“The beds are so comfy! My husband said we need to find out what type of mattress they use. Very clean and a reasonable price.”
“Really an awesome little motel, I was just stopping for one night while traveling but I could definitely see using this for a longer stay as well.”
“The cost felt high for an old-school (though well-cared-for) roadside motel. But that's peak season in northern Michigan.”
“The fire alarm triggered twice. Very loud. Somebody was supposed to come to check but nobody showed up.”
“Very spacious, clean, cute and quiet.”
