Stayed for Wed - Sun 10/25 No towels after first day. Had to get more. There were 2 of us in the room. No trash picked up in the room the whole time Beds were never changed or made up. Makes me wonder if the sheets were even clean when we got there. Kind of bummed me out.

We have stayed here many times on trips headed "Up North". We are very easy to please when it comes to lodging, and we have never had complaints. Is it a luxury hotel? No. Is it a clean and comfortable place to stay that is conveniently located next to the interstate? Yes. It was a quiet stay this time with no issues. Pool has been renovated and is open 24 hours. Small play area for kids. Beautiful large outdoor area for dogs and a small nature trail out back. Most of all, you feel safe here. I know I personally always have.

I stayed at The Houghton Lake Super 8 for a week. I had no complaints at all. The rooms were very clean, fairly quiet at night and the staff was absolutely awesome. I highly recommend this hotel if your in this area. GREAT job Mandy and staff!

Nice clean travelers motel right at the exit of 127 highway. Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean, had the standard continental breakfast for guests from 6-9 am. Decent indoor pool as well. I'll be back for sure.

Overall this Super 8 is a good place to stay. Got this trip though, there were problems. First, the hot water in the bathroom was nearly non-existent. It maintained a slightly warmer than lukewarm for the duration of my stay. I put up with it because I wasn’t in the mood to change rooms. I did leave the property four days early. The second problem involved housekeeping. I saw the lady in the hall pushing her cart cleaning and maintaining rooms. For sone reason room 111 was ignored for the entirety of my abbreviated stay. No beds made and sheets changed. No towel replacement, etc. I didn’t see any notice that say We Only Change Linens When You Check Out And We Don’t Replace Towels Either. It is a good location and I’ve already booked a three day stay in September, but I do hope service improves.

$150 a night and their breakfast offers no protein. You need to invest money back into your hotel. Look into Smithian Theory.

Just was there this past weekend. Upon arrival, not notified beforehand, pool is closed. They advertise a gift shop on the website, nope...gift shop closed. We had a room with jacuzzi, it stopped working after 10 minutes, would not reset. We called front desk, the jerk at the front desk did move us grudgingly, and again that jacuzzi stopped working. I know there are timers on jacuzzies, however, the button did not work on either one. Bathroom was filthy. Floor was filthy. Do not stay here, better off sleeping in your car.

Convenient location for a reasonable price. When I had booked my room I had selected handicap accessible by mistake, and when they called me they said they didn't have a handicap accessible room available so they upgraded us to a Jacuzzi room! They compensated me even though it was my mistake, because I'm not handicapped and I didn't mean to select it (just technologically challenged). That was kind of them! The jacuzzi tub was nice and big. In the night, I couldn't find my USB port to charge my phone in my bag, but I remembered seeing a little display stand with different charging cords, ports and phone accessories and I was able to get one for $8, which is not bad. I thought it was so cool that the hotel lobby had phone accessories. I don't think any of the other hotels I've been to have had those for sale in their lobbies. If I go back to Houghton Lake next year I will probably stay there again.

This property has been recently remodeled and restaffed and managed. Any review you read which is more than say a couple of months old, is inaccurate. My stay was September 20th, 2024. I'm a fairly hard reviewer of properties and didn't find anything I didn't like here. Rooms were clean and well lite. The pool was clean and in operation. The parking lot was clean and easy to navigate. The staff was friendly and responsive. The breakfast exceeded my expectation at the price point. The kids play area was clean and taken care of. The beds slept well. The bathroom was properly stocked. The shower was hot and good water pressure. I honestly don't know what anyone else could ask from a Super 8.

Would 100% stay here again! The rooms were perfect for sleeping. We had a microwave and a mini fridge in our room. We did ask for an extra pillow and blanket, travel with teenagers! The shower was wonderful. My only takeaway from that is we had 4 people to the room and only 2 towels. The breakfast was good but lacked a good source of protein. The driveway was a little confusing, but we made it! The pool area was beautiful, but we didn't have time to use it. There is also a play set for the little kids that is safely away from the parking area.
