For Christmas we chipped in and got my parents a weekend away for eleven! The two of them with their descendants. We live in the area, and have always wanted to visit/tour the Castle. This was the perfect opportunity. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One thing that would have been helpful would have been to know which floors different things are on. The exercise and weight rooms are on the third floor. So is the game area. The library is on the 8th floor. But we went for a long walk until we stumbled across them!

We stayed for a softball trip. 8 families rented units, kept getting notifications about "no parties" we were not having parties girls were just visiting each others rooms. AND like I said we PAID for 8 rentals. The bed was that of a prison mattress, even my 11 yr olds back was hurting after 1 night. DISHES WERE TERRIBLE bring your own dishes if u plan to cook. Pool was nice lake was nice parking was nice. Hallways stink of mold and pee

Our kids loved staying in the castle and the room was decorated with fun castle touches. It was very big with plenty of room for two families and the room itself was very clean. The pool was nice. The library/game room were a little tired and dated, but overall, it was a fun place to stay. Thanks for hosting us!

Very nice property. All good except that the pool was closed for the 2 days that we were there, and we were disappointed that there was not more soap/shampoo available in bathrooms (might put dispensers in the room?) Otherwise, a good experience!

We loved our time at the Castle. Our boys thought it was so cool that we got to stay in a castle for the weekend. The apartment was well stocked and everything was comfy and cozy. The building was very quiet and I rarely heard another person. We enjoyed the game rooms and library. Great communication also. Some things outside of the actual rooms are in need of repair (cracking and peeling paint and broken baseboards) but nothing that impacted our stay! I have a feeling we will be back!

This property is fun and quirky. My kids thought it was like Hogwarts and loved the library and game room the most. We had the Presidential Penthouse and the view of GR was awesome. It is huge and more than a family of 4 needed but so much fun.

Not your typical hotel. We received all instructions and checked in and out through a link. Which was convenient for us. The covered parking was great because it rained that weekend and with little ones it was no hassle. The apartment itself was very spacious and in excellent condition. Everything was clean and organized. No opening all the drawers to find things since everything was labeled. Cons: Our only issue was that the box spring on the beds were very noisy. Everytime we turned or got up the bed would squeak. The pull out bed in the living room hardly had a mattress. We didn’t use it as it was too uncomfortable.

When we first arrived, the directions had different pictures than what we actually had to do (different pictures of doors or lock systems), but we did find the penthouse. The laundry room was in disarray (clothes thrown about, dryer door wide open) which wasn't the best first impression. The beds are super comfortable and it was fun to say we were going to a 'penthouse' or 'castle' but we will not be returning. We also felt the 'fully stocked' kitchen wasn't as stocked as we wanted. I can't remember what was missing. A few things. Nice to do this once.

Our kids were so impressed with the idea of staying in a castle!! The wow factor was definitely worth it. It was a little difficult to find our way around the complex, but only when we were looking for the library, game room, etc. The directions provided for parking and getting to the room were perfect. It was a little warm in a couple of the bedrooms, but the hosts seemed to have anticipated this. There were several standing fans in the closets. We made use of these and were just fine.

We really enjoyed our stay at the castle; it worked out very well for our family of nine. It was so nice to have the laundry there and the view was great with it being on the 11th floor. Sleeping arrangements worked well and having 2 bathrooms was so convenient. There was an issue with the lock/doorknob upon arrival and Mitten was very attentive, even sending a maintenance worker to help solve the problem later at night. We would for sure consider staying again the next time we are in Michigan.

The property was not a high quality location. The furnishings were low quality, the mattresses had worn “spots” or indentations. Checking in was super difficult as we were not given the code to the outdoor apartment complex garage and that made it very hard to enter. Our arrival time was 11:30 pm so you certainly did not feel like dealing with that upon arrival. Overall this was comparable to a quality inn or days inn motel. Disappointed
