Cute vinatge motel with updated rooms. Great location. Walkable to downtown but not in all th3 congestion. We booked a queen room but were given a double so were dissapointed we were not riveriside like expected. We arrived at 2:50 and a sign said they'd be open at 3:15 so we left to eat. We recieved a call saying the office would close at 4:00 so they'd leave a key wo we hqlad no way to switch rooms from the mistake.
Nothing in the room is plugged in upon arrival (refrigerator, a.c., etc.) So i advise calling ahead if its hot or you have things you need to refrigerate so maybe they would plug things in for you. I would stay here again though!

We THOUGHT we would have a room with a view of the river but didn’t. We had no one to talk to about our room choose because the place is only staffed from 8;00 am to 11:00 am. Most of the river view rooms were empty. We asked the next morning if we could move one of out rooms to a river view room and we’re told no. We noticed that a LOT of the river view rooms were still empty all the nights we were there. The entry door had a metal lip on the surround that caught all of us when trying to open or close the door. (we had 2 rooms with 5 adults). My bf’s nail was ripped back. There were no locks on the windows. The bathroom on room 18 didn’t have a knob on the inside, just some sort of turn key lock. We couldn’t shut the door all the way. When I actually shut the door two different times I had to have my bf turn the knob on the outside of the bathroom so I could get out. My 85 year old dad struggled with the weird smell in the room he and my mom were in. My bf, sister and I had a partial roll tp that ran out the first night and there was no spare. No one on-site to ask for more. (Office only manned from 8:00 - 11:00 am.) We we’re all disappointed in our rooms and the lack of help we got to address our issues. I think I could have overlooked a lot of the things if we could have been moved to an actual river view room for the second night and had chairs to sit on outside our room. There were rooms empty. We would have paid a cleaning fee.

It is a quaint older motel. The views of the channel are nice and a walkway along the channel leads to downtown shopping and eats - including a brewery
Retro looking motel on the Manistee river. Simple but clean. Comfortable beds, larger refrigerator than most hotels, plenty of storage space in dresser and under the beds. Glider chairs and picnic table facing the river for nice view of the sunset. Close to downtown and Lake Michigan.
Nice Motel, great location, great price, Awesome staff….
Owner is making a lot of upgrades to bring this property back to what it once was.( 1st motel in Manistee) . Definitely will be returning next summer.
Awesome Sunsets are just a 10 minute walk to the beach
The location is perfect, close enough to downtown but a quiet location. Our room didn't have a walk out so we didn't have anywhere to sit outside. Rooms with walkouts have chairs, picnic tables and a bbq. Even in the room there was no where to sit but the bed. A chair or two would've been great. There was air conditioning, a fridge and microwave and the room was a good size.

Great location
The location was great.. enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching the boats on the river. The gliding chairs were awesome! You can walk the river walk to town or the beach. The bathroom needs a lot of TLC…we were told that in the off season months they are going to update and redo electrical… Cassandra (?) at the front desk was awesome…
The main bedroom was clean and updated.
