Very nice hotel at a great rate. Check in was a breeze and desk very helpful, Room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend

Very nice motel. Recent renovation. Sit outside and enjoy the evening.

The Wayside Motel is a great place if you remember the motels of the 60's and 70's. The place is so clean. Another retro thing is the fact that housekeeping visits daily, which is exceedingly rare in today's hotel/motel market. This is my second stay here, and I don't think it'll be my last!

Great location, very clean, bathroom recently updated

Great location with spacious rooms. The rooms are clean and comfortable.

A nice clean and comfortable place to stay and close to attractions..

This is a comfortable motel. It is on the main road into St. Ignace and close to restaurants. It is also within walking distance to the ferry boats to Mackinac Island. The rooms are spacious and clean. The rooms also have internet and cable television. I would definitely stay here again.

The room was clean. The bed was comfy. The service was friendly. The only issue was there was a constant sound coming from the heater that kept us awake most of the night. We didn’t complain, just figuring it’s because of how old the place is. Not too bad of a musty smell…had the windows open to air it out for couple hours before sleeping. Seemed to help.

Very clean and good price!

Nice family run motel. Friendly and helpful. Great location to ferry. No frills but very comfortable and good value.

Clean comfortable hotel w easy access from hwy. Checkin was a breeze and the staff was very friendly & welcoming. They even called to let me know I left something behind! Thank you!

The room was super clean and updated. One of the best roadside motels you will find. I would definitely stay here again.

Easy to get to everything, comfortable beds!!

We will stay again!! The room was so clean, the beds were comfortable, perfect location!! Book this hotel; you won't be disappointed!!

Very nice room for the price. Very clean, comfortable room.

Clean

Good for the price

You won't be sorry choosing this motel. The room was cleaned daily; hot shower, comfortable bed, microwave and small refrigerator were more then adequate, close to downtown ferries and eateries. Do yourself a favor: stay here. Thank you.

Great stay here! We will be back!

Very clean & simple "Mom & Pop" motel.

Nice, clean, quiet property close to restaurants and ferries. Super nice people. Would stay again.

This motel was above expectations. Very clean. Easy check in. Convenient to town. Parking in front of each unit. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Very nice old motel. Very friendly staff and convenient for ferry to Mackinac island

The place was extremely clean and very nice overall.

Manager very helpful

Check in was great. Clean old school motel 😀

I booked this motel due to the many positive reviews I read. Reviews are accurate!!!! Management was very friendly and recommendations that we asked for were right on!!! Check-In was expeditious. Cleanliness of rooms was immaculate!!! Refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, small kitchen table with chairs....everything we could have wanted, clean and in great working condition. Bed was very comfortable. Thank You for a lovely stay :)

This was a older hotel but I knew that when I booked it. Everything was great. The hotel staff was friendly and it was very clean. It was convenient to check in and they also offered discount ferry ticket. We will be booking with Wayside again.

The property manager was excellent!! I was ill prepared and didn't reserve enough night for my trip. I just called up the front desk and added on another night. It was super easy! Plus, the manager noticed I was looking at the ferry schedule for Mackinaw Island, so he offered cheaper ferry tickets and shuttle service that picks up right in the hotel parking lot! I was traveling with my 2 kids and their bedtime is earlier than mine but if I keep a light on they won't fall asleep. Well, this property has 2 seats outside the room door with a light. This was absolutely perfect for me to sit outside the room and read my book until I became tired. The only thing I consider being a negative was that the vending machine was out of order at the time. Yes, the office did have the drinks that would have been supplied by the vending machine, so it wasn't that bad.

The room was very clean. Had all the basics except for an ironing board. Staff was friendly and helpful at check in. Slight odor in room, but everything was kept very clean.

The room we stayed in was very minimal but very clean and clean smelling. The negative things I noticed was the ceiling fan in the bathroom did not work well and the front doors all need to be painted. Other than some exterior work that needs to be done it was a great stay. The owner is working on remodel.

room could have used a good airing out. stale smell.
