It was a spacious kitchenette with 2 queen beds and a single bed not a rollaway. It was spotless clean only one negative the shower would not turn on and it was too late to bother anyone.

9.0 Expedia rating, come on. Old mom and pop location not updated for at least 50 years. Not the best cleaning, rusted hot water heating fixtures just make it look dirty. Bathroom shower small and NO HOT WATER. Sorry, I am sure the owners are just hanging on but time to sell, retire and let someone else make it acceptable or close it down.

The motel is across the street from Lake Huron. Beautiful view. Clean room comfortable bed and the room rate is cheaper than other hotels. I've stayed here before and am always satisfied. They could put dead- bolts on their doors though
