    This is the nicest hotel that we have stayed in in the UP. We go on a trip every tear for our anniversary. We went to the UP In 20, 22, and now 22. We did arrive pretty late. They usually have staff from 11pm to 7am, but they didn't the night we were staying. We arrived at 11:20, and the lady at the front was super accomodating. We had called before hand and they let us know that it would be ok. When we walked the halls, everything looked super nice and clean. They had some nice art work, super nice chairs, and decor. We walked in the room and we saw there was a door that let to the bedroom and one for the bathroom: the bathroom had another door that also led to the bedroom. They were really nice wood doors. There was a small living room. The bed was massive (we got a king). The room was super clean too. We were so happy to have a nice clean room. We did have breakfast in the morning. The breakfast was great too. When we were checking out, the worker reminded us we have discounts at local shops. We decided to go to the party store to get some gas.

    Clean, modern and updated decor, spacious king bed suites and perfect for our family of four - way better than expected ! We arrived late and had easy check in . We loved the common area with board games and tables to eat and spend time with another family traveling with us! Great place to stay as a base camp for local hikes , kayak trips , boats/ cruises , and beautiful beaches .

    Cool bathroom with a shower. Modern decor.

    The hotel is very warm and welcoming. The old hospital is remodeled into a modern hotel. This is the third time we have stayed here and the bed is comfortable with an attached suite. The many touches with the blanket having a cute belt, granite bathroom sink with iron legs, freshly painted walls with gorgeous wood trim and doors. Wide doorways and gorgeous photos of Lake Superior adorn all walls. Short walk into town, church, grocery store and the lake. Views of Lake Superior on the north side of the building are amazing. There is a snack room with treats and soft drinks. Staff are friendly and the place is spotless. Worth the stay. The attached restaurant Tracey's is delicious. Have fun with this stop!

    Stayed at Roam for a few days. It was a really cute and unique place to stay. Great location. The room was cute. We had a suite and well yes looking out off the balcony you do see the highschool you can still see munising Bay and it's beautiful! You can walk down across the street and catch a sunrise at the multiple picnic tables down by the bay. The major complaint was the air-conditioner was right next to the head of the bed and it blew directly into your face while asleep, and had a slight mildew smell. There were no screens on the windows or the sliding door so you couldn't enjoy a fresh breeze, kinda weird. Staff was great and so was the restaurant downstairs, very pricey but was worth it to eat there once. Kinda akward walking through the restaurant to get to your hotel room suite . The regular rooms you dont have to they have a back entrance. In the morning at the bar area of the restaurant they had out muffins and yogurt and granola, cereal and fruit which was nice to have. The muffins were amazing!

    Loved our stay at Roam Inn!! We booked this place for our honeymoon and arrived to the sweetest letter with a bottle of champagne. Highly recommend this place. We stayed three nights in #18 king suite with a balcony and great views of the water. Such a relaxing week. I actually called a few weeks ago to get some recommendations since we had never been up here and Debbie was so helpful!! She even made me a reservation at Tracy's, the restaurant at the Inn. Food was amazing!! We got the surf and turf for 2 ($125). The week was filled with hiking the beautiful waterfall trails in the area. Everyone in the town is really nice and made our experience so great! We will be coming back in the Summer!

    So many plugs!!!!!

