We stayed her one night on the way up to the UP, and then also on the way back. Good price, simple but clean. Nice restaurant nearby. Owner was very helpful, suggested what to see in the UP. Would recommend highly.

Management seems to not like visitors with teenagers and wanted them to play down the street in a field. Rooms plain. No pool, no hot chocolate or coffee and definitely no breakfast. They seemed to like to play big brother with prying eyes. In retrospect, I should have spent the extra money and stayed at a better place. I can... More

Stay here if you want plain plain plain. Nothing whatsoever on the walls as far as ambiance. The a.c. switch was broken, and must have been set on the "fan" setting before somebody broke it, because it was like a sauna in the room, and it wasn't very warm out to begin with. The place was clean though, and the... More

We stayed for a mini vacation. Pleasant owner, said he has been at the place for 26 years. The Inn is on old 75 at the curve. Disappointed it wasn't on the water and didn't see a pool, no breakfast in the morning either. But 2 queen beds in room, nice sheets, bed hard but comfortable. Room quite spacious. TV... More

Had a great stay in this hotel on our trip through the Upper Peninsula. We arrived at almost mid night and the owner was still in the office. Despite the time of night he took the time to give me a visitors map and marked a bunch of destinations on, or just off the highway. Exceptional service that I have... More

Decided not to stay here because of difficult parking. Owner was glad to open door for me and told me he didn't want it to hit me in the a-- on my way out. He called me a few names, and made fun of my trailer backing. All I can say to him is shut off the light when you... More

We were on a motorcycle tour around Lake Huron and were a few hours late arriving. Just as we arrived, the storm hit . Massive thunder and lightening show. Down pouring of rain.. unbelievable. Tim was courteous. The place was "Spotless". From the Office to the parking lots to the garbage cans to the hinges on the toilet seats. Immaculate.... More

This hotel is as plain as they come, but spotless and comfortable. It is conveniently located on the road from the Mackinac Bridge to the ferrydocks. If you want to visit Mackinac Island, but need a lower-priced room, you will find it here.
