Baymont by Wyndham Gaylord
Room was good but the window wouldn’t close and it was super cold out. We got it shut the best we could and went swimming. Pool was amazing. The temperature was perfect. Not too cold.

Clean, quiet affordable/reasonable. Never a problem checking in or out. Other family members that travel this way prefer to stay here too. My niece says, “this is my favorite place to stay” when they travel to lower Michigan.
