This charming motel has a 50’s vibe! Rooms are beautiful and well appointed with every little detail. The views of the St. Clair River are amazing! The two inside window barrel chairs, along with your own outside patio chairs secure your views of the grand Port Huron freighters coming up river headed to Detroit. Don’t pass up a chance to stay here or miss this secluded charming river town.

Nice view of the St. Claire River even if it was on the parking lot side to view the many freighters in passing.. Rooms clean and quiet. Added bonus was lunch at the River Crab fine restaurant in the same lot. Nice two day getaway on a belated spring week without driving too far from my home base.

Clean spacious room with some nice touches. Updates have been done but the mattress was worn and definitely too soft for my liking. Fantastic views of the river!

We loved the place, just my dog & myself. Wish they had a garbage w/bags where the grass is to take them potty. At least a garbage, took a while to find but it's right outside the office. 🤔 Nice & quite as we reciprocate. 👍

I love this property & stay! This time I was disappointed that under the beds was not sufficiently cleaned There were a couple items under the beds that did not belong to us, couple empties & a bucket. Also the bathroom door was hard to open & close, warped, needs to be fixed.

This is an old run down motel that Expedia advertised as a 3.5 star hotel! I paid over two hundred dollars to stay at a run down motel! Expedia had false advertising with this one! I should have a refund for this! Horrible!

The hotel sits off the water which gives an amazing view, if you are not on the first floor. There is no breakfast buffet, but cinnamon roll or banana muffin, juice, and coffee. The air conditioner system is loud, it was a self standing unit in the room. The ceiling was crumbling down and needs repairs
