Super clean
My first impression was doubtful but once I was in the room I was impressed. It not a new hotel by any means but it’s in good shape and clean. The bathroom floor was sparkling clean. The bed was comfortable. The employee I spoke too was was wonderful

Cute motel right on the water
The motel is cute, a little dated but clean and fit our needs. The best part is the location right on Munising bay with a view of the town. They have chairs by the water to sit, relax and take in the view.

Basic but the view!!
3 night stay to be close to Picture Rock…
The staff make this motel! Friendly and helpful.
Motel is very dated but comfy. Like microwave and refrig in room. Plenty of parking. Construction makes finding this a challenge.
Definitely the highlight to this motel is being right on the lake!! Lots of seating, BBQ grills and the sunsets don’t disappoint. I’d come back.

Great location - but not much else
The location of the motel is amazing. Nice seating area outside looking west to the sunset
The room was musty smelling, the sink was cracked, carpet needed cleaning, no mattress pad on the mattress and window air conditioner did not work
Breakfast is a strong word for what was served; weak coffee, pre-packaged danishes and little yogurt cups

I would not stay here gain
The room was small and musty smell. The carpet was damp and it was not as pictured on their website. We had people on the porch outside our unit who drank and talked and laughed well pat 11 p.m. and we could hear them which kept us awake. There were no coffee filters and the kitchen was not well stocked
The price was way too much for the quality

Family vaca for Pictured Rocks
Came for 2 night stay. Was pleased with the motel. The place was clean, cute and perfect location to go see all of Pictured Rocks. My family and I had a perfectly relaxing time and really enjoyed the sunset.

Pictured Rock Base camp
I travel a lot and although this is not a big name brand hotel I found this little motel 50 feet from Lake superior Shoreline an excellent place for a base camp location to explore pictured rock national Shoreline. We selected the double queen bedroom with the kitchen living area combo.
The only downfall which is not the motels fault was the bridge which takes you back into town was being reconstructed thus far the road leading you back to town turned into a 20 minute car ride rather than 1 minute car ride.
I would definitely stay at this motel again.

Old fashioned yes, clean yes, fancy no but just a nice quaint relaxing quiet place. Chairs outside along the walls of Lake Superior. Actually had a clear view of the Northern lights that night we stayed.
