The mattresses were old and very soft. Anytime I moved in bed, the bed posts banged against the wall. I felt bad for the occupants next door. The rooms had a smell to them. There was also a dog staying in one of the rooms that I assumed was used by the owner's family and the dog would bark a lot. There was dog poop on the parking lot that I almost stepped in.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was cute and clean. The beds were split into two bedrooms which was awesome, and instead of just one chair outside there were two chairs and a table. It all made for a pleasant stay. The bed was comfortable too.

I would highly recommend avoiding this motel at all costs but before I get to the bad let me say I gave the motel an extra star because the lady that worked the front desk (and her cats) was extremely friendly throughout my entire stay. You will find this motel at a price point of $75-$86 which is WAY too high for what you get. I completely understand this is a motel in Northern Michigan but realistically this should be closer to $45/night. The Monarch website claims to have updated rooms which is completely incorrect. The room I had was extremely old and musty. The updates were a half-hearted paint job and some wall decorations from Home Goods. The A/C unit for the entire room was a very old window unit with a car air freshener attached to it. It did not cool the room at all since it was in the bathroom. My mini-fridge that was promised on the website did not close and did not stay cold enough. All rooms were claimed to be non-smoking yet the room (or the room next-door) had an overwhelming odor of smoke. But by far the worst thing that this room had to offer was the bed. I would say that the bed felt similar to laying on plywood propped up by concrete blocks. I have never in my life woke up with as much back and neck pain as I did from sleeping on that bed; I think I should have slept on the floor.
