Stayed here twice (so far) while passing through for Christmas holidays. The rooms are always super clean, smell fresh, and are toasty warm for the winter. Forest Lake Restaurant is a quick walk from the rooms (2 minutes) and has excellent food. We love stopping here.

It was a good place to stay, had all the amenities we needed and super friendly staff. The room always felt damp but i think thats from all the rain that had been recieved, it was roomy and clean, better than the pictures.

I have a new favorite motel in GR! The full size fridge is a game changer. The room was great, big, comfy bed, tub and shower, microwave worked beautifully, fridge kept stuff nice and cold. Staff were all friendly. Didn’t need much from housekeeping but they checked in daily. They alerted me when they had to plow. Oh yeah and it was cold out but the room stayed warm. There is a nice restaurant in walking distance if it’s not January and gusting wind. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

It is an older motel that could use some updating, but it was clean and comfortable. The location was easy to find, and the staff was friendly.

Our room was facing the water which was across the street, so technically that was the water view room. I think there were permanent residents there which made us feel a little uncomfortable. The room was tired, but the beds were comfy. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Nice little place.
Motel is old, but clean. Check in and out was easy. We only spent one night, but it was quiet. Love being able to park right outside the door. No long halls or stairs.
