Just what you'd expect for the price in this area. Property is in disrepair, but clean. Excellent option if all all you're looking for is a roof over your head for a night or two.

If you need a minimalistic, clean, simple, no frills, place to stay that is an excellent value and located close to everything, this is a great place. We loved the store next door, they literally have everything one could need, and prepare really good fresh pasty's that are hot and ready and deli sandwiches. It is a mini grocery store, they have non ethanol premium on the pump. I was very happy with our stay there. The owners and employees are very kind people as well.

Good points: Good location. Somewhat comfortable bed. Nice refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Bad points: The water in the bathroom was yellow when I turned on the sink. The water overall smelled like a well. When I showered, my hair even had this musty smell. The walls need painting. A larger TV with options for local channels would be nice. The biggest issue was the carpet. It was filthy. I wore socks to keep my feet from touching the carpet and after one day, the the bottoms were black. I had to wash them to get the blackness out.

National park conveniently close. Motel could use deadbolt on exterior door for safety. Windows needed lock replaced. Room ok but refrigerator was broken smelled awful if opened. Would not recommend a stay during warmer months.

Simple, budget friendly, great location, had most of what I needed, minimum necessities. Didn't have a good place in the room for clothing or to put a suitcase or bag; only 1 hanger, and it was for pants. TV was very small. No ventilation in the bathroom. Next to party house, sounded loud and violent at about 3am.

It is close to Munising/ Pictured Rocks, just a short scenic drive away on M28. It is a short walk to Au Train beach on Lake Superior. The carry-out pizza restaurant Northwoods across the street has delicious pizza. The grocery store next to this motel has delicious meat pasties.
