We have stayed here before but this time the carpet was stained and dirty. The bedspreads also had stains. There was a big pile of garbage sitting outside one of the rooms and part of the roof was flapping in the wind. I think this was our last time staying here.

Game on loud ass Lisa.

Im pretty sure the neighbor was a lady of the night or "working girl" if you will. I couldnt sleep due to loud moaning all night. It was annoying until Harold ajd i decided to one up her and i really let loose. Talk about amazing sleep. Rocked me right to sleep. I wanna go back tongiht. The butlers nice but i wish they had breakfast or snack. The butler was the only snack within 5 miles as this is in bfe. Go now. You won't be disappointed

The room was dirty. We found socks on the floor by the bed. The fridge and microwave were dirty. The shower curtain was gross and you couldn't take a proper shower anyway, due to the water not draining properly.

The management was nice. We got a little spooked at check-in (after dark) since the property is in the country, when Michigan state police showed up shining their flashlight on us as we were unloading the car and asked if it was our car with the trunk open then they took off with their spotlight on their vehicle. The beds were clean but hard and we didn't sleep well. We had to take cold showers because a pipe busted and we had no hot water in our room. The shower was not so great anyway and the bathroom door wouldn't stay closed. The manager did offer to let us have access to a different room across the lot to shower but we passed. We were only there one night and just wanted to get ready and get out of there. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Good enough

Had to wait 40 minutes for someone to open ‘office’ just to check in. Room was ok, floor was a bit stained and looked dirty. Bathroom fan was very loud. Heat worked well and bed was comfy. Good location, close to Frankenmuth and Saginaw. Good price as well.

We mostly were happy with the quaint little country vibe motel. The only downside was our bathroom door would not completely close (put a towel against the inside of the door to hold closed) and the water didnt get very hot. Otherwise, it worked well for us and was decently updated and clean. Good deal for the price, especially with the proximity to Frankenmuth and Birch Run

8.3 Rating is completely wrong! This is a roadside motel, left over from the 1950s. To be fair, the room has been modernized and was very comfortable. BUT, it is still an outdated motel. It appears to be a one-man operation. Bathroom was dirty and hair in the drain. Noise from the next room was extremely loud, kids yelling and playing music. They finally quit.

Property manager was incredibly polite and worked with us on a late check in. The inn was cozy and quiet. It was just off the beaten path to stay away from the crowds of Frankenmuth but close enough to drive in and visit. Awesome pricing and wonderful customer service!
