I've travelled to Petoskey on business many times, and this is one of the nicer hotels in the area. If you are a AAA member or have a comp card from their casino, you can often get a room for about $70. The hotel lobby and rooms are tastefully decorated and very clean; not opulent, but comfortable. Beds are above-average in comfort, but they have unusually flat pillows. Basic continental breakfast is available every morning adjacent to the lobby. Internet access is available, but connection speed can be variable in the rooms.
Two important notes for potential first-time guests. Due to its tribal ownership, this is one the few hotels in Michigan that still offers smoking rooms (non-smokers be forewarned). Also, the casino is not attached to the hotel; it is about 1 mile away. A free shuttle is available for transport to/from the casino.

This was my 3rd return trip, so obviously I enjoy the Odawa Casino and the Petoskey area. This is not, nor is it intended to be a 5 star hotel, but if you enjoy smallish casinos in an area where you don't have to fight crowds this is a good place to be. The shuttle service between the hotel and casino works well, and if you are traveling during "off hours" when the shuttle does not run as frequently, just ask the staff and they will radio the driver for you. The people in this area are very friendly and the area is safe. I have always been pleased with the helpful attitude of the staff at both the hotel and casino.

Maybe it's because I had read the reviews and had realistic expectations that I was pleased with this hotel. We felt the room was very nice for the price and bed was very comfortable. We had a bay view which is somewhat of a distant view but still better than nothing. The refrigerator came in handy and the shuttle was handy as well.This isn't a high end hotel but , I thought for an Up North hotel it is better than the average hotel. We would give it a thumbs up.

We stayed for 2 nights. The room was clean - everything was good for the price - except they realy should get some new towels and bedding as they were kinda dingy light grey colour from being used and washed too much. The shuttle works out fine for the casino only 5 min. away. I would stay there again and would give it 3 out 5 stars.
