Solid choice for an inexpensive stop over.
Good reasonably priced option for Labor Day. Room was clean, comfortable. Only issue was very low water pressure in the shower, but it was usable, although almost felt like water was trickling out. Quick check in/out. Good budget option for one night.

Not modern/updated but very clean and quiet place to stay- which fit our needs and we would stay again. The concierge was also very kind and accommodating to our late check in.

A nice surprise based on the price!
I was very pleased with the hotel. Based on the price I didn’t think it would be as nice as it was. It was clean and comfortable without any bad smells! I would definitely stay there again.

Good place to stay on a budget
For a place to stay on a budget it was good.The room was clean ,though needs some updating. The beds were worn out 1 you could feel the springs. Continental breakfast was pretty good.The pool was clean but chilly.

Purchase of ferry tickets
When we checked in, the woman at the reception told us that the ferry tickets to Mackinac Island included priority boarding, so we purchased them. However, it turned out that priority boarding was not actually included.

Room was very clean but a little dated. Everything worked. All the outlets are taken up by motel stuff. Had to unplug coffee maker to charge phones. The room was comfortable.

Terrible decision
This was our worst stay in a hotel ever. The hotel is not in good condition and needs renovation ASAP. Breakfast was bad and they use coffee that makes us sick.

You get what you pay for. It’s a poor condition motel. The wall by the shower was moving. The table in our room was falling apart .
So it was a ok motel just for sleeping and to clean up. They are serving free breakfast everymorning but not the healthiest . Staff was friendly !

The room took several hours to actually be ready after check-in time. We had to get ready for a wedding, so was a major inconvenience to be told our room would not be ready without being cleaned/door opened for several hours. Would absolutely not stay again.

The staff was absolutely phenomenal! The property however sure needs some work. Had to let the hot water run for 9 minutes before it got hot usually. Also hardly any water pressure.
