Beautiful new hotel with the perfect view of Lake Huron. Note, the queen rooms have the lake view and king rooms do not, or so we were told. Tabitha and the rest of the day and night staff are very nice and quick to help. I was even able to get my mother a shower chair at the front desk which was very helpful. They have four luggage trolleys which is more than some larger hotels we’ve stayed in. We liked how the pillowcases are marked with “soft” and “firm” and the beds were comfortable. We’ve stayed at many hotels and usually the couch beds aren’t very good but this had a better mattress than most. Of course, the hotel is only four months old. The bathroom was spacious enough to accommodate a wheelchair. The sink is high though. The breakfast was good and hot. The pancake maker makes them good sized. The bacon was undercooked for our liking but there were plenty of other options. The hard boiled eggs, already peeled and cold, were a nice surprise. The two elevators were efficient. Only one washer and dryer on the bottom floor and takes quarters only but the front desk was able to make change. $2 to wash and $3 to dry at this time. The area itself is very family friendly. The park directly behind the hotel has an amphitheater that plays summer movie nights on Wednesday and concerts on Thursdays (as of now), a free skateboard park, basketball court, volleyball, and a large playground. The pier is well maintained and has fairly easy access for wheelchairs. The beach is large and great for walks. There’s also a cute, vintage Dairy Queen on the corner a block up that serves walk ups only and was very good. I’d like to come back to Oscoda and stay at this Holiday Inn Express. Keep up the good work!
