10/10 Excellent

The room was clean, quiet, bed was comfortable, it had wifi and the bathroom was clean and updated.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Super clean bathroom and sleeping area. The exterior is a throwback to the 60s motorcourt era but that hides a modern, comfortable room. The manager/owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to our friends.

Very clean, quiet and convenient to the ferry to Mackinaw. Loved the small family feel.
Amy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The pictures on the website should be updated as the rooms are really nice and modern. St Ignance town center is within walking distance, as are the ferry docks.
Kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean rooms. Nothing fancy. All I needed was a clean comfortable place to stay and this place met those requirements.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The front desk person was very nice and gave us suggestions on where to eat and what to visit during our stay, and let us know about the Saturday night fireworks. The hotel is older, so smelled a little musty when we first went in, but once the a/c was on, it seemd to go away. It was a nice sized room, with a fridge, microwave, tv and small table to sit at.
Shannon, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was a throwback in the best possible way. Great experience
Ted, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice clean comfortable place to stay.
Janice, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Very basic room with dated furnishings that somehow look brand new. Everything was spotless. Great bed and cable selections. No breakfast. Security is an issue, as they still use old-style keys you insert into the doorknob instead of the deadbolt, making it easy for someone to jimmy when you're out of the room.
Chris, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location was perfect. Room cost fit our budget but was still very nice.
