Very nice sitting area and bedroom, 2 nice size TVs, area out back nice but hot tub not available. Basic breakfast but ok. Only bad thing to say is the pocket door in bathroom has a lock that jams and I spent 5 minutes trying to get it open

This was our third stay here, everything was great as our previous stays. Clean room, comfortable bed, enjoy the area in the rear yard behind the rooms. Will stay again next year!

Great overnight stay

Great overnight stay on our way to northern Michigan. We loved that we were able to park in front our room. Our room was so comfortable and clean. Comfortable bed, clean bathroom. It is a small room, but there was plenty of room to put bags for overnight. Loved the coffee maker, bottled water, and even a couple bags of snacks. It was nice and quiet. The door to the beautiful patio was through the bathroom and easy to access. There was a continental breakfast, muffins, bagels, coffee, the usual for a quick grab and go. We would definitely stay again should we visit again.

Nice simple place to stay

Neat and tidy but would suggest paper towels and disinfectant for tables in breakfast room for personal use since room is not monitored. Definitely a basic stay which met our needs perfectly.

Ths was the smallest room i have ever stayed in! There were no luggage stands to place suitcases. We had to open them on the floor and use them from their. The room lacked hooks to hang towels, clothes, toiletries bags, etc. The motel is located right on the Blue Star Highway, so the road noise was evident. The place was not staffed, so there was no one there to ask questions, request an upgrade, get more tissues, etc. The "continental breakfast" was a joke. Cheerios or Raisin Bran, milk, toast, and high fructose "juice" drinks. No hard boiled eggs, no fruit, no danishes, no decaf coffee, (which really pissed me off). We paid $120 per night for 2 nights here and it was way over-priced! This is a $75 per night motel. Will not go back and do not recommend.

The back deck was beautiful however the landscape was very poor. We didn't have an opportunity to use the hot tub due to it closing so early. Our room was VERY clean. They are small but we didn't plan on spending time in the room. We were gone all day wining and dining. We would definitely stay again.

Blue Star Motel was amazing! We stayed in the apartment and it was fabulous to have a full kitchen, coffee maker and nice living area to hang in. Also, the hot tub and fire pit were awesome! We enjoyed all the amenities while being so close to downtown Sagatuck and Douglas, which means endless shopping, wine, art and restaurants! Stay here!
