My Girlfriend and I (both in our mid 20s) decided to get out of town for a night and booked a cabin at Pere Marquette with the Eagle Watching Package . This package includes two drinks, dinner, breakfast, and your room. When we arrived at Pere Marquette we checked in and decided to go check out the bar and have a drink before dinner. We order two drinks that were pretty poorly made, and consisted mostly of cheap booze. If you go to the bar I would recommend wine or beer, however when we were there they had no beer on draft because they were having issues with the taps.
Next we went to dinner. You have a select menu to order from, and maybe the normal menu has better food. I got pot roast and my girlfriend got pork medallions. The pot roast was decent. The pork medallions however were not medallions at all, and were really more like pieces of ham? Both meals came with vegetable that were canned pea and carrots. None of it was very good. We ordered two beers (we learned from our cocktail attempt) and got two warm bottles of beer.
After Dinner we decide to go check out the pool area. We got in the pool, which was actually pretty decent, then later got in the hot tub which was not nearly as nice. The hot tub has a liner in it, which is peeling up from the bottom. It obviously needs some work to be up to code
We headed back to the room and start looking around, and it left a lot to be desired as well. The smoke detector was literally hanging from the ceiling by some wires, the comforter on the bed has stains on it, the bath room looked overall gross and out dated, one wall had water stains on it, it has a really cheesy electric fire in the fire place that made noise when it ran, and it has a air freshener that blasted out stuff every 15-20 minutes. Not only did the bath room look overall gross, the shower shot out a pretty small amount of water with extreme pressure and no adjustment. They asked if I wanted a room with a king size bed, which it did have, along with a set of bunk beds. The King sized bed was really not comfortable at all. Maybe the bunk beds would be better?
For breakfast we got pancakes, and they were actually pretty OK. Everything was technically as advertised, but left a lot to be desired in all categories. I knew that we were staying in a lodge and not a fancy hotel, but I expected quite a lot better. It seemed like Pere Marquette might have been nice 10 years ago, but is now in major need of renovation.
