"We stayed here for a night waiting for our friends to arrive the following day for a trip to Mackinac. Since we were only staying one night, we weren’t looking for anything fancy, our priority was something economical. This motel fit the bill. Check-in was easy and the staff recommended places to eat dinner. The room was very clean. Although the hotel itself is a tired-looking, the cleanliness seems to be their priority. That suited us! We didn’t use any amenities but a breakfast is provided and there’s an indoor pool. Again, nothing fancy."
