Top St. Helen Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Houghton Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super welcoming, the rooms and facilities were some of the cleanest I have experienced. Tons of parking - the pool was under renovation, but that was communicated prior to my stay."

Lumber Jack Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"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."

AuSable Valley Inn

2/10 Terrible

"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."

Quality Inn & Suites

2/10 Terrible

"On arrival parking lot was full of potholes, remnants of a partially collapsed hockey rink blocked a portion of the parking access. Front desk was pleasant but did not review any of the particulars, the exterior doors were never locked and were insecure in regard to entrance by literally anybody, breakfast consisted of some extremely watered down juice of indistinguishable flavors and a tray of “scrambled eggs “ that consisted of watered mixed with some form of yellow mix to simulated eggs. No other breakfast items were present at the breakfast station that I visited at 7:30 am. The room was run down with worn dirty carpet, a complicated app for the tv that sometimes loaded and sometimes failed to load, and no channel guide. The bathroom had scattered areas of mold in the shower tile groat, paint was peeling from the ceiling in small spots, the shower curtain rod was Rusty, the shower head was old tech but did work, the bathroom towels consisted of scum ou wash cloth and hand towel and a “ bath towel” that may have been suitable for a small child. Furnishings were old and tired. During my stay the motel had a fire that required evacuation of the building. When I returned later that evening after fishing for the day it was clear that my room had been entered, the luggage rack was folded laying in the floor and there were no towels, etc in the bathroom. I had to go to the front desk where I was given a set of towels and was told they had to “inspect and ventilate” the rooms."
