We had a great stay! The front desk staff was very welcoming and helpful. We stayed in the newly…read moreconstructed/renovated tower on the 4th floor. The "new room smell" was quite strong, but the room was spotless and well-appointed. The view was amazing. We dined at the restaurant on site - good service, good food, great view. Bigby Coffee is not our favorite but it is certainly convenient. Plenty of parking, great amenities - we didn't have time to take advantage of the free bikes and kayaks but what a great option to have! The pool/hot tub/sauna are dated but it was clean and nice to have available. We would stay again if we come back this way.

This hotel was undergoing renovations when we visited. The property is absolutely beautiful with…read moreviews of the lake. Having just sprained my knee, I appreciated the pool and jacuzzi. It was just what the doctor ordered and aleviated my pain. I visited with my service dog and had no issues so long as he was wearing his vest. The staff was helpful and courteous. They even followed up with a text message to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The restaurant on site was quite pricy. I did not try the coffee shop that brewed their own local coffee. Our room was recently renovated. It was perfect for us since we parked right outside the door. It was tastefully decorated with scenes of Michigan's natural beauty. Outside, there was also a pathway along the lake to go for a stroll and enjoy the outdoors. I would definitely return to this hotel on my next visit to Escanaba!

I was on a flexible schedule and did not have a reservation for the night in the area. I found this…read morehotel after 2 hours of searching and calling. The price was reasonable, considering the supply vs demand. The hotel is dated but otherwise modern enough, clean enough, staff polite enough. Other guests quiet enough, parking plenty. There are toiletries and coffee packets, a coffee maker, microwave, mini-fridge, bathtub(getting harder to find, these days), A/C and flat screen tv. There are coffee and juice but that's it. No breakfast. For me, this is perfect!

Conveniently located within an hour or so of Escanaba, Munising, Marquette and other day trips in the U.P. Michael was great at recommending a route for our fall color drive, too! We rented the kitchenette, with two adjoining rooms. A really great price. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans, and coffee was provided. Full size refrigerator was a plus. New carpeting and bedding - and very clean throughout. Small bathroom was clean and newly finished. Small patio sitting area outside the room was very cute. TVs in both bedrooms with cable. Dining area in kitchen for eating in, which we did take advantage of. Behind the motel is a large wooded area where we took our dog for morning walks. Very dog friendly. Michael was great at providing extra towels, paper towels and other items upon request. This is a great local motel and I highly recommend it! The owners obviously take great care in maintaining this little retro gem in the U.P.

Saved my husband the time and effort to go buy these things. I'm ever grateful and thankful for her gracious kindness. Although the motel itself was dated, it was clean and we had all we needed and more for a restful nights sleep. And the foot was much improved in the morning. Again I can't thank her enough. By the way, loved her dogs.

They have this enormous game room and it's always empty. I mean, I was there for two days and never saw a single person walk in the direction of that room. There's pool and pinball and a ridiculously loud jukebox that you can't turn down when you drunkenly start it at 2:30 in the morning even though people are sleeping and you're lucky because it's the Midwest and they're too polite to complain. The room was quaint. It's Gladstone, you're not going to get a cosmopolitan loft. You'll get a nice, local painting. Maybe a floral quilt. Definitely some hardwood siding. It's a good place to sleep.

The half sized mini refrigerator is located in a place where you have to be a contortionist to get to....... I.e. on your hands and knees.‼‼ Just unbelievable. And of course, there is no ice machine at the Gladstone motel. The rooms are arranged bizarrely with no nightstand on the right side of the bed, instead, an oversized sofa seat is where the nightstand should be. There is no person on site to check you in, resolve issues, etc. Shame on me for not checking out this dump before I booked as there are many other choices in the Gladstone area.

We were not able to find anything until we drive in Sleepy Hollow Motel. They has one room and we took it because it was late at night and everything else was booked. The staff was friendly, and the price was not bad at $75 for the night. But the room needed major updating and new beds. One of the beds had a box spring that had some staines on it that my wife an I was questions if it was blood. Not something you want to see in a motel. Anyways we stood the night and got on our way first thing in the morning.
