Nice simple place to stay

Neat and tidy but would suggest paper towels and disinfectant for tables in breakfast room for personal use since room is not monitored. Definitely a basic stay which met our needs perfectly.

Great place to stay!

Easy check-in, clean, and easy walk to restaurants in Douglas. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the low water pressure in the shower.

Blue Star Motel was amazing! We stayed in the apartment and it was fabulous to have a full kitchen, coffee maker and nice living area to hang in. Also, the hot tub and fire pit were awesome! We enjoyed all the amenities while being so close to downtown Sagatuck and Douglas, which means endless shopping, wine, art and restaurants! Stay here!

Beautiful and charming little Inn in Douglas. Just a short drive to Saugatuck and Douglass downtowns. Room was very clean and offered everything that we needed. Nice little ice cream and breakfast shop right next door. Would definitely stay again.
