Location is facing the lake , it’s a nice view. A little far from the populated places if you’re looking for more restaurant options , you have to drive a bit. The staff is great and breakfast is good , there’s no waffles tho. The hiking and riding trails are really close , the lake is literally everywhere. I would stay again, they are remodeling too so it’s sounds like it’ll be great when they’re done.

Very clean property, very clean rooms. Freshly remodeled and the price was excellent and the staff was extremely helpful. Plus there's a great restaurant next door to get breakfast, lunch or dinner. And they purchased the property across the street.So they have their own beach right on the lake, As well, plus a sauna on the beach.

We really enjoyed all the renovations to this location— so happy that someone has finally invested in sprucing up accommodations in the UP. Every year we come through this area and have always had to put up with dumpy accommodations because there is nothing nice to pick from. So BRAVO to the Manistique Sands!

Our newly-renovated rooms were great! The breakfast area in the lobby was quite small, but still appreciated. The indoor pool was refreshing and having it open late into the evening was great - it will be better when the hot tub becomes functional. The staff was very helpful and responsive by text messages. Great location and hope the renovations continue to be as good. We managed fine without an elevator, but that may be a concern for some people with 2nd floor rooms.

Upstairs rooms were newly renovated and quite nice. They had only been open a week so tough to rate because they were still renovating the lower rooms. The breakfast wasn’t much but still better than nothing. We weren’t there long enough to use the pool but the hot tub was out of order. Overall rooms were nice, and would stay there again.

The room was newly renovated and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The location in general was very good and our view of lake Michigan was pretty cool. The pool looked nice although we didn't use it. We really wanted to use the hot tub but it was not operating. The staff was friendly and there was a nice little free continental breakfast in the lobby. The Roku TV was a bit complicated (for streaming) but we ended up figuring it out; I imagine that some folks wouldn't have been able to.

A Hidden Gem on Lake Michigan My boyfriend and I recently spent a night at Manistique Sands, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. At first glance, it looks like a traditional older motel, but once you step inside, you'll find immaculately renovated rooms that are modern, spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully updated. Our Lakeview King Room overlooked the property's private access to Lake Michigan, providing beautiful views and a peaceful setting. One detail we especially appreciated was the décor. The walls featured stunning photographs of local landmarks, including Kitch-iti-kipi and the Manistique East Breakwater Lighthouse, which helped create a true Upper Peninsula experience. The staff were outstanding. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and genuinely interested in making our stay enjoyable. Hospitality like that makes a lasting impression. The complimentary grab-and-go breakfast was simple, but it was convenient and much appreciated before getting back on the road. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, affordable place to stay in Manistique with great customer service and easy access to Lake Michigan, we highly recommend Manistique Sands. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area.

This hotel is currently under construction, so the property reflects that. The room, however, was PERFECT! So updated and clean. We requested extra pillows and they brought them right up. The view of Lake Michigan was pretty, despite the rain we had. They did have a grab-and-go breakfast option but we walked right next door to three seasons cafe for breakfast and it was amazing. We only needed accommodations for one night but the bed was perfect and location was ideal for our trip. It’s only about 15 minutes from Kitch-Iti-Kipi, which was on our itinerary for our anniversary trip!

Loved our stay! Extremely helpful staff! Messages me with bike trails - Christine, places to visit - Megan, checking on how’s everything- Rebecca. Young gentleman in the morning was restocking breakfast for us, everything was fresh and perfect. Room was very clean, towels white and soft, bedding crispy clean, pillows on the harder side but I like it. If you travel with kids, there is a pool. Beach across the street, boardwalk with lighthouse. Christine recommended to visit Big Spring, I’m so glad we did, 20 minutes away, worth seeing! Pictured Rock only 50 minutes away but weather is 20 degrees cooler, so I’m glad we stayed here. The Restaurant next door, 3 Seasons , is absolutely perfect! Close by, fresh fish, delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, reasonable prices and staff is super nice. Thank you, great place, highly recommend! Btw, I rarely write reviews.
