10/10 Excellent

Check in was unique and presented a very good feeling of security. The property was very well maintained and inviting. I especially liked the new bathroom remodel. All of the amenities were geared toward pleasing the customer.
Phyllis, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was perfect for a quick place to stay on the way to our vacation. It was clean, has many updates. Easy to find, but not walkable distance to anything and is noisy as it is on the highway, although the room air conditioner drowned out the highway noise.
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This little roadside motel was truly a gem. So cute, comfortable and clean. Close to many attractions in the upper peninsula area. We are at a local place named Jack's that was delicious. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer. Would definitely stay here again if we get back that way.

Quick, easy, and cheap. We love this motel and they just refurbed some rooms. Great little offering on the highway with no bells and whistles.

The room was quaint and cozy. It was a comfortable stay. Lots of areas to walk and explore to enjoy the outdoors. I would book here again if I could. The first time I tried, they were full up, and now I know why.

Check in was very easy and friendly. Room was very clean and grounds were great for pet.
Connie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We booked 2 rooms, one of the rooms was not cleaned. Never came in any physical contact with staff, kind of weird, but called the phone number listed on the door and we were taken care of right away and were offended a clean room. Would like to see live staff though.
