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.

Exceptional stay away from city.
After reading several reviews that said this motel was less than perfect, I now wonder if they were not about this great find. Everything here was perfect from room accommodations, staff and peacefulness away from the city. Our four day stay provided a very relaxing end to our summer travels.

Clean, Quiet, Comfortable, and Close to Everything
Overall I really enjoyed my stay. The check-in process at the campground was easy and the staff was super friendly. They also helped me plan my trip to the island, including providing discounted ferry tickets and shuttle bus information (and some tips on what to do when I got to the island). Other staff I met during my stay were always welcoming and friendly. My room was comfortable, clearly newly renovated, and very clean. It was definitely small but just the right size for me as a single traveler. I also appreciated the fact that because the rooms only accommodate one or two people that there weren't children and pets and the noise and commotion that they can bring to a property. The a/c unit appeared new and worked well, and the bed was very comfortable. I also appreciated the morning coffee cabin and the opportunity to visit with other guests outside of our rooms. The location of the motel is great. I would have loved better water pressure and temperature control in the shower, but understand with the age of the property there are some things you have to just live with. WiFi was definitely an issue, however, especially since my phone did not have great service either. While I was on vacation, and not needing to do a lot of work, decent WiFi really is important to be able to stay connected to my personal life as well. I hope that there are plans to correct this, as I definitely plan to stay here again if/when I come back to Northern Michigan.

this hotel is part of a camp ground about half mile away. rooms are quite small but clean. WIFI is nonexistent. their paperwork says you should be able to check emails but not stream anything but i could not even get my emails to load. it appears you can pay at the campground for upgraded wifi to allow streaming but it appears the motel is just not as well serviced. also no fridge. had to use small dorm fridge in the coffee hut to keep my dairy items cold. this is very basic accomodations!

The room was cute and very clean. There is a outdoor pool. The best was by staying at the hotel you receive a pass to the campground 1/2 mile down the road with access to the lake and campfire pits, camp store, outdoor pool and free mini golf. Really nice setup.
