This use to be my favorite hotel to stay at whenever I had business in this area of MI. It has been over a year since i had business in the area and was so sad to see the deterioration of this lovely hotel. The doors to the 2 rooms I purchase never fully shut unless you pulled or pushed on them an issue that the hotel staff is aware of. The key to one room would not work, after talking to the front desk their answer was jiggle the handle and pull up on the handle once you place the card in. Again, the staff knows this is an issue and all door issues could be a dangerous situation. One of the first rooms we entered smelled of smoke and disinfectant cover up spray with carpet bunched up here and there. The staff was very accommodating and moved that room, only to open the door to another room full of bunched up carpet. But at least it didn’t smell. Those quaint fireplaces that you look forward to after a long day of work for relaxation, well they do not work.
The staff was kind, generous and helpful. They went beyond to make things better and want their customers to be happy. I got the impression that they have tried to get the issues I described fixed and no one is listening to them.
I hope corporate reads this and makes some major updates to this hotel the I regarded as lovely.
