We liked that it was a block off Lake Superior. Even though it was old,, we didn’t mind that. But the carpet was dirty and torn, only HOT water n the shower, the bed was hard but the bedding was clean!!!!

This is a low budget place to stay and fits the bill for that. Rooms are outdated and falling apart (literally-the ceiling tiles look like they could come down on the bed at any time). Room was clean. Staff next door was very unpleasant and wouldn’t even look up from their personal phone call to ask if we needed help. For the area it’s one of the cheaper options if you just need a place to stay for the night.

The room seemed clean but room deodorizer spray was a little overwhelming. And they missed the microwave. Some one had blew up something in there. Honest mistake I guess but makes me wonder what else they missed. Extremely friendly employees at the store for checking and purchases.

It is close to Munising/ Pictured Rocks, just a short scenic drive away on M28. It is a short walk to Au Train beach on Lake Superior. The carry-out pizza restaurant Northwoods across the street has delicious pizza. The grocery store next to this motel has delicious meat pasties.

I loved how friendly and helpful the staff was. They accommodated our request for extra late entry with no problem. Worked out perfectly for our purpose. However looking for a place to stay for a few days, might want to find something with more comfortable beds. Otherwise cute little space.

A great economical choice for a night or two

We were fairly happy. The only down side was the walls are so thin you can hear the neighbors conversation and the TVs we laughably tiny. Beyond that it was clean and everything worked. The staff in the store was outstanding...every one of them. We stayed 2 night and would not hesitate to stay again. The minor inconveniences are more than a fair trade off for the price.

This is the type of property I would have expected in the UP in the 1950s. Unfortunately it has never moved on or been updated. It does have all the basics and sufficed for one night's stay in a convenient location.
