"The staff was pleasant and helpful, but accommodations definitely were beat up, outdated and in need of attention. I liked the fact that I could walk my dog each day around the pond...right up until another resident let their bigger dog loose and it charged me and my dog again and again - trying to hump her - all the way back to the safety of our room. I am 79 years old and was quite exhausted and upset about no one (not even the dog owner) coming to my aid. That dog kept charging us from different directions each time I swatted him away. It was a terribly frightening experience for both myself and my dog. I decided to only walk my dog at the nearby park afterwards.
I stayed at this motel because it allowed pets, and I broght documentation that my dog was an ESA - Emotional Support Animal - but I was still charged $10 per day ($140 + tax) in addition to the room charges for my 2-week stay there. This was not called for, because I always cleaned up after my dog and she brought no bad habits to this motel - she's a clean, well behaved pet.
After these experiences, all I can say is that I would never stay at Tri-Terrace Motel again."
"Good beds! 1st floor ceilings need a sound blocker from 2nd floor rooms. Room 119 hallway door needs to be realigned. There is at least a 1 inch big gap between the lock jam and door. Makes you wonder how secure the door lock is. Also you see hallway light coming around the door at night. The woman employee at the desk was very helpful. She showed us to our room to see if there was a grab bar in the tub, and there was."
"Everything is clean comfortable and fully functional. Great grocery nearby, great food and chill atmosphere in town. We were fortunate enough to witness an eagle spear a fish out of the lake right in front of us, minutes after we arrived. Beautiful AuSable river nearby. Very good birdwatching at the lighthouse just down the beach. Excellent “Up North “ experience."
"Had a great stay for a week at this hotel. Definitely a step up from the hotel behind it, and the location on Cook Road is nicely surrounded by various food and shopping options. The two double bed room was very spacious and the bathroom was nice, however I felt the bathroom did not have sufficient ventilation and the use of a sliding barn door on the bathroom was a bit lacking in the privacy department. The microwave being located outside of the room is a bit inconvenient, but it ended up being very close to my room. The refrigerator did not seem to get particularly cold. Staff were excellent, very helpful and kind. The pool area was clean and served as a great area to host my friends. Additionally, the rooms with balconies that come out to that area are a neat concept. The smoking gazebo is nice as a smoker, but I would appreciate a couple more being added as groups of people were occupying it at times throughout the day as a hang out spot (valid as it’s a nice spot to be.) Also some guy dropped an onion slice in there and left it (not valid.) The only major negative experience I had was when the water went out unexpectedly for a full day, That was very inconvenient as I was not able to shower, use the toilet or brush my teeth for a full day. I’m willing to consider it a fluke, but I was disappointed that it took so long to resolve. I will still happily stay at this hotel again in the future."
"Don't believe the good reviews.
The hotel is in need of new management.
My room was a 2-queen-bed room.
The floor of the bathroom was dirty. I could feel it when I walked on it in my bare feet. The bath towel for preventing water on the floor was dirty. I could literally see the dirty footprints of the previous user.
The wall had repairs on every wall and was just repaired with joint compound and not painted.
The curtains were falling down, and from the outside of the building, when you looked closer, you could see that all the rooms had the curtains falling and deteriorating.
The bathtub had somebody else's hair in the drain.
Do not stay here. This owner should sell and allow someone else to come in and refurbish the place. Although it may already be too far gone.
My companion had a room with a king-size bed, and their room was just as bad, with patches on the walls. No shampoo. Curtains falling down."
"The staff was very helpful and friendly. The property is decently maintained. The view of the water and beach is amazing! The room we had was very small for 4 people however we were right by a common room with a TV, comfortable chairs, and vending machines where we could go when our room felt too small. The pool was decently clean although with people coming and going from the beach there was a lot of sand. The hot tub jets didn't work well but the bathroom was clean. We didnt have a proper closet area but we did have a place to hang our clothes. Everything worked in the room although there was a lack of outlets for charging of devices. There wasn't a telephone in the room so we had to call down for assistance on our cell but that was fine. We were a bit concerned about the security since the doors to go in and out doors didn't have locks on them so anyone could go in and out. We would definitely stay here again though. It was a beautiful spot in a good location."
"Location was nice. Convenient across from pier and playground. Granddaughters enjoyed the pool. Good hot breakfast. The building seemed cheaply built. Not very sound proof for a newer building. Could hear people easily walking above us so didn’t get much sleep. Trim work didn’t seem to be finished. Nor the grout in the bathroom floor."
