Cute place to stay for that 1950s roadtrip motel experience. Very nice place to stay, right in the middle of sleeping bear dunes national lakeshore area. Very clean accommodations, convenient check-in process. Traveling with my pet was very nice and convenient to stay here.

This place was perfect for a night on our way to backpack in north Manitou, but I would consider it for a multi night stay exploring sleeping bear dunes. Empire is cute and has some dining options. There is also a small beach and sitting area on the lake for the resort. Just a tiny walk away for the room. Kitchenete and fridge, ice machine. Everything you need. Shower is very small and air conditioner loud but not a big deal for us.

We appreciated the ease of check in. Our room was VERY clean and comfortable, homey feel. By comparison to other places, I wished the beds were a bit softer, but loved the cool cotton sheets. Loved access to the kayaks and canoe down at the end of the street. Loved the close proximity to Sleeping Bear Lakeshore and Glen Arbor.

Maple Lane is the perfect place for people who want to do lakeside rustic cabin rentals but are too bougie for that. It is quaint and quiet with an “old world” feel while also having easy lake access and a very walkable neighborhood. I thought I would feel weird about not having staff on site but it actually added to the camping adjacent feel. We loved our time here!

We used the room for sleeping only so it does the job. The motel is very very close to Glen Lake which was the draw for us. It is old and could use updating. They don't offer in stay cleaning so that wasn't ideal. They do have a nice backyard area with a fire pit and games.

Comfortable bed, worked for exactly what we wanted - a place to lay our head after spending all day at the lake. Location is ideal for that.

We really enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect for us. We really appreciated how the grounds were well kept and all of the nice flowers that were planted. The kayaks on the lake were so fun. And the lake being just a short walk away was really convenient. Having the fire pit and volleyball court were also nice. Everyone was super friendly whenever we saw them. And we loved how quiet the area was. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend.

Our room was clean and kept up well, and it had a small kitchenette that allowed us to bring our own food and cook dinner there. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was only minutes from many of the spots we wanted to visit at Sleeping Bear Dunes. We are already looking forward to returning next year!

Quiet spot. Older building and furniture but the bedding looked newer and it was clean. Never interacted with any staff other than receiving a text that said where to find a key. Easy check-in and out, but missed the human hospitality.

I am rating this as average as it is about what you expect for a value-priced, older property in a prime tourist area (Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes). On the plus side, it was clean and looked to have been recently refreshed (bedding, paint, etc). The beds were comfortable. And the owners/manager have done some things to make the place more functional (the addition of a shelf and hook in the small bathroom, for example). It is also very convenient to lots of tourist areas. The biggest negative, in my opinion, was that the shower is quite small. Other negatives include needing to call during limited hours for ANY room maintenance as none is done automatically, regardless of the length of your stay and the parking situation which can be inconvenient when the facility is full. The advertisement of a "private beach" is also very misleading. It's basically a bench and sandbox down the road. If you just need a place to crash and clean up, this place is fine.

This is the kind of place you could stay several days. They had kayaks and paddle boards available to use. The lake is beautiful and would be great to enjoy for a longer than a night stay. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet getaway. The area in town kind of closes up early, so don't expect too much of a nightlife.

Very nice management, changed my room for me because I needed accessibility. Clean room. Very quiet. The mattresses are standard hotel mattresses, a bit firm for my personal tastes, but I slept fine. I’d only note that there aren’t enough electrical sockets around the bed to accommodate CPap and all the electronic gizmos we have these days. I will gladly stay there again.
