My first impression was doubtful but once I was in the room I was impressed. It not a new hotel by any means but it’s in good shape and clean. The bathroom floor was sparkling clean. The bed was comfortable. The employee I spoke too was was wonderful

Basic but the view!!

3 night stay to be close to Picture Rock… The staff make this motel! Friendly and helpful. Motel is very dated but comfy. Like microwave and refrig in room. Plenty of parking. Construction makes finding this a challenge. Definitely the highlight to this motel is being right on the lake!! Lots of seating, BBQ grills and the sunsets don’t disappoint. I’d come back.

The setting is beautiful but the motel was falling apart so to speak. From the sheer paneled curtains that gave zero privacy with an ice machine outside our door, to a thermostat and bathroom ceiling falling off wall we were very disappointed. Old. And not cheap.

Old time hospitality. Property is dated but everything you need to be comfortable. Close to Pictured Rocks National Park trails and beach. Loved having a small kitchenette and sofa separated from the bedroom. Nice floor plan. This will be my choice if I get back to Munising.

The Expedia website for this property says there is daily housekeeping, which there is not. I was pretty disappointed to hear that upon arrival, since we were staying 4 nights.

Way over priced. Very old. I had trouble breathing because of mold. There was a pill of some kind on the floor. Poor lighting. Even outside sidewalk area was not swept or clean. The pictures are deceiving. I understand limited rooms in the area, but this was very overstated and disappointing. Especially for the price.

Excellent view of Lake Superior. Lots of sitting areas for enjoying the scenery. My husband and I played backgammon until it got too dark to see. We will cherish that memory. The room. Oh boy. Be prepared to accept very basic no frills. 75 years outdated. Two wall outlets. One in front room. One in bathroom. If you just need to sleep and u like to b by the water, u will b ok. Bring your own sheets. Just because you can get the corners of the sheet around the top of the mattress doesn't mean they fit.

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!
