Bathroom was very small for a heavyset person. But overall it was fine for a place to sleep in St Ignace. The price was right for a two night stay.

This property is in a nice location. We checked in a little early and had to wait for clean towels. We noticed the coffee pot in the room had not been emptied or cleaned from prior guests. The refrigerator made a terrible vibrating sound. The staff were friendly and accomodating.

First time I’ve ever refused to honor a hotel reservation. One bed (we had 2 rooms) had crumbs on the sheet, some kind of substance stuck on the shade, room next door had a gas grill right outside our room that was being used, etc. I believe this may now be popular for seasonal workers who rent by the month. The young man in the office was very kind and apologetic when giving us our cancellation. I thought I’d done due diligence prior to booking which brings me to my first ever public negative review.

Checked in at 4:45 pm and room had not been cleaned. Had to leave for a while. Room was old, dirty carpet, furniture missing a handle, dripping stain on wall, no mini fridge, shower was awful with no place to put tiny bar of soap. Motel is right on the lake but the beach was covered in goose poop and smelled awful.

nothing was as pictured or shared to believe. We checked in and found beds to seem un made- windows broken with tape on them/ bathroom shower floor from 1950 felt like could fall thru floor- smell was horrible/ floor had so many bugs/dirt/lint -unbelievable- behind head boards so much dust and mold- not healthy!!! Needs serious help- did not stay -left to find a safe/healthy place-- this was not it- felt like no one had cleaned or been in there for 50+ years/ would not recommend-safer to sleep in your vehicle!!!!!!!

The room was horribly dirty; I'm sure it had never been cleaned under the beds and along side the bed by the wall, and all floors were sandy. The dresser/fridge had residues of duct tape on it. There was no hair dryer. The overall function and look of the room was ancient.

I’ve stayed in the past for the car show, it was the same as always. Nothing out of this world but it absolutely gets the job done. But for low riding vehicles the driveway is tricky, though that is really my only complaint.
