We have stayed here the past 3 years. The room was very clean so the cleaning staff continues to do a great job. This year the mattress was terrible in our room, there was a constant clanking noise as from the floor radiator that would not stop and we had to play white noise on the phone. The neighbors checked in after 1am and would not be quiet until after 2am. I actually considered going to sleep in my car. We left a day early and found another place to stay.

Very nice place and pet friendly

Cute place to stay for that 1950s roadtrip motel experience. Very nice place to stay, right in the middle of sleeping bear dunes national lakeshore area. Very clean accommodations, convenient check-in process. Traveling with my pet was very nice and convenient to stay here.

Good sleep after lake

Comfortable bed, worked for exactly what we wanted - a place to lay our head after spending all day at the lake. Location is ideal for that.
