10/10 Exceptional

Helpful service, good property, great location.
Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Worked out great. Quick overnight stop to get to our actual location the next day. Friendly staff, very clean room, loved the fact that the mattress and box spring had bed bug protectors on them (I always check mattresses). Easy in and out. The room was large and bathroom even had a small window. Appreciated the "family run, small buisness" feel and would stay again. Thank you!

Amy, 2-night trip

Great clean and friendly pace. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and ferry.
William, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This motel probably could use some updating however it was quiet, centrally located to downtown and ferry docks and day trips to Drummond Island, Whitefish Point, Tahquamenen Falls. The couple who operate it are very friendly, accommodating and professional. A nice change from the major hotel chains. Room was roomy. The fridge was small but worked which was a plus for us. Would stay there again.
