This is just an ok motel on the side of a busy roadway. Close to the ferry docks to Mackinac island Decent food nearby. Room was ok and bed comfortable for the price. My lower rating was based on exterior of building and property maintenance. Would stay again if in area

Very clean. Not alot of amenities just a basic place to stay which was great for us. We did get to hear the two members of the staff have a all out brawl that woke us up the next morning. Good old cat fight A little shocked it wasn't extinguished by other staff. We checked out pretty fast after that

The facility was very clean and well maintained. The front desk associate was very nice and friendly. The cost was very reasonable. You can pay more at the big name guys but I enjoyed staying with the local hospitality. Also there was plenty of dining options and the area was great for a morning or evening walk.

Super clean, super well maintained property. The staff is really kind and really helpful. Let us check-in early and were super efficient in calling us a shuttle so that we could make it to our ferry in time. Have an assortment of bagels, muffins, cereal for breakfast which were all decent. Would 100% recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Room was clean. The water completely turned off while husband was in the shower. Took few minutes to come back on. TV had poor signal and did not work long enough to watch anything.
