 Crooked River Lodge

Crooked River Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The Crooked River Lodge is our favorite place to stay when exploring lower Michigan and parts of the UP. Rooms are spacious and clean; quality linens and daily housekeeping if desired. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We have never taken advantage of the free-to-use kayaks, bicycles, skis, toboggans, etc, but what a great amenity for those who are interested. The area around the lodge is safe and well-lit with convenient parking. Just one criticism: The complimentary breakfast. As recently as 3 years ago, the breakfast featured delicious hot dishes made on the premises. Today, it's on par with many of the budget chains. Would hot oatmeal be too much to ask? Disappointing considering the lodge seems to be aiming toward a luxury experience. Still, we always come back. Coffee and dry cereal, than on to somewhere else for a more substantial offering. Don't miss the Dam Site Inn in Brutus or the Dutch Oven Bakery in Alanson. Lots of excellent dining options if you take the time to do a little research."

"We were greatly impressed with the cleanliness of the room. Newly remolded. Shower was refreshing. The bed was comfortable the pillows lacked a little. But the towels were soft in the room was very clean. The breakfast was enough. Starbucks was in walking distance, which was an absolute plus. Easy to locate easy to find. A great bonus was when we checked in we received $15 in casino cash and a free limo ride to casino and back to hotel. Definitely would return."
