Excellent

This property was wonderful! It was clean and comfortable. Also, the campground that owns this property has a wonderful beach and amenities. The only problem I had was we did not receive fresh towels and wash clothes during the course of our 4 night stay. Also, I would give this property an excellent review if it had a mini fridge and microwave in the room. Unfortunately it did not. Other than that, this property is wonderful and I highly recommend it.
We arrived to a very clean room with rustic log furniture. Very up north feeling. The amenities were few but the stay was great. The coffee station was great addition, and the coffee was good.
The only negative was the bed. It was hard.
Also the shower needs to have grab bars installed. All in all we would stay again.
Room was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. The AC cooled the room well. However it was EXTREMELY noisy. And it wasn’t from normal operations. It rattled and clunk on startup and shut down. That was our only issue. The rest of our stay was excellent.
This hotel was a great value for a summer getaway. The rooms are just big enough for a couple, perfect to come back to after a day in Mackinaw. Definitely couldn’t get a whole family in the room we had though. There’s a nice pool but it closed too early for us to get to use. The path down to the lake opens up to a fire/picnic area with a great view of the bridge. We were able to ride our bikes into town in about 15 minutes going at an easy pace; half of the ride was on the road, the other half on the trail that runs parallel to the road. Our room was clean and the rustic wood furnishings were nice. Parking is a little tight, especially when people don’t park in the lines. I would certainly stay here again!
The room was clean but small. Finding how to register was cumbersome. I would not recommend it for the elderly. The lake was nearby but you couldn't see it from the room. You had a short walk through a wooded area to get to the lake.
Very nicely remodeled motel. Rooms were clean nice accommodations. Bed comfortable. Property was clean path to get to Great Lake was short well maintained
We loved the property!! The room was very clean and cozy!!! The only issue we had was the bed. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable, it could’ve been a a little softer. But outside that I would definitely recommend.
The hotel was very clean and good value for the money. The staff was friendly and when we had a very minor issue they were there in mins to help us out.
Would stay there again
Perfect motel just outside of town. Beautiful private beach coffee hut too. Friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again!

It was clean and well maintained. Wish it was a Queen size bed for my husband and I but it was what I booked. No bar soap? No outlet next to bed for cellphone charging.
