Wonderful

We enjoyed staying at the Inn. It was convenient after visiting Tahquenamon Falls and on our route to Door County. The room was clean and the shower was great.
This is the epitome of an old time motel. Check in was completely automated. Cleaning staff was very nice! Rooms were older but clean. Everything worked well.
The cons?
Shower is pretty slippery & the toilet is VERY low to the ground. Bed was also very stiff ( while not ideal it sure beats a saggy mattress)
Overall we would recommend if you just need a place to stay for the night while you are in the U.P.

Taking into consideration options, this Inn is very clean and convenient. Without having a manned front desk the process was very easy, communication was very good, just not what we are used to.
Great location and value for our visit to Newberry and Tahquamanon Falls. Check in is automated so no real front desk to evaluate but was very smooth check in.
Location was right on the road to our intended location. Easy access. Super clean. First time we have ever used electronic check in and it was user user friendly for an ol’ gal. Easy simple instructions. Loved getting the email notification to warn me ahead of time of this new process . Would recommend this as a stopping spot in the middle of several fun things to do in the U.P.
New to remote check in but touchscreen quickly connected us with someone who sounded local that helped us obtain our room keys from the automated 'key safe'.
Room was large, clean and comfortable. Park right outside your door.
Needed good wifi to run a board meeting and had no issues.
