Top Grayling Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Grayling

8/10 Good

"Very reasonable price."

The Windmoor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The Windmoor Lodge is a cute and cozy place for an overnight stay. The linens were clean, and the bathroom was also very clean and well-maintained. A couple of small improvements would make the stay even better. I wish there were blinds or some type of privacy covering on the bathroom window. It would also be helpful to have clearer instructions for the outdoor amenities. We tried to use the fire pit but couldn’t find anything to help get the fire started, and when we finally got it going, it only stayed lit for about 10 minutes. Overall, it was a nice and comfortable place for a short stay."
