I've stayed here many nights (about 14 days) while working in the area. The doors are outside,…read morethere are no indoor halls... just park and walk into your room. The rooms are okay, caulk is splitting, cracks in the tiles in the tub, the toilet is in a very awkward spot, definitely not a 5 star place HOWEVER the service workers are what sets this place apart. I was staying during a snow storm, and the morning worker cleared off all the vehicles in the lot early morning before I left for work!! Breakfast area is always clean and he is very attentive to keeping things stocked. I wish I knew his name so I can address him properly. Another time I came back to my room and it was cleaned (mid stay) and they left me a toilet paper rose! So cute. The gentleman who checked me in was also very attentive, although I would like to add they shouldn't say the room numbers out loud, and how to find it, especially when other guests are around.. traveling alone as a female is stressful enough. I will come back again and recommend this place to others mainly for the crew!

This hotel completely mishandled my stay. I was checked into a room by a front desk employee who on…read moreher own decided to switch me to a different room. I never asked for any changes. Later I found out they contacted my employer without telling me, supposedly to fix a "reservation issue" that I never created. That's a serious breach of trust. I was never asked, never informed, and their response was full of excuses instead of accountability. They tried to frame it like they were doing me a favor but in reality, they created a problem and dragged my employer into it without my consent. If you're staying here through a corporate program, be aware they'll make decisions behind your back and then justify it later however they see fit. I won't be staying here again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who values privacy or professionalism.

Friendly owners, perfect amenities, rock-bottom rates. The rooms are modest, traditional roadside-motel style, and are kept spotlessly clean.

They have great coffee in the breakfast nook :)If you don't book there this summer you lose!

The rooms are thoroughly clean and a thorough amount of towels and toiletries were provided (more than some top of the line motels/hotels!). Despite looking dated, the ac worked better than most expensive hotels I've stayed at. All in all, great bang for your buck. PS. I love the cats

Adequate, more or less clean, but certainly not anything special…read more Our room had two beds, my friend and I both slept reasonably well so I suppose the beds were comfortable enough for what we needed. The lighting in the room was a little bit older, but it served its purpose. The furnishings were also a little bit worn in. I suspect the people that typically stay here don't have an issue with such things, but you could tell the items in the room were all a little bit long in the tooth. Check-in went more or less OK, although the staff seemed a bit bewildered and disorganized. It was cute when we were handed actual keys. Such a novelty to have actual keys instead of key cards in this day and age. We had to use their little dropbox to turn the keys in when we left early the following morning. This was fine of course but I would've appreciated being told about it in advance. On balance I don't think this would be my first choice for a stay again in the future.

Other guests at that hotel made for a miserable night, smoking and drinking into the wee hours outside their room directly below us. Complete with a drunken brawl at one point. I also had an issue getting a hold of staff in the morning when I accidentally left something behind when we left. We'd left the key in the room, as instructed. Fortunately, I was able to retrieve it because we forgot to close the door all the way; there no one in the office until 9 am and calls to both numbers posted for help before then weren't answered. I would have told the owners myself if I could have.

The price was right though. On a holiday weekend we payed around $70 a night (compared to $150 in Mack City). No coffee maker, no shampoo, the television had cable but was a very old tv that had lines through it. The AC worked great and the bed was comfortable. The place was apparently booked up over Labor Day, yet it was really quiet. We didn't hear any of the neighbors at all. The staff was very friendly. I would probably stay here again as a last minute/money saving motel. It only took us about 20 minutes if that to drive into Mackinaw City.
