Charlevoix House

  : The location of The Charlevoix House was good with a very short walk to downtown, to the Pine River walks out to Lake Michigan and to local restaurants and shops. While located on a VERY busy highway (Rt. 31), the neighborhood behind the house is quiet and pleasant for walking. Our first night's room The Golf Room) fronted Rt. 31 but the road noise was bothersome than were the voices coming from the room above us and beside us. Thin walls, I guess. Our room was comfortable but only had a single table lamp as a light source. The king-size bed was comfortable. The bathroom was tiny, and a plus-sized person wouldn't do well in it. The plumbing worked adequately. The room above us had a shower leak in the morning that leaked into our room, and we were given The Guest Cottage for our second night. This room had more lighting and a much larger bathroom and shower. There was a small side room with a cottage bed in it and the room would have, comfortably, fit 3 guests. The king size bed was very comfortable. A "Continental Breakfast" was included. There was an egg frittata and biscuits with sausage gravy on our first morning and egg & crumbled sausage "sliders" the second morning. Also, cereals, some fruit, English muffins, etc. There was a microwave and a toaster oven for guest use. The innkeeper, LIz, was VERY friendly and helpful. The guest lounge area had a couple of tables with hard wooden chairs and then a sofa & chairs in front of a fireplace. Overall, it more like staying at a friend's house than a B&B but we would, definitely stay here again.
  : Tiny Dixie cups in room instead of a decent sized glass. No coffee maker in the room and no Keurig in the breakfast area. Instant coffee could made using the microwave to heat water and brewed coffee was available by, about, 7am or so. Very limited lighting for reading and few electric outlets in the rooms and common areas. Other than that, this was a perfectly adequate inn and we enjoyed our two-night stay.

  : We liked the room we transferred to after complaining to Liz. We loved Liz. Breakfast was good.
  : We hated the first room we were assigned that was in the attic. The stairs to get up there were narrow and uneven, could hardly get our bags up there, not to mention I hit my head twice on the jutting ceilings. The floors creaked. The room we transferred to was better (ground floor), however the floors dipped and were slanted we felt a little off kilter. The sheets in the bed were pilled (old).

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : They refunded my money
  : No one available for check-in. Called 2 different numbers. Finally a txt response... I responded, then no response for another 15-20 minutes. Ended up leaving to find another place to stay. Eventually got a sorry response and money refunded.
