Good Location But Not Nice

Pros: Good location right off the highway - about 10 miles to Munising. Good communication before visit and check in was easy. Cons: The carpeting was thin and torn, the water smelled, one of the beds was very hard and squeaked, the tv was tiny and the bathroom was so small that I had to squeeze by the shower to get to the toilet.

Good enough

Room was clean, but carpet was old and ripped, and overall, would not have stayed here if I saw it in advance. Had to check in a gas station next door, they seemed confused by the process. Was good enough for a one night stay, but glad to be out the next morning.

Disappointed!!!

We didn’t get in till 10 and they had to leave the key in the laundry room. It was very creepy, old furniture, rust stains in the sink, white towels that were so disgusting we didn’t even shower. Bed was okay. Broken levalors where we had to tape napkins up to have privacy. Curtains old and dingy. Carpet torn and ragged. I would have cancelled and got my money back but it was so late and we were so tired.!!

We liked that it was a block off Lake Superior. Even though it was old,, we didn’t mind that. But the carpet was dirty and torn, only HOT water n the shower, the bed was hard but the bedding was clean!!!!

Don't believe ANY good reviews---it's bad.

Would rate 0 of 10 stars. Outdated, broken down, not clean. I'm fine with an older place or a 2 star facility if it's clean. The mismatched towels might have been laundered but they definately were stained. Water from tap in the room was literally brown. Air conditioner was so dirty we opted not to turn it on--luckily we had a small fan of our own we used. The sheets were clean and no bed bugs plus we had pre-paid, so we stayed. This was the worse hotel/motel we have ever stayed at.

Deceptive advertising. Very dirty, non potable water , just mud & dirt as you walk in room. Shower so small you can barely fit in. Mattress old and horrible, dirty flat, old pillows. Chair in room was so dirty ! Lot's of better places to stay for similair pricing.
