Stayed two nights then added a 3rd. Convenient location if traveling in any direction. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Took advantage of the pool and hot tub. Motel is right on the water and they had a bonfire each night.. Since we purchased the lower priced rooms, we were over the kitchen which had some noise in the morning but not intrusive. I'm sure the rooms in the back of the property at lakeshore were just as good or better! Had an updated TV as well.

Loved our stay here. Nice staff. Comfortable room. Great fire on the beach with s’mores. Good breakfast. Room was great, but if I am being nit picky- the paint needed touch up where they filled in holes from a picture, and the screen door had a hole. This did not bother us…we would go back.

Everything was great, except the hair dryer didn’t work and there was no soap at the sink. Windows going up the stairs were very dirty and full of spiders. All easy fixes for management.

Nice room. Be advised there is no elevator so guests on the second floor must carry luggage up stairs. The breakfast was poor and the coffee weak. The decaf side of the machine was not working.

Staff was never available to answer phone. We booked two King rooms, both were Queen bed rooms. Holes in shower curtain & holes in curtains at the slider. Lightbulb was burned out by bedside. Water pressure was low, water never got hot. Sheets and pillowcases were cheap & bed mattresses were uncomfortable. TV would keep going off periodically. Room was clean and staff was pleasant at check in. Lakeview was nice. But would not stay here again.

We had a nice stay at this cute motel. The view was great and we loved the fire pits and s'mores at night. The hotel was clean. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a night. Positive - the bed was super comfortable. Negative - the bath towels need to be replaced. Overall a great stay and I would recommend this property.

This was a delightful little motel overlooking Lake Huron and the bridge. The room was great and the nightly fire on the beach outside our room (complete with S’mores) was awesome. Great place to stay.

Family-owned motel with great, friendly service and right on the Lake Huron. They really cared about you enjoying your stay. This was our first visit, but I got the feeling that many folks staying there were repeat customers. The location is perfect for viewing the Mackinaw Bridge and getting around, yet felt private. The have a small sand beach in which they have campfires every night and pass out s'mores. We really enjoyed our balcony too! I would recommend this motel.

Very friendly check in experience. It appears this is a very family friendly place and staff is attentive to making this happen. Room and bathroom are small, but met our basic needs. The location is slightly outside of town making walking along the highway dangerous if you elect to leave your car. There are lots of choices in the area and this is a good choice.

It was a great stay for a one night stop. We were in a cross county trip and based on reviews and photos, we stayed here. And they were not to disappoint! Our room was on the upper level, there are no stairs and the room was cozy. Beautiful outside with the hydrangeas in full bloom make photo taking of the family great. Nice waterfront and it had snores and activities, great staff. Pool and breakfast was nice!

The room provided a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere, with a particularly nice bed that contributed to a restful experience. However, the bathroom was somewhat cramped, and the proximity of the door to the toilet made it challenging to maneuver. We noticed that the bath towels were not as clean as we would have preferred, prompting us to use our own instead. On a positive note, the view from the room was stunning, offering a picturesque landscape. Unfortunately, the beach left much to be desired; it was littered with broken glass and the water was murky, which deterred me from swimming despite my initial enthusiasm. Additionally, the presence of numerous ducks and seagulls added to the overall unkempt appearance of the area. In summary, while the hotel/motel had its merits, it ultimately fell short of expectations.

The place is a little bit run down, but my room was clean and I had a good sleep here. Breakfast was very crowded- peak summer season. They did not offer water to drink at breakfast which bothered me- only orange or cranberry juice. The setting is lovely- on the beach- and the snores are a fun touch for the kids.

I booked this hotel because it had been given so many stars online and I wanted a wonderful room for my kids and I. Honestly, it was mediocre at best and quite disappointing. The bathroom was so out dated and so tiny that you couldn’t even turn around in it. You have to enter all the way into the bathroom before you could even attempt to shut the door and the door didn’t even close all the way- it was broken. The sink had a soap dispenser that belongs in a public bathroom and not something that you should see in a hotel room. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the fire pits at night were a wonderful touch. We most likely wouldn’t stay at this property again but fine for someone that doesn’t want any frills and doesn’t mind the bare minimums.

Property was very nice along with the staff. The room was clean with plenty of towels and extra bedding.We had to move our reservation 2 weeks out and we ended up paying extra for our room due to the holiday, which I understand. There were small things we did not care for, our sink did not drain well, the tv shut off every time the AC or the fridge came on, the handle on the screen door to the balcony was broken making it difficult to open and we could not keep our balcony door open at night to listen to the water due to bon fire smoke blowing into our room. They do bon fires and s'more's on the beach for guests which is wonderful, the smoke just gets pushed toward the building due to the lake. Overall our stay was great minus those small things.

The inn was super cute and conveniently located to the ferry, shops and restaurants. The room was clean but smelled a bit musty. That is only complaint. Great view of the lake and loved the little beach

We loved our stay here! The room was very clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable and the room was very quiet. Breakfast was delicious! The kids loved the waffles and I enjoyed the fresh fruit, biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs. Each night we enjoyed a nice fire on the beach with fresh s’mores and excellent views of the bridge. The price was perfect too!
