Very nice little motel. After reading some comments I was a little bit worried about the fact that the hotel would be a outdated. Don't worry about that, the stuff is very caring, it is very very clean and is in good shape.

Not impressed

A very old property that could use a renovation. The bed was hard as a rock and the bathroom fixtures had trouble functioning. Clean enough and very basic, but I don’t think that I would stay again.

Very clean and and all basic amenities (fridge, microwave and Keurig). Very close to ferries to Mackinac Island and they allowed us to remain parked in the lot. Only downside was the water only was tepid even after being run for a long time.

Alex was a tremendous help. She worked to get me a refund/cancel of a double booking. (still waiting to see this) Found that we had no hot water and upgraded us to a room that did. It was a lovely stay, after a rocky start.

UP time

Good place for adults. TAKE YOUR KIDS TO GREAT WOLF LODGE. If you need to sleep mak esure you get the second floor. We had a a kid above us that was stomping around all night. Nice.room. only complaint was that they must have had a fresh hatching of spiders. Comfortable bed and pillows. Clean shower and tall people fit just fine.

A one night stay on a road trip with friends. It was the perfect location to walk down the road to have supper and close to the ferry for Mackinac Island. It is an older hotel but it was clean and comfortable and we would stay again.
