Top Alpena Hotel Reviews

Alpena Home, Sleeps 10, Game Room, pet friendly, Walk to Lake & Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This place is perfect for a weekend up north with the family! House was clean, easy to find & check into, and has everything you need for a comfortable and cozy stay."

Ramada by Wyndham Alpena

10/10 Excellent

"We always love coming here!! It’s a little dated but still our favorite place to go. The pool and hot tub are always clean, the amenities are perfect for families and you’re close to everything. Our only complaint would be that the person who checked us in was less than pleasant and a bit difficult. She attempted to tell us that we couldn’t check in because I booked the room and my partner was paying and since the card didn’t match the booking that we couldn’t check in (we were there with our 8 year old child). After a little back and forth we were finally able to check in. With that said, this will still be our go to spot."

Days Inn by Wyndham Alpena

8/10 Good

"We stayed at multiple Wyndham's hotels during our week visit through the area. This hotel had a well-cleaned room, yet the room had a slight musty smell. It was evident that those cleaning the room likely took pride in their work. On the other hand, the halls were smelly. The pool was nice, but the hot tub was not heated. There was no exercise room. The continental breakfast was fine, for the price. I didn't expect much. Overall, for the price, I suppose they did fine."

NEW LISTING! Spacious 4-bedrooms lake front retreat in delightful Alpena area.

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great. A beautiful lake surrounded by nature. Quiet and peaceful. It’s a short drive into town with lots of restaurants and shopping. The hosts were very responsive and checked in on us. I definitely recommend this rental."
