There was a small refrigerator in the room. The room had a very strong smell of MOLD. There were 2 areas in front of the frig where the carpet was wet from leaking. Based on the smell and condition of the carpet in front of the frig it has been leaking and wet for MONTHS.
I was a little skeptical about their check in/out process but it worked seamlessly
and couldn't be any easier. This property has very clean rooms. Beds were comfortable although a little on the firm side. If you're looking for quiet, this is the place. I could not hear the room next door and barely heard car doors which are conveniently parked right at your door. Nice lighting inside and out. Refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and flat screen tv are included. Loved the sink/counter space with corner shelves on each end. Bathroom was small but shower was clean and had adequate water pressure. Stayed three nights and had plenty of towels. I did not have any need for extras so I cannot review the service from staff but I do know they are on site 24 hrs. Shopping district is a short,strait drive down the road with easy access to the Mackinac Bridge. This is probably the best motel I have ever stayed at. I will definetely be staying again!
Deb and Lorraine were wonderful.
The tv didn't work.
The bed didn't seem like a queen size. It was much smaller. I think it was a double and very uncomfortable
A great old school motel with some vintage features. The mattresses were comfortable and things were clean. And although it looked like the shower head was missing, it functioned just fine—good water pressure! There was a weird smell that dissipated a bit after we turned on the ceiling fan.
Blonde hairs were visible in my guestroom from previous visits. Rooms are not as clean as they could (and should!) be, especially given that this motel has a six hour gap between check-out and check-in of the next guest. Poor quality bath toiletries. Limited number of small, thin bath towels.
Cute nice clean place to stay, it’s quiet around the Motel, rooms are simple and clean. Nice 10min walk to downtown Mackinaw City, 15min walk to the ferry. We enjoyed our stay !! They have virtual check in and check out which is awesome!
