Cabin was clean, but beds weren’t so great. Mattresses were pretty hard. Also, a small table, or even a chair would have nice to put things on. All that was in the room was one small nightstand for only one of the two beds. Be aware that Hotels.com makes it look like you are booking an actual motel room, with an 11am checkout, however we were given a cabin, with instructions that cabin check was 10am. Didn’t think that was too cool

Very cute and small little cabin with the basics. Incredibly walkable to downtown! The port Austin Farmers market was awesome and the Inn and restaurant across the street played live music at night. Clean room and friendly Staff!

Clean and Cozy

Check-in is always super quick, we’ve stayed here a few times and will definitely be back. The rooms are nice and cozy and very clean ! I love that there’s hot water for showers. We’ve used the pool in the past and it’s very clean as well.

Reasonably priced and friendly staff; however, this hotel seems to be a friend to cannabis users; so if that’s an issue with you, you may want to look elsewhere.

It was a short walking distance to eating places and shopping area. Cottage room was cozy, quiet and enough space for what we needed. For our cottage, the air conditioning system worked and kept the room cool. However, when in AC mode, the AC unit would be loud. It was expected fan noise when using fan mode. The noise was OK during the day as we were out most of the day. However, it was too loud for sleep purposes. Would suggest replacing the AC unit (cottage #23). Also, the TV worked but navigating the cable channels was not clear. Would suggest providing instructions as to what is available and how to navigate the channels. Again, we were out most the day, so it was not a big issue.

My husband and I found the Blue Spruce Motel to be perfect for our long weekend stay in Port Austin. Easy walking distance to everything in town, and to the beach. Our room was clean, there was not a single thing to complain about. Pool was clean…we did not jump in but we did sit a while with our feet in, relaxing.
