My stay was good, but had a few bumps. In short, the broken toilet seat needs to be replaced. You sit, you get pinched. Secondly, the faded cottage numbers need to be a little more visible or even marked on front by the door. My second day I got back from a beach day to a neighbor inside my cottage saying I was at the wrong cottage. He swore mine was his, until he walked around to look at the cottage number facing the street. Those little adjustments would’ve made the stay closer to five stars.

We LOVED this place to stay. Yes, the rooms are small and could use a little update, but, the ease of check-in, close proximity to everything, and the POOL! THE POOL! It is beautiful, perfect, comfortable chairs... just perfect. I hope to stay at this motel again next summer. Absolutely loved it.

Nice Pace
It wasn't really fancy; it was just a normal place. We stayed on the second level. You have to carry your luggage up the stairs The view overlooks the pool and in the distance Lake Huron which is just a short walk away. The room only has a small fridge no microwave. coffee is available at the office. the room was comfortable, queen sized bed, table with two chairs and tv above the dresser. No designated parking area and we parked on the street.

The easiest check-in I've ever had. The pool is amazing. It's worth staying there just for the pool. I would definitely stay there again.

Thumb getaway
It was a good place, great location, needs some tlc, looks like they have been improving, if your looking for a reasonably priced place to stay its great, if your looking for a big squishing bed, not it the bed was very uncomfortable, no coffee provided there was a small 4 cup maker, which had mold growth from left over coffee grounds luckily there was a small local store across the street to buy filters and coffee , its not a bad place to stay.
