The in was just lovely... All of the in room amenities you would need. The decor was fresh and modern and comfortable. The staff was able to quickly accommodate our spur of the moment after hours booking, friendly and warm folk. Lakeshore inn is a great choice for overnight or longer Empire MI is a tiny town and only has a few dining options in the Fall/Winter but we did find a nice place for dinner.

We discovered that the main floor room had walls and ceiling that well NOT well insulated. It was very noising during the hour of rest. The bed was horribly uncomfortable. The ice machine was located across the street at their newer building. At $450.00 for the two nights we expected much more. I would NOT recommend this to others or book another stay. We should have requested a partial refund.

The room and property were nice enough. The bed was very comfortable. Good location to explore dunes and Leelanau. Would give higher rating but was disappointed in service. The bed was not made for the entire 4 day stay and had to request towels after 2nd day. Resupplied the coffee but not the toiletries so bring you own shampoo…also GPS does not take you to office area, you will need to go to other side of gas station.

Told at time of booking that payment would be taken at check in only ( not in advance) turns out … they ran my card before I even arrived/ checked in. Not understanding why I could t just pay on the app at time of booking. Very inconvenient and unsafe use of my credit card information.

Wonderful experience! Everything was very clean and the space was comfortable. The design utilized the space well, offering amenities like a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker that allowed us to fix some simple meals in the room. Everything was updated and the beds were very comfortable, which was important to me as I have back issues. Everyone we dealt with was so friendly and helpful. I look forward to our next stay!

It was a comfortable and clean hotel and very convenient to anywhere we wanted to go. My only complaints would be that it is 2 buildings that are a good 2 blocks apart with a busy road and a gas station between the 2. The only ice machine is in the other building, so you have to drive to get ice. Also, checking in can be a little confusing, due to it being at the one building. They try to explain it, but it's a rather odd setup. Also, it was difficult to find a local channel and no guide. But really, it was a comfortable stay and I would stay again.

Comfortable bed. We stayed in the older hotel and if you wanted ice you had to go about a block away to the newer hotel to get it 😧. The price was ridiculously high for what I would say was a very nice 2 star hotel.

I booked this place on expedia and it was not what I wanted. The room that I had booked had a jacuzzi and snack bar. This place did not. I would never pay $1380 CAD for a place that was a step up from a motel for 3 nights. It was pretty clean, paper thing walls to the point where my partner thought I was making noise in the shower, when it was really someone walking down the stairs from above us. (we had the end unit). Not worth the price, but for half the price I would stay there again. Very convenient to the beach and food spots.

New clean simple traditional motel. No views, next to a clean new gas station. Again, nice, adequate but mundane.

AC did not work properly. Bathroom door was warped and would not close. Pictures on webpage were deceptive about views. Very few places to eat. The motel should provide a continental breakfast for the price they charge

Never talked to a person at this property as we got in late and left early. They didn’t come and clean our room during the day either but I wondered if we needed to hang our tag on the door to get it. The address isn’t exactly right for the property- it may be across the street between the gas station and the Sleeping Bear Dunes Welcome Center

Great lodge, clean and new however, the walls are paper thin and the white noise machine on the nightstand tells me that the owners know it’s really a problem.Was kept awake first by the loud tv and talking and then by loud snoring till 3:30 am. it WAS HORRIble the guy was sputtering and choking and coughing All night. Wouldn’t stay here again unless other rooms next to me were empty ! Too bad because it was so close to the dunes!

We had a lovely stay here. The only thing it was too short! Empire is a darling little town and this stay checks all the boxes. Short walk to everything in town and just a mile to the beach. Do yourself a favor and catch a sunset. Don’t hesitate to book your stay.
