Amenities didn’t work in the room. The steps to the room are too high had to jump down when leaving room. View from room was great, but the walking area wasn’t picked up and the people around were quite noisey. People were smoking right outside of room so that was coming into the room. However, it is closer to walking distance into town and a good price.

The view

Was a great view of the lake, rooms are old school charm but efficient quiet walls, had issues at check-in & then was double charged but taken care with phone call to property. Price was great for the city & pet friendly

I question the sincerity of the high customer reviews after staying at this motel. In my initial room, the AC unit wasn’t working. They gave us a new room. Moved all our bags to realize that the main light wasn’t working. They moved us to a 3rd room. We moved our bags and left for dinner. We came back after dark to see a cloud of flies/insects on our door and on the light in front of our door. We knew the room would be filled with flies after opening the door. No other doors were like this. I talked to the receptionist and she tried to downplay the issue inferring that all rooms were like this. I asked her to come and look. She opted to move us to a forth room instead so we moved our bags once again. As luck would have it, the AC in the 4th room was not working. At that point, we decided to cut our losses and keep the 4th room. Overall, the rooms were very dated and had an unpleasant odor- I can still taste it. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way. Bathrooms are ancient showers very small. They have a nice fire pit in the back on the water but I was told when checking in that they didn’t have any wood to burn. I would have to supply my own wood. Unfortunate because that was the main selling point for this motel. Other than my car, there were only 3 other cars at the hotel when we went to bed and woke up (early). After this visit, I understand the lack of visitors. Not recommended at all. Stay away.

I’ve stayed in the past for the car show, it was the same as always. Nothing out of this world but it absolutely gets the job done. But for low riding vehicles the driveway is tricky, though that is really my only complaint.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend this motel to anyone! No lightning at night and the guy that checked us in said that he was closing the office and then stated we’d have to walk to the Baymont if we needed anything, which essentially meant “Good luck, try not to die” pics display everything you need to know about their “premium” room.

We had to wait for someone to check us in. When we got to the room it was still dirty. Came back later, Tv didn’t work . Room was discussing . Afraid to take my shoes off. Shower looked like something in a campground. Bed was comfortable, looks like they are trying to up date, but they should definitely wait till they are done. We were in room 10. Pretty scary, floors weren’t swept, spiders and cob webs in the bathroom! Young gentleman that checked us in was nice! Wouldn’t have stayed a second night if it was free!

No one at the front desk. You had to walk to the next hotel which us owned by the same family We were the only people staying in the whole building. The second day, another couple checked in and they gave them our room even though our stay with them wasn't over, yet.

So, this is a very old property. That said, it is very well-maintained. I am of the mindset why not stay in a room that has knotty pine walls and mid Century modern furniture than the usual cookie cutter hotel. Parking is directly in front of your room door. It is 20 feet to walk to the lake front. It is a very nice walk up and down the lakeshore. There are geese and other water birds fishing in the morning, people with their dogs running along the shallows. Just the sort of vibe I want an old Lake town. Of note, it is much easier to get on the ferries in St. Ignace than Mackinaw City.

Very dated property in need of a deep cleaning. Room wasn't ready when we arrived at 3:00pm check in time. We were given a second room and discovered after unloading that cable tv wasn't working. Staff tried to get it working to no avail and then called another person who wasn't working only to be reminded that cable service wasn't working in any room on that side of the property. We were then given a room on the other side of the property. Bumped the a/c cover and it came off exposing a filter that looked like a wool mat it was so dirty. Wiped something off the floor and discovered the floor was literally black with dirt. Normally we would have left after the second room but Stacy was so very nice. She kept apologizing for the problems and tried so hard to accommodate us. The only redeeming quality of this motel was Stacy and the property owners should be thankful they have such a nice employee. We will not return and cannot recommend it.

Had a king size bed, sheets did not fit. They came off, with you just sitting down. Bathroom was small and door was hard to open and close. Thought I was going to be locked in the bathroom. But veiw was good. And the room was rustic cute.

The owner/manager was so helpful when we booked late in the day and arrived at 9:30pm. It was so wonderfully convenient after such a long ride. The room was so welcoming ☺ and I absolutely loved the decor! The ceiling is so cool.The beds were very comfortable. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely be back.
