Formerly lived in Munising, and to visit family. Knowing this is an older building, I was pleased with the accommodations. Our family of five and pup all had a comfortable place lay our heads. We loved the views of course. Things to note: You won’t find fancy in Munising. Be thankful for the locals making a living and trying to keep up with tourism. E kind to those you meet! Enjoy this place. It’s special!

Vacation travel

The proprietor of this motel was friendly and helpful. The room itself was clean and comfortable, for the most part. The bathroom was good-sized and had everything we needed. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and provided us a good night's sleep. The sofa was saggy, uncomfortable, and badly in need of replacement. We had a kitchen which was fairly decently appointed, though we did not use it for cooking meals. We had a lovely view of the bay and a balcony with decent chairs. What made our stay less comfortable was the stairway to our 2nd floor room. While the steps were sturdy, the stairway was in very bad repair overall, with broken or missing rubber treads and many protruding nails that could easily cause injury. With this stairway in its present condition, we would not recommend the second story of this property for anyone who is elderly and/or has mobility issues. Carrying our belongings up and down this stairway was a treacherous proposition at best. The cost of this room did not reflect its quality. This property warrants updating.

We stayed at the sunset house. There was peeling paint which is unsafe for children and the toilet seat was broken and the bathroom door lock was broken so you got stuck in bathroom all the time. I complained the first day but it never got fixed. Every time you went to the bathroom you would fall off the toilet. Not cool. Woman that worked there was very friendly and knowledgeable

This place is extremely dated and dirty. For $200 a night on a weeknight it's crazy that they've put no money into updating the rooms in no less than 30 years. The carpet is full of stains, the furniture from the 1980s, the linoleum in the bathroom is the only thing keeping the toilet from falling through the floor I am sure. The bathroom smells like piss, the room smells musty and rotten. The bed was not comfortable at all and the sheets were scratchy. The staff was super friendly but not much they can do about the fact that this place is just old and dirty.

Very Badly in need of updating and maintenance outside and in the rooms! Could use better cleaning. Beds were very uncomfortable. The motel does have a million dollar view - right on the lake and they have a lot of chairs on the grass in front to sit in and enjoy the view.

Pictured Rock Base camp

I travel a lot and although this is not a big name brand hotel I found this little motel 50 feet from Lake superior Shoreline an excellent place for a base camp location to explore pictured rock national Shoreline. We selected the double queen bedroom with the kitchen living area combo. The only downfall which is not the motels fault was the bridge which takes you back into town was being reconstructed thus far the road leading you back to town turned into a 20 minute car ride rather than 1 minute car ride. I would definitely stay at this motel again.
