I'm barely here an hour and I'm resenting the choice. While Michigan is now all non-smoking, I guess hotels clean the room and hope for the best. My first room obviously had been a smoking room in it's previous life and I asked for another room. I was upgraded to a jacquizzi room which is no big woop (same room but an extra space for tub). The rooms are dated, cheap and dark, and the windows don't block the sound well. A train went by a few minutes ago and I hope they don't run at night. Loud cars drive by every once in a while. All the hotels in this area are relatively expensive, and I don't know why. Maybe the local casino? I just came from a Townplace suites in Detroit where I paid the same price and while that hotel was MUCH better even though it was mildly dated. If you are in the area, find another hotel even if it costs more.

Check in was friendly. Room had the sink in the foyer of the room which was weird, being on carpet. The bathroom had a shower and toilet. There was wall paper in the shower area near the level of my head on up. This was kind of peeling in areas, and some discoloration.

All night long, I could hear conversations in the hallway, and the icemaker going off etc.

They charge $1.25 "safe rental fee" which is ridiculous but small enough that who is going to complain.

Breakfast offerred assorted pastries, breads, toast, cereal, OJ, milk, etc. There was a waffle iron, boiled eggs, teeny tiny diet yogurts, fruit cups, etc.

Internet worked in the room for free.

Overall, this is a pretty average place in my opinion, just ok in most areas.

I had a wonderful stay! Had checked prices around town, to find it was the most reasonable. I'll admit this concerned me a little bit, until I called and the front desk explained the "little things" they offer that just talk you into giving it a try!
The pool was really warm, and the Jacuzzi was wonderfully hot, a good way to relax away all your stress. Breakfast could have used a little more, maybe some hot items like eggs and bacon would be delicious.
The staff went above and beyond to make sure my stay was pleasant. Room was very clean, with standard decor, maybe could have used a better color scheme, but it wasn't gaudy.
Would definetely recommend to anyone! Friendly, courteous staff made me feel more at home, not just at another motel.

Hubby and I wanted to stay in Battle Creek, but the reviews were so bad, we decided to drive farther and stay in Marshall.
The motel was fine, nothing special, just a place to spend the night that wasn't as expensive as others in the area. It was clean. We arrived late, so we didn't check out the pool. The continental breakfast was again...typical. Bagels, those little muffins that every motel everywhere seems to think its customers enjoy. I don't understand why they don't get products from the local bakeries...too much money?
Hubby didn't care for the pillows and said he would bring his own next time!
We would spend the night here again.
