Room was very clean and comfortable. It was a little small but wasn’t bad. The owners were very sweet and even gave us some tips on places to eat near by. Also has a small beach right across the hotel that is easy to get to.

Quaint property from the 50s. The owners are delightful. Rooms are on the small side but very clean and well appointed. We would definitely stay here again.

It was a spacious kitchenette with 2 queen beds and a single bed not a rollaway. It was spotless clean only one negative the shower would not turn on and it was too late to bother anyone.

9.0 Expedia rating, come on. Old mom and pop location not updated for at least 50 years. Not the best cleaning, rusted hot water heating fixtures just make it look dirty. Bathroom shower small and NO HOT WATER. Sorry, I am sure the owners are just hanging on but time to sell, retire and let someone else make it acceptable or close it down.

The motel is across the street from Lake Huron. Beautiful view. Clean room comfortable bed and the room rate is cheaper than other hotels. I've stayed here before and am always satisfied. They could put dead- bolts on their doors though

Stayed at this local Motel and was happy with the facility. Our room included a small table and two chairs where you could eat take out if desired. There was also a lounge chair. Decor was cute.

The motel is in a great location, the rooms are cozy and clean. If you are looking for a quiet cozy motel, this is the place. The people who own it are very friendly and willing to help with any issues.
