We spent two nights here. It was a wonderful stay. Walking distance to the Ferry to Mackinac Island. Our room was very clean, comfortable beds, clean bathroom and nice hot shower. Highly recommend and would stay again if we get back up there again.

Basic, older motel but somewhat updated. Clean, comfortable, friendly owner, convenient location to ferry and restaurants.

This is an old-school motel that we always stay at when in St. Ignace. Don't let the outside looks fool you. Even though it looks outdated, the rooms are very spacious, clean, and comfortable.

Very quiet, clean and comfortable. Could have used a towel rack in the bathroom - no place to hang our hand towel. The location was perfect to catch the ferry to Mackinac Island. (The asthetics regarding the grass around the building needed to be taken care of.) Other than that, we'd stay again.

This motel was exceptionally comfortable and spotlessly clean. Although I had driven past it numerous times, I had not given it much attention. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I needed a last-minute booking. I would highly recommend this motel, especially considering the cost savings associated with booking here.
