Just what I needed for this trip. I was in need of a clean, quiet and basic motel room. This hit all the buttons and was perfect. Would stay again.

We were initially concerned after reading several negative Google reviews and had certain expectations about the service. However, we were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The rooms were neat, clean, and well-equipped with amenities, and the overall service was good. Great job by the team.

The check in area/staff is common for few hotels together, thunderbird, Great lakes and Budget Inn, I believe. For multi-night stay, the room service was on demand only. Good - In small room, they made a small refrigerator, microwave, iron fit in. Not so good - Toilets, Horrible TV size, maybe 21" Monitor or so, Bad - Pools were not thoroughly cleaned, just okay. Also this is nothing negative but there is no breakfast option. But if this place is booked for primarily a place holder / sleep over to go to Macinac Island, then its okay.

The location of this property was great for us as we didn’t want to be in town, and it was a super quick walk to the ferry to go to the island. There is great lake viewing from your room, although it Is not completely unobstructed. The staff were pleasant upon check-in and departure. At the time we were there, we had to check in at the hotel next door. Not a problem as they had signs, and it was right there. The room was clean enough and the linens were sufficient. Extra shampoo and conditioner were available at the front desk upon request. Please note that there are no elevators. As far as amenities, there were none that I am aware of. The outdoor pool was not filled and breakfast was not provided. I did note upon checkout that discounted ferry tickets are available at the front desk, but I’m unsure of the amount of savings. We would stay here again.

Easy check-in, though not being able to check in until 4pm was unfortunate. Staff was mostly friendly and helpful. Room was clean but towels had stains on them but clearly washed/clean. Not very wheelchair friendly/accessible but we made due. Parking available right outside out room was nice. The door was missing the latch which was really odd and hopefully only temporary and not that way in every room. Room 110.

The building is old. Our room was large. The beds were ok.. the t.v. and cable signal was bad. We had to unplug the server a few times to get signal back and the t.v. was fuzzy. The lamps were in bad shape and old. The carpet was horrible. I never went bare foot and I instructed my husband and daughter to do the same. It smelled of over powering cleaning product and urine so much that we had to keep our window open the entire time. The shower curtain was so long that a good 6 inches of it layed in the tub while showering and it would not stay shut because it was on a curved downward rod which made the corners slide down to the middle. The water pressure was painfully strong. My husband and daughter bought swim suits from a walmart to go swimming and that lasted about 10 mins because she was terrified of all the spiders floating down from the ceiling of the enclosed pool and landing in the water. My husband said there were AT LEAST 15 to 20 that he tried scooping out just in the corner of the pool he was in. Front desk was super nice, but we had to check into the property next door which made me feel a bit weary that we were on some abandoned second thought property. Housekeeping was very kind also. It was $144 plus $25 for my dog. So it did what it needed for the 2 nights we were visiting my mom, who is a local. I chose this hotel simply because a different one that had higher stars had bed bugs earlier in the season. This one, after close inspection, DID NOT.
