What our guests are saying
INCREDIBLEWe stayed here as we competed in the Lighthouse 100 ultramarathon - it was the perfect spot! It was along the course and helpful for our crew to be at the hotel. The staff was INCREDIBLE - the morning staff through the overnight served us with such kindness (and great espresso). We enjoyed the hot tub and pool after the race! The rooms are comfortably decorated and clean. As an architect, I enjoyed reading about Earl Young — what a fascinating remodel and preservation of the past while accommodating all the amenities we have now!

Highlight of our tripThis hotel was one of the highlights of our trip! The room was spotless and the mid-century modern decor was lovely. The bed was the most comfortable of the 4 hotels we stayed at on our Northern Michigan road trip. The shower was amazing. The staff were extremely friendly in both the lobby and the rooftop bar and were kind enough to upgrade our reservation to a balcony room. We will definitely return and recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Charlevoix.
