I had the pleasure of staying at this inn for 3 nights while taking some personal R and R time. I have tried others in this area and Microtel is the best hands-down. Their staff is terrific and very knowledgeable of sights and activities in the area. Microtel is a great jumping off point to see the attractions the area... More

My room was small but comfortable. Quiet nice place, could use to be updated and maybe a little better repair in some places. Friendly staff. Great value for the price.

We have stayed here the past 3 years during part of our vacation in Michigan. This Microtel is both CLEAN and well managed. After staying here, we tried a few other Microtel's (one was in Holland Michigan) and they did not measure up to this one at all. This one was just recently known as the "Big River Inn" and... More

We stay at this Microtel several times a month and are always very satisfied with the cleanliness and friendly staff. Rates are very fair. Continental breakfast bar is always clean and orderly. Great coffee, too, for those late nights when returning from the casino down the road! Highly recommend this motel. Also casino shuttle to/from Microtel is a plus.

Stayed here for a work event at the Little River Casino, just three miles up the road. Had a double room, two queens. Room was adequate, very clean, bathroom included. No hairdryer (really?!?) The bed one of the most comfortable I have slept in away from home, and this is saying a lot. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Had... More

This hotel looks quite new and nice, but the traveler should be aware that the rooms are tiny, spartan, and unappealing. An immediate tip to the type of clientele this Inn expects to cater to (if that word could be used) is found in the "signs" posted for the "guests". These signs remind you to observe basic niceties such as... More

There seemed to be a lack of decent hotels in the area, so stayed here strictly due to its proximity to the Big M in the Manistee National Forest, participated in the North Country Run Ultra(50 mile). Don't understand how anyone could find this hotel to be anything but terrible, then again people have different perspectives on what clean, comfortable,... More

To be fair, I'll list the good attributes first.... the public areas and rooms are VERY clean, and bed was comfortable. The price was good, BUT beware with the low price you get no coffee maker, no hair dryer, and in my case, I understood our room to have a mini-fridge, which it did not. (We needed this for my...

When we arrived in Manistee late at night, tired and not sure of where the hotel was I wasted 45 min. looking for Big River Inn. No one in town knew where it was so we stopped at Days Inn to get a room. Told the clerk our saga and she was kind enough to call Microtel and check for... More

Lets just say, I let the hubby book this one. I was surprised there was no refrigerator, no hair dryer and the towels were almost see through. A very small room with two rambunctious kids was not fun at all. The ice maker on the first floor did not work. Had to travel to the third floor to get ice.... More
