We had a wonderful queen room that looked out over the side Street so we could see our motorcycle parked below. It was the Fourth of July and we kind of worried that someone might mess with my husband's Harley. OK, he worried about that LOL. We rolled into town late afternoon after a 7 hour ride, it was super hot, and we were so happy to get into our nice cool, clean room with bottled water and refrigerator where we could stash some beer. Stephanie had called and left a message on the way letting us know that no one would be there to check is in and how to access our room. It was super easy, and we appreciated the social distancing. People in town we're wearing masks outside and restaurants were open & the people in the restaurants working there were wearing masks. All in all, I feel like Michigan felt really safe for someone like me who has an auto immune disease and so therefore needs to be more careful than regular folks. But I think everybody needs to be careful now, let's be real. The Ramsdell Inn is in an old bank, very cool building with a lot of history. The room we had was decorated to reflect the era, our bed was a big wooden one, with fresh clean linens and plenty of pillows. We also had a very striking fireplace that we obviously would never use in July but it was it was cool. We were up and out the door by 7 AM to catch the ferry back to Milwaukee So we appreciated the granola and kind bars that were left in our room for us. We really weren't in this lovely inn or the town for very long but we loved it. And we will be back.

The Dempsey Manor didn't have any vacancy for that night, but the Ramsdell did and I'm so glad! It was really nice to just walk over to the nearby antique shops, and then after a movie at the Vogue just a step back down the sidewalk to go to bed. Enjoyed a cup of coffee in the morning in this little tower-nook. So novel!

Everything about this hotel was amazing. They have 3 levels with rooms, a top floor with a…read morerestaurant, a pool, an exercise room and a patio with a bar facing the beach that has multiple fire pits with seating. The staff were all friendly and made our experience that much better. The room we stayed in had 2 queen size beds, I didn't love the sheets but you can't be too picky with that at hotels. This hotel is fairy new, so the wear and tear of time hasn't had any impact on the hotel. Being so close to the beach was also another positive factor of this Hampton.

Booked a few nights at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Manistee. The location of this hotel was…read moreabsolutely perfect and for that alone will make this hotel worth it. We had a king balcony room on the top floor. Our balcony didn't feel the most secure, so I never really spent time on it, but my husband enjoyed it. The hotel was so close to the public beach and even had its own mini beach with sand near the outside bar. We were really impressed with the beach bar and the homemade sandwiches! The biggest disappointed was for the money we spent for the long weekend, we were not treated as a priority. Early on during our stay, our first full day, I accidentally broke a bottle of wine (fell right out of the fridge!). My husband had been contacting a rep from the hotel via text, as he's a honors member. He let them know about the broken glass, and asked if someone could come and pick up. After acknowledgement from the staff we came back 6+ hours later and it still wasn't cleaned and all the cleaning staff had left for the day and a very disgruntled employee was asked to tackle it. She clearly did want to help, and didn't. She never came back to the room. It took until the next day for someone to clean the broken glass from our room. Talk about safety hazard! Would I stay again? Maybe. The location is what is so great, but for the price I might try to stay in a higher end hotel. The staff really need to be trained in customer service. Every guests seemed to be an inconvenience.

First morning my wife had no hot water at 9:30 a.m. No king size beds...

Recently we booked a room here for two nights prior to our stay at a cottage we were renting in Onekama. The Casino nearby had rooms that were 2 x what we paid to stay here. This hotel is clean and has a comfortable living area. The complimentary breakfast is good and it includes coffee, juice, bagels,waffles, breakfast sandwiches, and cereal. The location is close to downtown Manistee (including Lake Michigan beaches, etc.) The staff is professional and friendly. Very soon there will be a Starbucks adjacent to the parking lot. What more can you ask for?

We experienced very disappointing customer service during our stay. After three nights in our…read moreroom--and with two nights remaining--we were informed at 8:30 p.m. that we were required to switch rooms due to scheduled construction. While the timing was inconvenient, the larger concern was the staff's complete lack of empathy regarding the disruption and the effort involved in relocating all of our belongings, including clearing out the kitchen and food items. I requested a refund for the remaining nights so we could move to another hotel, which required approval from the property since the reservation was made through a third-party booking service. Although staff verbally stated they were willing to accommodate this, they repeatedly refused to answer the calls needed to authorize the refund. This lack of cooperation made an already stressful situation unnecessarily difficult.

Coffee was also in the room. Water pressure was out of this world! Impressive! A little less impressed with the bed, unfortunately.

Extremely disappointing experience at Manistee Inn. The most upsetting part was being screamed at…read morein the hallway by the property manager and spoken to like we were children. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in a hospitality business and made an already frustrating experience even worse. Another major issue is the lack of staff in the hotel after around 6 PM. If something goes wrong or you have a problem during the evening, you're essentially left on your own with no one available to help. A hotel should provide a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment for its guests. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. Based on our stay, we would not recommend Manistee Inn and will not be returning.

The room was recently modernized, nice flat screen TV with good amount of channels, and nice sized room. The room and bathroom looked and felt clean, inside and out. Building looked maintained. The sink was separate from the rest of the bathroom; the bathroom was a good size with a shower/ tub with curved shower rod! The shower had good water pressure. The shampoo and conditioner was good - which was good since I forgot conditioner. The bed was a little softer than I'd prefer, but was still comfortable. There was a desk with a chair - which I tuned into a make up vanity. There was also a kinda-lazy boy chair - it was nice to have another chair option. The freezer didn't freeze anything, but kept them frozen. The a/c worked great, and we even had to turn to it "fan only" in the middle of the night. Breakfast was self-serve waffles, cold cereal, yogurt, juice, water, coffee/tea, hard boiled eggs There is no public restroom in the lobby area, so if you need to use restroom while enjoying breakfast, you need to hike back to your room. There is no elevator, so ask for a room in first floor if you need it. Big negative, although this is a non-smoking hotel, we saw hotel staff smoking outside the back entrance (this was the smoking area). I don't like people smoking at the doors because the smell always travels inside and I don't want to walk through a cloud of smoke. If traveling back the the area, I would stay here again.

Outside this hotel is ugly! Thankfully inside is much better. The rooms are a tad on the smaller…read moresize, but perfectly acceptable. A nice Queen bed that's nice and soft. I slept very good  a small dinning table with 2 chairs. A mini fridge and microwave. A decent sized tv. The lighting is a little dim, a center room light would have been nice. The room was very clean. In the bathroom the vanity is small, and the tub is prefab, however at least it goes to ceiling and doesn't stop at 6'. I wish the Hallway wall and door and more sound proofing, but between rooms seems good. Also the blackout curtain could be better. The pool and hot tub are decent. The service was very good and friendly. They have a complimentary breakfast that is cooked in the onsite restaurant, Oli appreciate that. Sadly I didn't try it because of plans, but still good on them. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Compared to a Hotel/Motel for a smaller town and the issues being so minor, I'm going to round up. Would I return? Yes, good value and a good room!

We would never had stayed there, but all the other hotels were completely booked…read more We should have realized what to expect, seeing that it is an Econo Lodge. It's an older hotel and looks its age. The carpet was awful and definitely needs an upgrade. The hotel is multi-storied without an elevator. We asked about a luggage cart but they don't have any. We had a mixup about our rate, which admittedly was my fault, but the front desk staff were very unhelpful in trying to solve this. We asked for an extra pillow which was never delivered. Upon opening the door this morning it was in the floor in front of our door. The person who delivered it didn't bother to knock and let us know. I would not have used it anyway since it had been on disgusting carpet. So spend a few bucks more & find a more decent place to stay in Manistee.
