Great place to stay.
Definitely would stay again. Liked everything about the room but the bed. The mattress was a bit hard for me and I didn’t sleep well but still wouldn’t stop us from staying there again.

A small beautiful motel away from the crowded city. But close enough to be considered Gaylord. The rooms were clean, manager was nice, they had a nice TV and bed plus a fridge. Everything I needed really. I will stay here again for sure. There’s only a few rooms. So not all noisy!! 9/10!

Wonderful and quaint motel. Bob, the owner is kind and caring. Everything is clean and mostly updated while maintaining its rustic up north charm. The bathroom is really small, while adequate, but very difficult to maneuver around. It didn’t ruin the trip, but something to note for families or tall visitors.

Rock hard bed.
Two things. One actually cannot be helped. That’s the bathroom. You can barely turn around in the shower and if you bend forward on the toilet you smack your head into the wall. But on thing that truly ruined the night was the mattress that was so hard I was in pain all night long. It should have been changed out years ago.

We really wanted to like this motel. They accommodated us with an early check in and Bob was very gracious. Unfortunately, the room was very dark. We had every light on in the place but it was still gloomy. The bed needed a new mattress, the chairs were comfortable for about 5 minutes, and the air conditioner was not functioning to cool the room down. Because the room was so stuffy, we departed for the next leg of our trip at 5 am.

This cute hotel was perfect, homey and very very clean. We will be staying again. We were much happier than a stay in Grayling at larger chain hotel that was disgustingly dirty and more expensive. Bob is an excellent host. Thanks Bob!
Cute
Also microwave and refrigerator
Homey
