When we take the motorcycle we like to have a parking spot right in front of the room with private entrance and no hallway. This is why we booked here. The room was ok… could have been cleaned better but it’s probably more in need of new flooring than cleaning. It was outdated but still quaint. But it is literally right on the water. Like the water was 30 feet from our window. Gorgeous, serene, and quiet. The girl at the front desk was adorable and super helpful and the landscaper was also super helpful and accommodating. He moved the picnic table right to our door so we could play cards at night while enjoying the water. There is also a fire pit and beach chairs right down in the beach. We did have a super weird guy staying next to us who was definitely a bit sketchy, but although he was annoying he was mostly harmless. We will absolutely stay here again, way prettier than mackinaw city. And the Mexican restaurant that the girl recommended when we checked in was only a two block walk and was delicious.

The rooms could be cleaner, plenty of dust and dirty floors. They came and redid the floor when we asked. Nice pool.

Cheaper than most but for good reasons.
We stayed in room 19, just feet from the Hampton Inn's massive new hotel which dominates your view. Construction workers with nothing better to do than party have taken over this place. They seemed to have made friends with other transient workers who took over the beach area and were drinking and smoking weed until after midnight on a weeknight, then they stumbled into work at 7:00 am to work on the hotel. When the work day started we had a steady stream of workers walking, talking just feet from your room. The window in the bathroom had a piece of plexiglass scotch taped over the broken glass and screen is still cut from a previous break in . Floor was gritty from all the sand and the furniture looks like something you might see laying along an old country road. The woman at the front desk wasnicee but she leaves early, not that anyone cares about public intoxication here. This place needs to be torn down and sold for a parking lot for the Hampton Inn which will be spectacular. I wouldn't recommend this place for travelers.

Motel stay
Good little place on the water. Fireplace outside and a place to sit. Not too expensive. Safe. Like most of the hotels/motels in the area, everything is deteriorating and not being kept up. The staff was excellent and very responsive. She called to see what time we were coming and had everything ready.

Needs thorough upgrade
Hotel very old and poorly kept. Room smelled very musty on entering. Bathroom was tiny with very old fixtures and a cracked squishy toilet seat. Window unit air conditioner with gaps on top,.side and bottom to the outside, not a proper fit for the window. The dwsk pwrson was nice and the mattress was the only redeeming factor.

Sometimes an old motel is just an old motel, it tried to be a neat place, and the overall room cleanliness was ok It would have been way more acceptable for $90 a night but for $140 I'm not so sure....
