Let me start by saying I was born and raised in East Tawas, Michigan so I am aware that there are no 5 star accommodations available and we were not expecting any. Upon arriving at the property we realized it is an apartment that is located on top of a pizza shop. This was not stated anywhere in the property description and resulted in an ambiance and smell in the apartment of, you guessed it, pizza. Not the end of the world since I could eat pizza every day of the week, but it should be stated in the property discription. After we ascended the steep and very long stairway we were pleased to see that the apartment was clean and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the sofa sectional pictured in the property discription was the most comfortable sofa I think I've ever sat on. The "balcony" as it was described is actually a 3 foot wide area that runs the length of the building and is literally on top of the pizza shop roof, so the view consists of the bay on the horizon and the business lights, ventilation units and other mechanical machinery directly in front of you. Oh and the lights. The business building lights are directly in front of you so be prepared to pull shades and still have them shining into the living room and master bedroom. A bit reminiscent of the Seinfeld episode where Kenny Rodgers chicken restaurant lit up Kramers room in a red hue. Our first morning there the refrigerator was not working, and due to the fact it was Thanksgiving day and the property owner had told me the day before he would be out of town for Thanksgiving, we purchased a cooler and iced the food we had. The next day, which was Black Friday I did email him and let him know of the problem and he did replace the refrigerator while we were out during the day. Still, one would expect that would have been caught during a pre arrival check. The owner did extend an offer of an extra days stay or a free pizza. Not sure how those values equal each other but we obviously could not extend our stay as we were going back home. We did decide to take the free pizza offer, however the owner never called me back to make the arrangements so we invested $32 into the Tawas economy by purchasing the pizza ourselves. When combined with aggravations like the heat either being smoking hot or freezing cold, vents from the pizza shop being directly outside the bedroom window, lots of traffic noise and no reserved parking, the value of this property stay quickly disappeared.
