall, happy with the stay minus the disgustingness that was left behind the couch!

Needs some work

We stayed in the executive suite, bottom floor, which is falling apart a bit. Jacuzzi in the room caused water damage to the ceiling.Door to our room was coming off the hinges, the 2 sliding glass doors didnt have working locks so they had sticks in the track and no room service from the restaurant. It was clean and the bed was comfy. Staff was awesome! Free breakfast had huge waffles but they were rubbery.

Stayed here for a family Christmas party for one night. Water park for the kids was wonderful. We requested that all 4 rooms be close together (all separate reservations, too) and that was accommodated by the professional hotel staff. Location directly on Houghton Lake was beautiful, even in the winter. Hotel was clean and nicely decorated for Christmas. Bathroom linens were plush and abundant. The king bed was firm and had high quality linens on it. Breakfast hours and selection could be improved with offering some kind of protein such as eggs and sausages. The carb-laden breakfast was not healthy and the hours of 6 to 9:30 am was too early for us. We had a great time overall and would definitely come back here.
