“Read my review, don't go by rating alone”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I'm not sure how to rate this property. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished... with clean bathrooms... fridges... reasonably comfy beds... Clearly the owners do a good job of keeping the place up. The only thing that bothered me was the unsavory characters hanging around. There are ashtrays outside the rooms (who does that anymore?), and in the late afternoon when we checked in, there were people just hanging around in the chairs outside their rooms. They gave the impression that they weren't vacationers, but were perhaps living at the hotel. I mean, young single people in their 30's with nothing better to do than to sit around a hotel in the afternoon? It made us very uncomfortable. I had originally disregarded the review by boru1951 titled "Parolees & Homeless People" because it smacks of a fake review given by a disgruntled former employee, but now that I've stayed there, I can't help but wonder who in the heck those other "guests" were.
If you're looking for a clean, comfy room for the night, this place is fine -- hence the four dot rating. But if you're going to worry about who is hanging around, find someplace else.

“Helpful and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2011

Northern Michigan Hospital recommended the Coach House Inn to our family as they are one of three motels on their list for families. Very clean and a good location. Family owned, very helpful and friendly in our time of need.

“Parolees & Homeless People”

Motel is about half occupied by recently paroled criminals (usually sex offenders) and they get the overflow from the local homeless shelters.

“Nice, Basic Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009

I generally agree with the reviewers before me - the place was basic (an older style motel, shaped in a U), but very clean and comfortable. It is in the north end of town, which makes it convenient to beautiful Harbor Springs while still not being very far from "downtown" Petoskey. It was a busy time when we were there, with a large car show in St. Ignace, so the $70 price seemed reasonable. Other places like Super 8 were charging that, too, I think. The gentleman who ran the place was very helpful, and was always available if we needed him. While this place is nothing to rave about, we DID find it very comfortable, quiet and clean, so we were happy!

“Older but Meticulously Maintained, and Clean-Clean-Clean!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2008
1
person found this review helpful

What a find! We were passing through the area with no reservations, and found the whole town nearly sold out. This motel had 1 room that cancelled so we grabbed it. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

The gentleman that owns the motel was very helpful and friendly. We stayed here to gamble at the nearby Odawa Casino. This motel is on the shuttle stop, so it's very convenient.

The room itself was very cozy and CLEAN! I know this sounds crazy but the beds were those "old fashioned" spring beds and my husband and I can't stop raving about the GREAT night's sleep we got on it! Sometimes newer technology isn't always better. Ha.

It was a great stay and would most definitely return on another trip. Thank you!
