“very clean polite owners good size room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2010

person found this review helpful

when we go to that part of michigan we usually stay at a run down hotel in standish (never knew about this one) this last time we went there we decided to go a little further and just see what else is around, we came across this hotel decided to stay there and what can I say it was one of the best family owned hotels we have ever stayed at, from now on we will drive a little further just to stay here. the rooms were a lot larger than most hotels, I liked the extra touch of having a fridge and coffee pot in the room, we had three small children with us and there was enough room for them to play in the room.

it was very clean, we could tell they took pride in their business and it was well taken care of. I have absolutely NO complaints about this hotel.

“Very Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2009

person found this review helpful

We came to the Harbor Inn for a family reunion. Many family members stayed at the camp ground across the street (2 minute walk) and some stayed at the Harbor Inn. We were told not to expect too much but we were pleasantly pleased. The building is a number of years old but has had considerable updates. The owners bent over backwards to assist with anything we needed and were always very pleasant. This is not a 5 star hotel, it is a nice little travel motel.

“Excellent owners and stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2009

I have stayed numerous times at this motel and would recommend the stay to anyone going through the Augres area. It is a family ran business and makes you feel right at home especially if you have children of your own. The rooms are very nice and the owners are very friendly and want to make sure there guest are happy. My kids love the pool it is a good size and kept at the right temperature. They have outside picnic tables so if you want to relax outside and just visit with friends in the fresh air you are more than welcomed to. Agan the owners are very polite and down to earth and the stay is overall great. If you plan on going to Augres Michigan or through Augres the harbor inn would be the best place to stay. They have an exercise room pool area coin laundry outside seating and ect. Try it out I know I will again when I go back up north. Tracy Arebelo

“Clean, wonderful , and very hospitable Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2008

My experience with the Harbor Inn was terrific from the first phone call to check out. The woman who took my reservation was professional, courteous, and understandable. When I checked in the owner was welcoming and attentive. The price was reasonable and worth every penny.
My room was spotless and well cared for, with crisp linens on a very comfortable bed and a desk and chair for my laptop. They have a SECURE wireless connection. The refrigerator and coffee pot were neat and clean. The covered porch had comfortable deck furniture, a coke machine and a grill available to guests. There was parking right outside my door.
The pool and hot tub were sparkling clean and there were many tables and chairs for relaxing around the pool.
The continental breakfast was very good, with bagels, english muffins, raisin toast, granola bars, coffee, and fruit. The juice, butter and cream cheese were kept fresh and cold in a refrigerator next to the counter.
The customer service was excellent. They answered all of my questions, gave me great information on area attractions and even made telephone inquiries for me. They gave me directions to the casino and a fun Irish Pub. All the while maintaining a comfortable, homey atmosphere. Even the cat welcomed me.
The location was terrific, close to restaurants, shops, two golf courses and parks, as well as a harbor with a dog run for my puppy. Yes they accept pets too!
Housekeeping was unobtrusive and kept my room very nice for the three days I stayed. Everyone I had contact with was friendly, polite and helpful.
This is my hotel of choice for any stay within 50 plus miles of Au Gres.

  • Liked — The friendly, courteous service
  • Disliked — My stay was too short.

“Subpar hotel gets superb rating”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2008

After reading the past reviews I feel obligated to stick up for this American family owned and operated hotel. Keep in mind your in Au Gres Michigan... Where? Exactly. The biggest event(s) held in the city is a fishing tournament and the local High school football games. Being a past small business owner I realize the hard ships this family is going through. I spent some time talking and getting to know the owners and I was very impressed on their intelligence and 'go-get-em' attitude. Au Gres is a town going under because of snooty high-maintenance people (see past two reviewers). This is not the Hilton. This is a privately owned and operated hotel and from my experience it had the best service than any star rated hotel.
It takes understanding and respect. This couple has a lot on their plates (and have to share some of that with their 5 sons). It's a hard business and I have lots of respect for them and wish them the best of luck. I had absolutely no problem paying the price they asked because I know they only had those prices so they could feed themselves after the bills came in.

  • Liked — Service and the family friendly atmosphere
  • Disliked — The fact that such a nice couple is having such a hard time trying to keep every guest happy
