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.
