Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Very adequate motel room, price was right. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Only complaint was that it smelt like they bleached the entire room before we arrived, but I guess that is preferred over a stinky room. Would also recommend bringing your own TP because you get what you pay for. Great central location between the lake and the downtown area, walkable to both. Made for a nice stay in Manistee, would be open to staying there again in the future.
I've never stayed in a motel with cuter decor. It may be older, but location (by water) and price point were great. Appreciated the fridge/microwave. Only wish there had been a way to get coffee or tea before the front desk opened at 8 am. We had to leave early and there were no options in the room itself.
We stayed in a one queen bed room. It was small, but nice. Outdated, but clean. Check-in was easy and staff was nice. Cute motel. Really no complaints. Would stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
It was a nice place to stay. Definitely showing its age but clean and conveniently located.
Motel backs above the river. If possible get a room with a patio facing the river. Our room was fine. Microwave and frig. Bathroom was in the process of being remodeled. What was done was lovely. Very nice family owner. Has an outdoor pool and is pet friendly. Good location.
Older property but in a very convenient location. Easy walk into town or to the lake along the river walk.
Rooms are pretty basic. Microwave & refrigerator in the room. Keurig coffeemaker in the office so only available during office hours. Rooms really need room darkening curtains and pillows are terrible, so bring your own. A/C is loud but that helps block the noise from neighbors going in and out of cars right outside your room.
