After a few genuinely wretched motel experiences I've become an AirBnB convert. And if an AirBnB…read moreroom isn't available I want to do a little research on nearby motels. Neither of these options was available when I found myself in a lonely part of Michigan without cell service at about bed time. So I rolled the dice and got a room at the McKinley Corner Inn. The service was wonderfully welcoming and low key. The price was right. And the room was clean and tidy. The wi-fi was spotty and was only available near the office but I slept well and woke up refreshed and eager to attack the next day.

We had…read moreoriginally booked an Airbnb but upon discovering that it didn't have air conditioning, we called the Colonial less than two weeks before our trip. To our relief, they had a vacancy with air conditioning. We booked room 16, which is the two bedroom suite. It's quirky and seems like it used to be an apartment, and I was excited to discover it had a full kitchen. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn't have a single utensil, plate, pot, or pan. Not even any dish soap. My son has very specific dietary restrictions so eating out wasn't an option. We wound up going to Koschers and spending $20 on a frying pan, and buying disposable utensils, soap, etc. We made it work but it was frustrating to have a kitchen that was completely unusable. Additionally, the entire place stunk of stale cigarette smoke, despite it being a nonsmoking suite. I wasn't worried about this until the smell managed to seep into everything we owned during our three day stay. It was also FILTHY. There were dead bugs all over the floor when we checked in. The tile floor was so dirty that we had to wear socks during our stay. When we walked around barefoot, our feet turned black. The bathtub and kitchen sink didn't have drain stoppers, but luckily we had some silicone baby bowl lids that we used to plug both the sink and the tub. That said, I was impressed with the older man who works there. When we made our reservation we let them know our plane didn't land in Detroit until 5, so we may barely make it before the office closed at 9. Through a series of mishaps we didn't leave DTW until 7. When I called to let them know our delay, he said he'd leave the room open for us and we could just stop by the office in the morning. This was very nice of them. I can't say I'd want to stay here again.

The only bummer is there is NO restaurants in the area! Especially during the week. There are a few bars in town but you will only get bar-type grub there which is mediocre at best. We have been vacationing in Port Austin for almost 20 years and the lack of eating establishments in the area has us stumped. Best advice, bring a bunch of snacks! Enjoy your stay!

There was an alarm clock that had multiple different charging cables in it. Very clean bathroom and the wood floors were nice versus carpet. 10/10 I would stay here again. My only complaints are very minimal... (I hope my complainants don't discourage people from staying here. It's a GREAT little motel. We were just passing through but I wish we could have stayed longer) The heat is set at 68° and then you can turn on the baseboard heaters if you're cold. My husband and I like it chilly at night so 68° felt very warm. Luckily they had a box fan in the corner so that was very helpful. My other complaint is the soap and shampoo and condition felt cheap and didn't smell very goos. I wish a motel as cute as this one would upgrade to a nicer recognizable brand.
