Great motel. Carla herself checked us in. Had a restaurant next door that burned part of the lobby, but still a great traditional motel.

I liked the convenience of location,,I had two kids to pickup and move on.
If you have dogs this is a great place to hang out,,
If you are a non dog owner you will not like it,
Reasonable price for short lay over

It's a small motor lodge and feels like a small motor lodge, but it's comfortable, has a great view, and is a worthwhile stop for weary travelers.

Every day one of the owners checked with us and offered their direct cell phone numbers in case of any concerns.
I have serious bad issues and we slept very comfortably in the queen bed. No frills but a fantastic value. We definitely will go again. Beautiful view on Lake Superior.

Carla was very pleasant and the overnight was great for just 1 person. Too tight if my wife had been with me. It needs more TLC and general upkeep. I congratulate the owners for keeping it going, though in a tough economy.
The next-door restaurant was closed, and none were right nearby.
The view facing east across the bay was gorgeous and the price was good.

Carla was nice and worked with us through some issues, though the facility had a lot to be desired. There is no longer a restaurant and it’s a lot more outdated (at least what’s leftover from the fire) than expected. Not a bad place, though it was not what we were expecting.

The place was old. Pockets doors on the bathroom. Bathroom sink is tilted and toilet is loose on the floor. Mattresses sag in the middle. Tv placed above small table tilted downward…watch your head getting up! Ouch, more than once we bumped our heads and back room has a definite dip!

We arrived late but there was no one to greet us. Key was attached to a board outside. The television worked horribly with only a few stations available. The room was clean but nothing special. The bed was comfortable.

The rooms were cleaned. The shower was missing the shower head. The wifi did not work for us, but password was provided. There is no front desk, our key & info was provided in an envelope on a bulletin board. The restaurant burned down a year ago, you have to go into town for food.

I would recommend Carla’s place to anyone traveling through the area. Carla her self checked my friend and i in late in the evening. She stayed to make sure our tv worked and told us some cool places near by to check out. The room was perfect for two people just needing a place to stay. Beautiful sunrise view, nice patio to enjoy coffee. Horse shoe and cornhole games in the yard. Refrigerator, coffee, and even a microwave.
What really stood out and what would bring us back, is how accommodating Carla was. We woke up to a flat tire in the morning and with it being on a weekend, no place around was able to help. Carla was understanding and told us to stay as long as we needed past check out untill we could get help to get us back on the road safely!

This reminded me of a dating service inhanced and not the same as the picture. There was no restaurant hasn't been in over a year. Remains of burned building still attached. There had been remodeling to our room that was all poorly done. The place in general was run down. It's a 50.00 motel for 109.00. Its sits right on the main highway so it's noisy. There is the cove in front of the motel but you can't get to it it's rocky. My total bill on line was 105.00 but I ended up being charged 109.00?

I understand that the motel has suffered from a fire in the past year, but the location was kind of desolate and it was the end of the season and I was the only customer staying at the motel. It really felt a little bit like a set up for a slasher movie. :-) The room was clean and it overall it was acceptable, but it really is dated to the 1960's or there about. The room was also pretty small, but it had two comfortable club chairs which is a huge plus in my opinion. The highway noise was a little bothersome but not much.

This motel was unkept and in bad need of repair. There was a tree laying on the back of the building with a 4x4 proping up the over hang. Our room smelled of wet dog. The room was dirty with hair stuck to the camper size (no joke on the size) bathroom wall, no bathroom door only a curtain. The bathroom window (inside of shower) didn't close completely. The toiltet was approximately 3 feet from the edge of the bed.The floor around the edges of the room needed vacuuming. Cob webs on the ceiling. Upholstered furniture was broken and filthy.
We would have stayed elsewhere if another was available within our budget and in the Keeweenaw.
