A great economical choice for a night or two

We were fairly happy. The only down side was the walls are so thin you can hear the neighbors conversation and the TVs we laughably tiny. Beyond that it was clean and everything worked. The staff in the store was outstanding...every one of them. We stayed 2 night and would not hesitate to stay again. The minor inconveniences are more than a fair trade off for the price.

It is close to Munising/ Pictured Rocks, just a short scenic drive away on M28. It is a short walk to Au Train beach on Lake Superior. The carry-out pizza restaurant Northwoods across the street has delicious pizza. The grocery store next to this motel has delicious meat pasties.

We had an amazing stay! This is an older motel with lots of charm - exactly what we're looking for when we come to the beautiful U.P. of Michigan! There's a few things that need minimal work but the owner is on it!! The grills provided were a huge plus for us! A fire pit, (wasn't advertised but is available) cleaning lady is SUPER friendly & helpful, as is the staff at the gas station -convenience store literally steps away! The bathrooms are very small but again, not a problem for us. The beach is beyond beautiful and endless! ⚠️ The aroma of the pasties wafting in the air each morning brings on a ferocious appetite! Fred, the owner is just out of this world WONDERFUL to work with!!! The entire area is just beautiful and has the friendliest people ever!!! We booked 2 rooms for 3 days, 1 for one day and extended one of the two bedrooms (which is actually two bedrooms with doors that close) for an extra night to continue exploring. AuTrain has MUCH less traffice than Munising or Marquette (which are both beautiful & worth venturing to) that we had a much quieter, more relaxed visit with everything and more to offer than the more populated areas. I'd suggest lock boxes with codes for keys for those arriving late. Wasn't a problem for us but an elderly woman was a little confused. Also, book direct - not through expedia, etc. Better rates & GREAT service! Thank you, Fred & ALL the staff at AuTrain Motel for an absolutely wonderful stay!!! We'll definitely be back!!!

This is the type of property I would have expected in the UP in the 1950s. Unfortunately it has never moved on or been updated. It does have all the basics and sufficed for one night's stay in a convenient location.

We loved our stay here. Not luxurious but basic clean, comfortable rooms at a good price. Excellent value! Very close to the Au Train beach and adjacent grocery, and an easy drive to Munising.

The appearance of the property is very poor. Looks like little or no upkeep outside. The water was not drinkable. The interior had an odor. It did look clean inside. I believe I could have found a much nicer place to stay in Munising for a few mor dollars. I'm surprised Expedia has this motel on their site. Definitely do not recommend. I booked for another couple also--was very embarrassed when I drove up.

Book if last resort

It was cheap. Very basic. Outside needed some work. Not the hotels fault but hotels.com charged a 30.00 fee which was not stated until i was checking in. The hotel was 75 bucks plus tax...i paid about 112.00
