This is an older, well maintained motel. No glitz - but clean, comfortable and affordable. We stayed one night on a quick trip north and found it to be a great value with our limited time. The check-in was smooth and very helpful. Would definitely stay again if travels take me to Grand Rapids.

The desk clerk/owner was super friendly and helpful when I checked in. The room was what you would expect from a hundred dollar a night motel. It was clean and comfortable and there was a full-sized fridge. My room looked out over the lake and the view was awesome. I would definitely stay here again. And the bar/steakhouse next door was perfect for a late dinner.

I have stayed at this hotel several times before. The rooms are always clean and maintained in great working order. The check in process was easy and friendly. I appreciated the bag of ice daily for my cooler. Regular size refrigerator is an amazing plus for the room. I was able to bring salads from home that stayed cooled. Huge plus. The room was quiet and faced the lake.

The motel reminded me a little of the motels from the 1950. My room was clean and nicely decorated. It had a coffee maker, a microwave, and a refrigerator that was larger than I expected. I was able to park right in front of the door to my room, which made moving my luggage easy. The room rates were reasonable compared with other motels in the area. They do not provide breakfast but there is a very nice restaurant next door that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with good food at reasonable prices.
