Hallway

All the rooms are renovated. Staff are friendly. Definitely recommend and will be staying here again

Sitting
Shunghilaska M.

Spent three nights here. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We were in room 139. The room could use some TLC as trim was coming off the baseboard and the screen door wouldn't close properly allowing bugs to come into the room when you wanted to open the door to air out the space. The shower could use a nonslip floor as it was slippery. The water coming out of the tap had that iron/sulfur smell and taste. Don't use the water to make coffee in the room coffee maker. Our balcony on the water view side was quiet and private. The view of the water was pleasant, complete with interesting waterfowl. There is a nice pool and exercise equipment. There seem to be three phases of this motel. The south end gives off 60's vibes, the middle (where our room was) kinda 80's and there's the new addition on the north side. The restaurant is really good. Bottom line, we had a very comfortable stay and would definitely stay again. Next time I'll try one of the free kayaks. The sunrises are spectacular.

We stayed in the new section of the building. It was really a well thought out room with a stunning view. Lots of table space, hooks, nice sized fridge with convenient blue light that acted as a nightlight for the bathroom area. Very clean. Our room was second floor lakeside with a balcony. We had a perfect view of the lake and summer sunrises. Could hear people above, but I always bring a sound machine/ use sound app because noise is a problem at most hotels. Coffee in room was tasty, and there is a coffee place with some food is on site. Staff was always professional and helpful. Unfortunately we didn't make it to the Freshwater Tavern as it didn't seem very young-kid friendly. Will be back here in the future. Highly recommend. Gladstone in general is an nice town to stay in with young kids. Beach and park are great, and the simple downtown main street has some gems, not to mention all access to nature the Upper Peninsula has to offer!

Location is nice,Hotel needs lots of fixing up and maintenance. The room was half way clean, sheets and linens where smelling of bleach. Shower was very dated with small tub.I had to duck into the shower where the shower head "pointed upright" was to my shoulder. Hopefully This Placed Will Be Rescued Soon It's A Great Location

This is a motel not a hotel... it is definitely not a 3-star but a 1-star or no more than 2. The advised photos were just lies. Only a few units that are remodeled and when we asked for it during an off season, non-weekend, and pandemic times when not a lot of people traveling, the unfriendly staff told us it was not available without even trying to check. The room was filthy, full of aged dirts, hairs at bathroom, bed, basically everywhere and lots of bugs. The room also stinks and everything just looks extremely old. I have never had such a terrible experience with almost any hotel I have ever stayed. Although I can't assume the remodeled room is necessarily nicer, but from the outside, the hallway looks much better than the non-remodeled ones. I will avoid this place at all cost. If there's one thing that's positive, I would say the food at the Freshwater Tavern on-site was decent so worth a try.

Friendly staff - both at check-in and housekeeping. Very nice location on Little Bay de Noc Lake Michigan. After spending the morning/afternoon on Mackinac Island, we ended up staying here at night. The hotel was certinally busy, but luckily at check in we were told they only had one room left...thank you...and for about $115 per night. Room was clean, had a very slight musty odor..but looked fairly nice. I turned the air on..it was loud upon starting up and i feared it would not cool the room but after a bit of time there was no doubt it worked just fine. Major gripe is that when taking a shower, the water temperature would fluctuate between ice cold to very warm...this would only last for a couple seconds. Also, the water pressure was low. Perhaps this is because the hotel was very busy. I recommend this hotel if in the area, try to get a lake view room if possible...such a wonderful location on the lake.

Pool view

This is a hidden gem! It is an older property but it's clean and they are keeping it up. The rooms are sound proof, not like other hotels where the noise in the halls or adjoining rooms keep you awake. There is a big, deep pool for the kids to swim in. The pool room is surrounded by glass so the adults have a beautiful view of the lake. There is also a nice patio area with a fountain overlooking the lake. The lounge is great and it's where we would have spent time if we did not have the kids with us. The restaurant has good food. The continental breakfast is served until 11 am! It has everything you would need from yogurt, cottage cheese, various cereals, eggs, various pastries and breads, hot waffle iron, juices, milk, and coffee. The only con: The shower head was not ideal and the water temp goes from warm to cold, warm to cold, but mostly stays cold.

Seafood fettuccine
Ava F.

Great food and service. Definitely recommend the seafood fettuccine! But the honey cinnamon butter for the bread had a little too much cinnamon. Overall amazing and smells amazing!

Holiday Inn Express Munising-Lakeview

Everything about the UP seems expensive and this Holiday Inn Express is no different. I paid…read more275.00 per night for a Thursday and Friday night stay in late August for a non-balcony room. 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 had a great stay at this Holiday Inn Express. The location is up the hill past downtown…read moreMunising (a 2 minute drive). The hotel is newer and clean. The bathroom was a good size. The hot water was good. Water pressure was fine. The room's heat was welcome on the cold evening. Past the lobby the Inn has a nice seating area for breakfast. 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.
