Ok overall for the price & availability
Positives: check-in, clean space, hot tub, view, location, price.
Drawbacks:
1. no “separate sitting area” as advertised in double queen suite unless you count the office chair at the desk in front of the bed (I expected a sofa).
2. Shower’s pressure was very low which made for longer, unenjoyable showers.
3. No onsite breakfast (we knew this in advance, but it’s worth noting particularly on Mondays when most businesses in Petoskey are closed)
