I loved the proximity of the lake to our room. I do not know why we were given an accessible room that had handicapped parking in front. I made the mistake of parking in one and was confronted by the guest above me. She warned me it was a handicapped spot and that her inlaws needed that space. I moved my car. Other patrons parked there and did not have handicapped placard. I do not think the paint is bright enough to see. I feel terrible for taking a spot that i shouldnt have been in. I made sure to not do again.

Excellent resort!

I’m a pretty picky traveler, and I have small children so when things go wrong on a trip, I get really upset. There was literally not one thing that went wrong with our stay! I’m so impressed with everything that we will definitely be back! My three-year-old had a great time playing in the pool, and visiting the beach right next to the resort. We really enjoyed walking downtown and checking out the little shops and cafés. The Customer Service at the front desk is amazing! They were so accommodating and provided anything that we needed when we asked.

Great staff at the desk and housekeeping did a great job each day cleaning up. Just a short walk to the beach and lighthouse. Also a short walk to shops and dining. Donuts in lobby each morning were great. Would love to come back. About 35 minutes to Sleeping Bear Dunes entrance.

We stayed at Harbor Lights Resort during a few stints my husband worked at the local hospital last month, February. We've come across this resort many times during the summer as well and the location is gorgeous!! Its proximity to local restaurants the beach and shops is perfect!! We were so happy with the customer service, the room, the amenities, nice kitchen, bathroom fireplace. Its a great place to stay we give it a 12 out of 10. We stayed in the 1 bedroom suite. We will definitely be back!!
