Very clean and comfortable. Office is charming and grounds are well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful. It has a welcoming homey, cozy “up north” vibe. It looked newly updated. We were very happy the TV service covered the Detroit Tigers game!

The room and bathroom were very clean and well stocked with clean linens. The mattress appeared to be newer and was very comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the water pressure was good. This facility is an older motor lodge (probably built in the 1960s), it is very well maintained for an older property. I would have given a higher level, if my unit had a deadbolt lock and a peephole on the entry door. This stay checked all of the things I needed in an overnight stay.
