Fay's Motel is a small, independently owned property at the north edge of town, and is very clean and well run. It's right across the street from the Grayling Bicycle Turnpike, which is nice for walking, running, or biking out of town to clear the I-75 road hum from your head.

The friendly, helpful owners, Sandy and Keith, have planted lots of beautiful flowers and set out lawn chairs and a glider behind the rooms. They let us put our bicycles (and other guests motorcycles and a boat) in a large garage. The rooms have A/C and cable TV and coffeemakers, and microwaves and mini-refrigerators. There are also discounts for guests at several local restaurants. Sandy has a beautiful salt water aquarium at the motel office. It's our favorite place to spend a night on long trips home from the Upper Peninsula.
