Dining in the lounge is phenomenal!! The food is world class and the atmosphere is delightful. Well worth a trip for dinner and cocktails alone. As to rooms, our room (32) shared a wall with the front office so we awoke to classic rock radio blaring through in the early am. The room had undergone a cute retro renovation that could its origi that the

Nice clean property in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms kinda small, small bathrooms (and we’re not really large people), beds not really queen sized, and strange that there’s no tv in the room.

We enjoyed staying here as a one-night deal as part of our Michigan roadtrip! Absolutely beautiful property and very nice room. I honestly loved not having a TV. They had so many other things to do with either your people or socialize with others staying there. I wish we stayed longer to utilize their amenities more.

There was no food at this location during our stay - would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Had to go 10 minutes into town for every meal, including breakfast. Also, very low pressure water made showers and toilet flushing interesting. Nice mid-century vibe.

Staff was cheerful accessible fun. The ambiance was great, comfortable too. The Birch room bed and linens were great however could use a ceiling fan or the AC units need to be able to point the vent downwards toward the bed. Loved the outdoor patio. Can’t wait to venture back next year.

I like the closeness to Harbor Springs. The Bar area was cozy and the bartenders were friendly. I enjoy their conversations. The amenities were good. I’d like to have a tv in my room. I wish that breakfast options were available.

Nice hotel
The hotel was very nice. We pretty much had it to our self since it ’s off season. Pool won’t be ready until summer. Cafe not available after certain hour or on Monday. I wish there was a continental breakfast included in your stay for the price. The bed was very comfortable. Awesome view of the lake.

OTIS is incredible! From check-in to check-out, our stay was top notch. The location of OTIS is perfect! The rooms are beautiful, the beds/bedding, most comfortable. The redo of this whole space is top notch! My favorite was the bar area. I named it the gathering place because you truly do walk in and feel invited, warm and welcome. Also, excellent coffee! Thank you OTIS for the best experience we have ever had! We will return!

The OTIS is an awesome addition to the Harbor Springs area! Not only is it beautiful and well-decorated, but it’s comfortable, the staff are so kind and attentive, and the little details are thoughtful. The rooms are cute, the beds are comfy and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay! We were a little caught off-guard with our room not having a TV or mini fridge, but we made the best of it. And the bar is literally world-class! Just overall a 10/10 experience.
