this is right on Lake Huron, with barrels for evening fires and a great view of the Mackinac Bridge. Saw an egret at dawn. Not the glitziest motel i've ever stayed in, but that's OK.

Everything at this place was really good. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The only thing that could be improved is the breakfast. There was only pork sausages and pork burgers. It would be nice to have alternatives for those that don't eat pork.
