A very nice mom and pop. Very clean. Extra large room for just $54. Big chain down the street is about double that. DirecTV and wired and wireless Wi-Fi are excellent. Three minutes from downtown Alpena with several good places for meals and drinks. As I mention in the title, this was our fourth stay at the Dew Drop Inn.... More

The room was very clean and easy to find. I am only giving it a four in rating as the bed was a bit too firm for us (mattress was old, my husband thinks). We got the queen bed unit and it cost us $50 plus tax.

I remember traveling with my parents in the 50s and stopping at a little motel along the way. The price is very reasonable and you get what you pay for. The internet access is excellent. This was a nice surprise for us as they had satellite tv and we were able to get our local news report back home. There... More

We are so glad we chose this old style motel over the chains. Our room and the other couple we were with had unbelieveably clean. Bedding and towels smelled so fresh. There isn't a continental breakfast but we sure didn't miss it either. Wish there were more places like this.

I had to overnight in Alpena, MI and the hotels were outrageous in there pricing. I found this little motel just north of downtown. I was pleasantly surprised to find the rate for a single room was only $45.00 the room was vewry clean and cozy. The owners were very nice and accomadating. The motel is AAA approved as well.

The large chain hotels in Alpena are not top notch and generally way overpriced. Have stayed at the Dew Drop Inn about seven times over the last 12 years and have never been disappointed. This is a very basic, no frills, old style, family run Mom and Pop motel that is extremely clean with courteous service and comparitively inexpensive. Quite... More

Pro: Reasonable rates, AAA discount, VERY clean, very quiet (with the doors and windows shut) Con: Strange placement of A/C and light switch, cinder block walls feel institutional, SMALL shower that one needs to beware of abrupt temperature changes due to human error. I stayed in a full-size bed room. The room smelled clean when I entered, and I wasn't... More

Only needed one night here and booked over the phone based on fellow tripadvisor contributors. I was not disappointed. Front desk very pleasant and helpful, room was spotless and cost was half of the 'Inn' down the street, but I didn't need all the extras that the large chains offered.

All of the larger chains had no vacancies so we reluctantly drove to the Dew Drop Inn..... imagine our surprise. Quaint, clean, adorable, very friendly owners, classic motel ambience... Great rate plus Direct TV and wireless. The only negative was the wireless internet didn't have a strong enough signal to connect while we were there but it shouldn't affect your... More

Spotless accommodation in a classic motel. Cheerful hosts. Value could not be better. A bit far out of "downtown Alpena" if you are walking. (We were traveling on our motorbikes and prefer to walk to dinner.)