    I was able to stay at the Roam Inn when I went to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the spring of 2018. We arrived on a Friday afternoon and it was a rainy morning but the evening was nice enough to enjoy sitting on the patio of Tracey's (the restaurant in the hotel) and enjoy a few Happy Hour drink specials. I ordered the pineapple margarita (Not that great for a margarita but not surprising for northern Michigan.) and my boyfriend got one of their Michigan beers. I honestly would recommend trying the beers at Tracey's as they have a largish selection and several from the UP region. I really enjoyed the patio and on the Saturday afternoon we were there and had some down time the bar was closed but we got a 6 pack of local beer from a store up the road and enjoyed sitting on the patio again. The front desk dude (I am pretty sure his name was Andy and he was just the best!) told us the hotel was originally a mansion, added onto for a retirement home and about two years ago renovated into a hotel. The majority of the rooms (except for a few above the restaurant and common area) are on the first floor with the hotel floor plan being roughly in the shape of a U. We were in room 11 and it was very charming. The view out our room window was of a fence but you don't go all the way to the UP of Michigan to sit in your hotel room so I wasn't that upset. The mini bar selection was extensive, the bed was super comfy, the closet nook area was efficient, they had Discovery on the TV and overall it was very clean. The only things I have to complain about the room were pet peeves like no soap dish in the bathroom and no mirror in the room other than the bathroom mirror. The common spaces, employees and Tracey's restaurant were probably the best parts about staying at the Roam Inn. Just past the front desk in the hall leading to most of the rooms are a ton of photos of the area and a giant map of Northern Michigan and the UP. The map had a bunch of details and listed several great activities to do based on your interests like hiking or kayaking. There were a ton of bathrooms in the common area (Which I totally appreciated since I am usually a big bathroom shopper and we stopped in at Tracey's a couple times while we were there!) that were beautifully appointed and very clean. The front desk check in is a bit awkwardly located right in the middle of the bar but we knew exactly where the bar was as soon as we got there! (If they just flipped in 180 degrees to the other hall or swapped it with the bathroom directly in front of the front door, I think it would be less cramped but I am no interior designer either.) The patio space is very well done with an AMAZING view of the water, docks and terrain of the area including just a glimpse of the Pictured Rocks. Tracey's Restaurant is definitely a must if you are visiting Munising but reservations are recommended as the interior seating is limited and seemed to fill up very quickly when we visited. We were lucky that the weather allowed us a seat on the patio the first night and we had made reservations for the next night. They have a dining room, bar and patio seating in different areas of the common spaces which makes for an interesting layout but is aesthetically pleasing overall. The food is very good but the prices are a little high and they couldn't make a strawberry margarita. For our entire visit we came across several employees including the front desk attendants, servers and housekeeping staff who were nothing but pleasant and accommodating. There was a personalized hand written post card waiting for us when we arrived in our room and it was super cheesy but I actually really liked it. Andy from the front desk was super nice and gave us a ton of pointers on things to do, where to shop and sights to see and even joined us for a beer after he was done working for the day. The Roam Inn is slightly more expensive than the majority of places to stay in Munising but not by much and it is completely worth it. The hotel was quiet at night, new, clean, has friendly staff with a great restaurant only steps from your room. I would 100% recommend staying at the Roam Inn for your next visit to Munising.

    Down to earth vibe of the North Woods, Roam Inn adds high class and "first class" service, facilities and food. Stayed in room 15 with a balcony facing East, got up early to watch the sun rise. Worth it! Had dinner here even though there are many good choices nearby, the food here compares to great restaurants in Chicago (where I'm from). The staff here are wonderful, kind and helpful.

That's the only semi-negative thing I will say about this place, The hotel is nice, the workers were nicer, the rooms were clean and the halls were quiet. The continental breakfast was pretty solid too. Bananas (finally! after 9 days in Michigan hotels, I was beginning to think there was a law against them) mini omelets, bagels, muffins, cinnamon rolls, turkey sausage and a pancake machine. The real star of this hotel is the back patio view. Sitting on their deck enjoying the views of Lake Superior while having a cold beverage is pretty amazing. The rooms with lake views have their own balconies or you can be a cheap ass like me and share the patio with the others.

We found it to be a good spot to sit and eat food from town. The morning breakfast was busy both mornings. The staff did a good job keeping the coffee full and the food stocked. It was a nice money saver to not need to go out for breakfast in the morning. We opted for the cheaper room facing the parking lot. If I stayed here again, I would spring for a bay-side (Lakeview) room. We had a beautiful and bright sunrise over the bay. The staff was friendly.

Had a frig and microwave but lacking typical amenities like iron, ironing board, alarm clock and outlets. Literally one outlet available and none by the bed.

When checking out the next morning, there was a bedbug on a pillow. I was very discreet as I went to the front desk to let them know. It had already been a crappy morning because, unbeknownst to me, they had been without water for a week up until the day before our stay, their complimentary breakfast had no coffee, no juice, no meats or eggs, the waffle maker was broken, and though they also ran the attached convince store they wouldn't let you get that coffee without paying for it. The front desk person told a housekeeper of our situation then said they were calling the manager. After waiting half an hour because we were told the manager was on her way, we had to leave to make our next reservation. I made sure they had my contact info and was assured I'd be called. 7 hours later I called the lodge back and was told the manager, Amy, had left for the day. And that they didn't find anything else so she didn't know what management had decided about it. I asked to be called the next day and again nothing. So we went about our vacation. After returning to work from vacation I called the Sault Tribe in the U.P. who own the lodge. I was transferred to a woman named Jennifer and she listened to my situation. Then told me she was the wrong person to talk to and that I should be talking to Dan Doyle. She said she was going to email him about what I told her and CC me on that email. Never happened. It is now another week later and I called Dan Doyle to see what was going on. Had to leave a voicemail. It's been 3 days and nothing. Today I called the LMAS Health Department who is over that county. That lady said they can't do anything about bedbugs and I have to contact the owner Ok... soooooo.... the lodge basically said they didn't find any other bugs which likely means they didn't call an exterminator and just turned the room over. The management and owners don't seem to care and now neither does the health department. Mind you, I didn't ask for anything. Not a discount or refund. Nothing but to be contacted by management. They could have lied to me and said they fumigated the room, how would I know? But at least they would have appeared to give a shit. I will still file a complaint with the health department and BBB in Michigan so there is a paper trail and my conscious is clear. I just don't want any to get sick or take home bedbugs!!
