The PINES Country Inn — Hotel in Caledonia Charter Township

Beautiful updated bathroom with lots of counter space and a fabulous tub. Beds were clean and comfortable and it appeared there was new carpeting. First problem is keys didn’t work because battery in door lock was dead. They fixed it, no problem! Second thing there is a place to hang your clothes but they don’t provide any hangers. The smoke alarm had been ripped out of the wall so it is against the law to rent a room without a smoke alarm. Obviously people have smoked in our room because we could smell it. Air conditioner worked fairly well but it pulls in the smoke from the people outside of the building. Room was desperately in need of paint😵 But still OK. No lightbulb in the bedside light so we removed one from another light and stuck it in there. The building we were in is not the one in the picture. This looks like a long-term rental building, rust stains, etc. People of all “kinds” hanging out smoking, But outside your room it looked like it had not been swept in quite a while as there were a lot of old cigarette butts. The coup de grace was coming home from dinner and finding a car that look like I’ve been rolled about eight times with the hood up and guys in the parking lot fixing it. We not only deadbolt at our door we put a chair in front of it and, there are instructions tell you to deadbolt your door which was telling in itself. Super nice people running the place and they’re probably trying to slowly fix it up. Would I stay there again? Maybe if I could stay in the original small building and not in the building they don’t show you in the pictures. It was very close in price to a holiday inn express about 10 miles away which we probably would...

No it’s not a 5 star hotel in terms of luxury and amenities, however they are an exceptional motel in their category and a great value for the money. The outside isn’t fancy and showy — it’s tidy and neat and well maintained. Who needs more than that? One phone call and we were welcome to check in a bit early before we headed to a wedding. Check in was friendly, quick and easy. |Other positive reviews prepared us for the room but we were still impressed with how modern, updated and CLEAN it was! We are picky about cleanliness and condition and it passed easily. |The room had mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious and nicely finished. |Our king bed was comfy with plenty of pillows and quality sheets. |The air conditioning kept it chilly like we like it. |There is a nice little market within steps out the door with great coffee and more. |We love to support local businesses when we travel and the Pines is doing a great job! We will return if we are back...

We loved this place, it was such a great place to go for our trips back to visit family, the staff were nice and the rooms were nice for the price. However, in spite of what their site says, they are NOT pet friendly. The last time we brought our dog she had two accidents on the floor as she was older and had incontinence problems, we cleaned the floor as best we could with products that we bought and alerted the office at checkout which we were then afterwards charged a $100 cleaning fee. Now a year later, attempting to get a reservation in place and sadly without our dog to accompany us, only to find that because of the single incident we are no longer welcome even without a dog. It is unreasonable and unprofessional to act this way and I implore any who plan to bring your dog to stay with you; don't. Unless you never...
