Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Don’t waste your money. Ever since they got new ownership it’s gone downhill. No one is available after 9. No breakfast but on weekends. We’ve been coming here since 2016 and after this year, we are done. Staff is rude.

The pocket door to the bathroom was wedged half open, could not move it. Sharing a room with two other people made going to the bathroom and showering awful. Carpet was pilling so bad, it looked like turds everywhere. I expected somewhat rustic, but this room was very shabby. Even getting the key in the lock to open the door took lots of finageling to get it to open. Perk; the beach is awesome.

Place was sold in 2019 & new owners don't give a rip about the customers who do not share their nationality. Been going here every year, since 2016 & never had any issues booking next year's stay, upon checking out. At the end of my stay in 2021, they told me they were already fully booked for my week in 2022. So, made an adjustment & decided to go a week later this year. In March the hotel called me & wanted to know if I would give up my room for "a long-time customer" who had "forgotten" to book a room. The room they had me booked in, was "her favorite room" so I was the one they expected to give up, or change my plans AGAIN!! Apparently some "long-time" costumers are more important than others. Also, last year no housekeeping service; you put your own trash outside the door, if you need towels/toilet paper, etc. YOU have to go to the office to get them. But they still EXPECT you to tip the housekeeping staff!!! Will NEVER stay at this place again.

We needed a place to stay while attending a family weekend reunion and did not really spend much time here. We were traveling with my mom, so the prospect of a 2 bedroom unit with a kitchen ( smallish stove and full frig) was great. We liked being able to cook breakfast in the room. There is a decent breakfast provided, but if you have gluten issues, it is pretty much all muffins and bagel type offerings, with juice and fruit cup, so the kitchen was on our list of things we wanted. The place is on the beach , easy to find, and the staff was very friendly. The decor was pretty dated, but beds were comfier than i expected and the place is kept clean. For the price we paid, we were quite satisfied and would likely return.

Horrible stay. We have stayed at Lake Trail two other times and things were fine. We were given room 101 this time and it was so bad that we will not stay at Lake Trail again. Molding hanging in the doorway, sheets stained, didn't feel like we could walk barefoot, tub dirty, old 1990s 19" TV with bad picture, futon so uncomfortable you couldn't sit on it for any length of time and no ice and the freezer had not been thawed in who knows how long! All this for $103/night. To top that all off, we arrived after 16 hours of driving, found the condition of the place, went to the fellow manning the desk and all we got was "sorry, I can't move you". Nope...not again!

Room was dirty, cobwebs everywhere, TV did not work, lights flashing, phone not working, musty smell - other than that - well no. Feel sorry for the worker - not her fault this place is run down and is not up to standards.

We drove to Oscoda for a last minute overnight trip. The website wasn't working and we couldn't really see any photos of the room, but we decided to take a chance. Yes, this is an old school 60s style motel and the kitsch element would work better if the decor was a little more cohesive, there were actual glasses and not plastic cups, and it didn't smell like a nursing home. The nursing home smell went away after we opened the window for a while. It was disappointing that a room billed as a "luxury suite" had zero view of the water. The wifi was spotty at best. The continental breakfast was nothing to write home about. This could be a really cool place with minimal updates and a super deep cleaning.

I've stayed at the Lake Trail for both family and business visits to Oscoda. For the price, this is a really great deal. We've always found the rooms, even though some are a bit dated, to be clean and well maintained. The hotel does not pretend to be fancy, just simple and clean. There's a great beach, too. We recently stayed over New Year's Eve and found that it was very quiet. For us, the location is ideal. Close to relatives, grocery store, church and right on the lake. You're not far from movie theater and other shops downtown. Our room did not smell of smoke (non smokers and very sensitive to smoking smell) but did notice that there were some areas of the outer screened in hallway that did smell like smoke. It did not permeate our room and didn't bother us. We always stay here when making quick trips to visit family and friends in Oscoda and will come back again.
