Very friendly and helpful staff. The room and surroundings were immaculate. We appreciated the larger than standard refrigerator and the full size microwave oven was a nice bonus. Both were spotless inside and out. Thank you to everyone at the motel for giving us a "no problem" 4th of July weekend.

Management was really nice, we had a little trouble getting into Grand Rapids. I called because we wouldn’t arrive till after 10:30 pm I left a voicemail and they got back to me and said they’d leave a key by reception. Really appreciate the staff for taking care of us. Thank you

The night clerk was very nice. In the morning there was a gruff human at the desk. We were placed at the top of the stairs with a light shining in the window. The blinds could not be arranged to block the light from the fixture outside our door.

The room was clean and pretty. The shower/bathtub had a very slow drain. One of the staff members was willing to snake the drain for us but it did not help much. The property needs to do fix it. Mr. Marty at the front desk is so kind and helpful! He is very knowledgeable and welcoming. The continental breakfast is wonderful! Our room had a lovely table and chairs to sit at and enjoy breakfast.

This is a dog friendly hotel and unfortunately our room smelled like dirty dog. We are dog lovers but do not care for dog smell. Especially when we are paying almost $300 for the room. Staff were nice and helpful. Would not stay again.
