Wonderful

We loved everything very nice managers/owners. The room was spotless very comfortable beds air-conditioned sleep like a baby no noise at all. 4th time staying there I highly recommend it. 5 star motel
The hotel is a smaller motel in a small town. It has been updated and the rooms are great. Sorry cute area. Has a pavilion, a place for a bonfire and a grill. Staff was super friendly ! It was close to many places to visit along Lake Michigan. I would recommend this motel if you are in this area.
Family owned property that they made me feel at home. Rooms appeared refurbished to new with very comfortable beds, strong AC, very clean rooms. I travel a lot and spend 80% of my time on the road and would easily return here again. This is a hidden gem. Better then Chain hotels.
Jen and her husband, who run the Mushroom Cap, are really nice and interesting people. Jen went the extra mile helping me with an unexpectedly late check-in which was very much appreciated after a long travel day. My room was large, well-equipped, and spotless. Will definitely stay there again if I'm in the area. Easy 5 stars.
First time here and it was great! Check-in was fantastic. The lady who checked us in was super nice and very helpful. The room was huge and super clean. The a/c was great! No elevators in the building, but wasn’t a bad stair climb.
Roomy room! Felt like new.
Was concerned by the looks of the checking in spot; looked kind of beat up. But was pleasantly surprised by the sleeping room and the motel in general.
Omg, where do I start....very very nice staff & adorable pets. Small older town with not much to offer but my room! New remodeling...new comfortable bed and amazing pillows. Spacious, very clean! Wifi password immediately available another tv stand. Nice balcony and scenery. Most definitely would stay here again!
I stayed in the motel not the cabins. The room was nice A/C worked well very comfortable. Don’t expect all the extras like a chain brand though. I’d recommend it.
Our room was definitely updated at some point relatively recently...newer carpet, updated bathroom. The room was pretty clean and didn't have any "oders" that one might expect from a "motel". Beds were OK, typical firmer hotel beds. No issues with anything, really. Office personnel were friendly and helpful.
This is my new favorite place- right down from Ellen's Shell station that has the best pizza in town. :). I felt safe who was clean they use Dove products, so grateful for your skin, the environment and women's initiatives. Just an all-around wonderful place that deserves the five stars. Breakfast was namebrand muffins, coffee, but no fresh fruit. Only recommendation I'd make to the staff, it would be lovely if you put out a few apples or oranges at breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay and we hope you have a fantastic summer season.
I mistaking booked a non friendly pet room was told that I couldn't stay.ask for a refund she turned her back and said your agent is responsible.this is bullcrap human terror is not forgiven.
