So many things wrong with this place...showed up to check in and there was a bunch of kids with a mattress from their motel room sitting in the middle of the parking lot laying on it. Also, our family had 4 rooms booked and were charged different prices for the same "type" of room. When confronted the staff did NOT... More

I called Several months ago to make a reservation and was never asked for a credit card # to make the reservation. We were staying there because my cousin was getting married and there were a lot of relatives coming from out of town. Between all of us we had a bunch of rooms reserved. Upon arrival we pulled into... More

We spent a pleasant several days here. The room was clean and large, and was on the lake side where we could hear occasional loon calls. It's walking distance from a beach, a grocery store, and downtown. There was occasional noise from other guests, but it was quite quiet all the nights we spent there, which is the most important...

We had made a reservation for a room with three beds about 3 weeks before our trip for $73 night, arriving Wednesday, leaving Sunday AM. We called before arriving and were informed the room was given to someone who decided to stay longer. After expressing our dissappointment we were offered 2 rooms for the same price, this was acceptable to... More

I have been staying at the Forest Lake Motel in Grand Rapids several times a year for at least 7-8 years now (and a time or two before that too) and sadly the quality of the place is going steadily downhill. Let's make it clear, this is NOT the Hilton's finest but in most ways, for a place to sleep,... More

I have stayed at Forest Lake for many years. Last year, I made a reservation to stay this year, Nov. 6-9, 2009 in room #23 (kitchenette unit). Last month, I stopped by to double-check and was told he had no reservation for me. Then, after I started getting angry, he conveniently managed to "find" it, then said he could not... More

Sweet spot on the trip across the N. Country. They showed us a room, "down the hill.." it was spacious and neatly laid out with pretty motif of bedspread, hangings etc. BUT the best was the location away from the road and a hundred feet from a lake with a heady forest song of birds, bugs and frogs. Another note:... More

We spent two nights at Forest Lake Motel. The price was good and the people were friendly. Our room was spacious and had a working fridge. It was also in the back away from the street, so it was quiet. That's a plus! Also able to park right outside room door. On the down side. The furnishings were a little... More

This was a little family owned place, Great room with great price and a great staff, I would stay there again. The beds were a little stiff but still comfortable, however the hand sewen quilts on the beds were very nice... Don't expect posh frills here, it is a bit more rustic with a cabin feel. Wireless net was available... More
