Room was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Carpets needed cleaning badly though and a TV that was a normal size would have been nice . Water was nasty and smelled like sulfur and was orange until ran for a few minutes . Also a mirror in the bathroom that was of decent size would be nice . All in all fine for the few nights we were there as we weren't in our room much but out doing things in the area.

It was fine for the cost. Clean but old. We only needed a place to sleep at night, so it was perfect for that.

First thing we noticed was the toilet was leaking onto the floor. I told the gentleman that i got the key from that there was water on the floor around the toilet. He said it was probably mop water because the housekeeper just finished cleaning the room. That was not the case. There was definitely a leak - but they close at 8pm and we didn't arrive back to the room until after 9pm There is a desk, but no chair to sit. The bed was bumpy, bouncy and uncomfortable. The coffe pot still had coffee in it. Very disappointed.
The carpet was torn.
The heater was rusted and filthy.
Broken showerhead and barely any water pressure.

The room seemed clean but room deodorizer spray was a little overwhelming. And they missed the microwave. Some one had blew up something in there. Honest mistake I guess but makes me wonder what else they missed. Extremely friendly employees at the store for checking and purchases.

This place was just literally a long storage shed looking trailer carpets were gross water has this rotten eggs smell and the shower was not pleasant, but I made use of it used a towel there and instantly got red hair in my mouth and on the body. Other then that it was clean, very close by to all attractions and sites if you needed somewhere quick to go here is your place

This is a low budget place to stay and fits the bill for that. Rooms are outdated and falling apart (literally-the ceiling tiles look like they could come down on the bed at any time). Room was clean. Staff next door was very unpleasant and wouldn’t even look up from their personal phone call to ask if we needed help. For the area it’s one of the cheaper options if you just need a place to stay for the night.

I loved how quiet it was at night. Room was clean and well stocked, but carpets were so dirty they felt rubbery. Still a good stay.

Poor Condition and Dirty

The positives: we had a late check-in and the receptionist was very friendly and left the key in the room for us. It was easy to find and conveniently located. The not-so-positives: We had low expectations, just needed somewhere to sleep and shower on a road trip. This still failed to meet our expectations... There was 'gunk' on the walls, bedskirt, and sink. There was trash in the can. The bedspread was extremely stained. There was hair in the shower. The soap on the sink looked used (it was open). The blinds on the window were broken leaving large gaps. The bed was rock hard and the pillows were very flat and lumpy. There were lots of holes (patched and not) in the walls. There was a snowmobile map thumbtacked to the wall falling down.... just general disrepair. I would not recommend staying here, you're better off sleeping in your car...

Good Location But Not Nice

Pros: Good location right off the highway - about 10 miles to Munising. Good communication before visit and check in was easy. Cons: The carpeting was thin and torn, the water smelled, one of the beds was very hard and squeaked, the tv was tiny and the bathroom was so small that I had to squeeze by the shower to get to the toilet.
