They have recently remodeled and it is beautiful. The view was better than a lot of the big name places. It was quiet and right on the beach. I will absolutely come back and look forward to staying here again. We were on the second floor and I was more than pleased with our room, balcony and view. We got there after hours and the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. 10/10 completely recommend

This property is fun because if you secure a waterfront room, the lake is accessible right outside your room. But….. the two pools and the hot tub weren’t working. 5/6 in our group wanted the pools. We should’ve been informed about this. Second, the inside of the rooms were clean but outside on the walls and grass, it was dirty. There are bugs, cobwebs and goose poop everywhere. I’m an outside person but it was gross. Lastly, my cc was charged before I even arrived. I don’t appreciate that. I’m not sure I’d stay at that location in the future.

This is a great little motel that is in the middle of face-lift. Our room was so nice. It was newly remodled floor to ceiling knotty pine. Beds were very comfortable. Great views of the bridge and own private beach. Can't wait to stay again.

We arrived early (12:30-ish) anticipating that a room would not be ready - surprisingly it was but it was on the second floor, and I was recovering from a knee replacement and requested a first-floor room. We were told "no problem" but it would not be ready until later so come back at 4:00 - that worked great for us as we were going to Mackinac Island. We returned to the hotel at 7:10 pm and were given the key to our room., When we got there, it was still being cleaned and the room cleaner said he needed another 20- 30 minutes because no one told him this room was rented out. We went back to the front desk to explain and the woman told us that we would just have to wait in our car until he was done - she said that "housekeeping fell behind" (3 hours behind???). So we waited in our car (motel was 100% booked) - housekeeping said they were done and we unloaded the car - only to find that the door would not lock nor even stay shut. So we went back to the front desk and the same woman came to our room to confirm that, "yes, something is wrong". She had to call maintenance and by the time it was fixed (something was wrong with the door frame weather stripping?) we had waited a full hour and half before we could relax and unwind after a long day. The attitude of the front desk lady was terribly disrespectful - implying that WE were the issue causers when we had nothing to do with it except pay $300 for the night!

Rooms were nice and clean. Great view of the Bridge and awesome little beach for kids to play on. Room were a little small, but no problem for one night. Pool was a little run down and wasn't heated, but kids still went in. Loss of star was our room wasn't ready when we arrived after check out time and at first we were given a key to the wrong sized room. Staff quickly corrected and were very nice.

I would advise people to stay in a tent over this place! Photos in ad are not what the rooms look like, bathroom looks more like a out house in size plastic showering area cramped room size. Not worth what they charge.

Room booked was awful. We requested to update our room and the front desk was very helpful and got us a really nice room for more money but it was worth it. We were very happy with our stay there then.

Horrible!
The place they put us in was no where close to the picture they advertised. Our TVs didn't work ( in either room). we had ants in our bathroom and it was just very old and I would never have booked there if the photo was accurate. Would NOT recommend.

The property had a nice laid-back feel and is right off Lake Huron, many rooms have a view of the lake which is literally feet away. The rooms have a fridge and a microwave. It is also within walking distance of the boats to Mackinac Island. The staff is great, particularly Monique who checked me in. She was extremely pleasant as well as knowledgeable. I would definitely return and with any luck, maybe Monique will be there👍

I was nervous after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised with our deluxe lake view bridge view room. It is still under renovation so the phone is not able to be used. Maintenance man fixed TV and the hot water as soon as I let management know they were not working. The shower is very nice. No housekeeping but we were okay with that. You have to get your towels off the housekeeping cart but not all kinds of towels were on it. We managed. You can go swimming if you don’t mind sharing the beach with the geese and ducks who leave their poo everywhere. We chose not to go to the beach area because of this. The refrigerator was nice to have in the room The motel is conveniently situated so it easy to get to the downtown area and the parks.
