Great place!! Girls trip, Loved the vibe of the motel. Great location right off the interstate. Rob gave great recommendations for places to eat and see.
Nice renovated roadside motel with beautiful property and pool and friendly, informative staff. Rooms are small as old roadside motel rooms are, but nicely furnished and it was quiet when we were there. Would definitely return!
This was a beautiful property in which the owner, Retro Rob, has done everything right to make your stay welcoming and relaxing. The rooms are simple but you have everything you could need and more. And you can use the $1 bus service, the Interurban, to go all over Saugatuck/Douglas.
Great weekend getaway. Loved everything about the Retro Motel, it was clean and comfy, pool is fab, good location but the best part about it was Rob! What a kind, caring soul - the world could use more humans like him!

It was nice & clean! The only thing was it smelled musty and the AC was loud. Cute place though
Great stay, this was our first time in a motel in over 20 years. Rob’s service is amazing, he helped answer any of our questions and we had a great conversation! Our room was cozy and clean! We didn’t use the pool due to the weather but it looked nice and warm. Would definitely recommend a stay and would come back here again!
Everything about our stay was wonderful. The surounding grounds was beautiful. I think we loved the pool area and fire pit was a nice surprise. I would highly recommend.
Retro Rob is awesome! He helped us with restaurant recommendations, how to get to the best beaches. We met some great people at the resort bon fire. Had a great time in Saugatuck!!
A delightful re-tooling of an extraordinarily well-sited property—comforting landscaping with big trees. Peaceful and comfortable unit. The fastest check-in ever!
