Good motel to stay at

The bathroom sink was a little sketchy, and the smoke alarm was missing a cover. Otherwise, it was an awesome place

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room had a terrible mold smell. Everything was outdated. The safe didn’t work. The bathroom was disgusting. The shower head was barely functional. The bed was very uncomfortable. People upstairs were extremely loud…not that the hotel can control that part but if everything else would have been to standard that may have been overlooked. The best part of the stay was being able to connect to Netflix on the TV.

Property was not very clean. Dusty lamps, sheets full of lint, cursory cleaning at best. Room smelled of mothballs.

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.

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.

Outdated

This motel, although inexpensive for the area, is outdated. It doesn't appear that any updates have been done since built. Our room was in the back building with an air conditioner that didn't work and a bed that would not be comfortable for more than one night.

This is a comfy and convenient place to stay in St. Ignace. Right on the beach with a nice firepit and a grassy area for the dog. Easy walk to Jose’s for dinner.

Asked for maid service got nothing in 2 days. Bathroom floor dead bugs, dirty. Holes in wall no curtains just shades. Very dirty carpet dusty furniture. Bugs on walls as well. Old dirty bedding under mattress. Outside lake view was only saving grace. Room next to us had bugs in their bed. They had to leave and went to another hotel.

The owner/manager was so helpful when we booked late in the day and arrived at 9:30pm. It was so wonderfully convenient after such a long ride. The room was so welcoming ☺ and I absolutely loved the decor! The ceiling is so cool.The beds were very comfortable. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely be back.

The motel is lakefront with a nice beach. Fire pit for guests. The manager was very nice and upgraded our room to ground floor which was better for mobility issues. Clean, comfortable bed and nice, thick bath towels. View of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island are beautiful.
