The view was absolutely beautiful, and the room was very clean! The only suggestion I have would be to offer assigned parking, as it would make the stay even more convenient. Overall, we had a great experience!

Had a great stay here. It's an older motel, but well maintained. Room was clean, area was quiet and can't beat the view looking at the bay. Our room, on 2nd floor, had a good layout. Kitchen and tv area had a good seperation from the bedroom. Appreciated having the chairs and tables by the water to enjoy the view and have a snack.

This location is amazing as all rooms face Lake superior and there are many tables, chairs, and a barbecue as well as a small sand beach to hang out and play on. The two bedrooms and full kitchen in the room were awesome. One of the bedroom screens was missing. The phone didn’t work, and one of the lamps plugs didn’t fit into the outlet since there was no grounded outlet, but the staff quickly unplugged the toilet and the other items were not that significant. We would stay here again.

I think we were visiting early in the season for them. A couple lightbulbs were out, but they changed them while we went to dinner. Grab and go breakfast is pretty basic, but fine. Pull out bed was ok for kids, but adults probably would be uncomfortable. Main beds were great.

Awesome view. Room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Facility is showing its age and needs TLC. Breakfast was minimal - enough if you want to grab and go, but not a meal.

I had booked a two night stay , but honestly it was so run down and looked so bad, we walked out and got a room in a nearby hotel. Only good thing for this hotel is the view. - it is excellent. I don't think the air-conditioning works. The staff was helpful enough and refunded most of our money - so that was good!. Overall , I was very disappointed to pay 300 dollars and end up with this.

This is a mid century Schitts creek type motel. I mean that in the best way possible. Not for the Beougie! But it is awesome. Rooms are clean and well taken care of. This place is literally right on Lake Superior! The price was fantastic and there were chairs and picnic tables right there to watch the sunset. Which in and of itself was worth the price of admission. The outside doors and common area create a little sense of old school community. Creature comforts yes, but prima donna not so much. Plus shuffle board! We had so much fun and it is right next to downtown Munising.
