It was the perfect place for a one night stay for my husband, mom, and small dog. The owners were very friendly upon checking us in, and the room was very clean & reasonably priced. Our room had a full sized fridge and a small microwave. The motel is a bit "vintage (blue toilet & tub), but aside from a bit of a moth ball type smell, it was exactly what we needed for easy loading/unloading of luggage, people and pottying the pooch👍👍 Our room had a lake view as well. I would definately stay again.

Classic Motel in Grand Rapids

The Forest Lake Motel is a classic motel property in a great location (and adjacent to a very good restaurant). The room was clean and comfortable. The service was friendly, welcoming and very accommodating.
