Hotel's Favorite
Great location to many of the waterfalls and hikes in this gorgeous area. Not far from town and Pictured Rocks cruise ship. Friendly, clean hotel and a wonderful breakfast too. Beautiful part of the country. Our fall drive was lovely. Waterfalls great.

A couple of miles outside of Munising. Very clean. They offered breakfast and did their best in COVID times. Great variety. I doubt the tables were 6 feet apart though.
Rooms are large, clean, comfortable. Linens were spotless and beds were comfy, not too soft not too hard.
Looks newly renovated.
Overall, would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at this conscientiously maintained motel We enjoyed the sizable hot tub after a day of hiking. Located in a large airy space, we were the only ones using it. The breakfast buffet was pretty standard. They request you not take food to the room but tables are spaced out and the use of hand sanitizer is required when you enter the dining room. It's a little outside of town, but still a good location to access area attractions.

This hotel seemed understaffed. We were told by the front desk that we couldn't exchange for clean towels until the housekeeper was there. We were told the housekeeper was there from 9 am -11:30 am and we would just need to find her in the hallway to exchange during that time period. This just isn't practical if, like us, you are there to hike and do activities that you need to get an early start for. Therefore we were unable to get clean towels because we were never at the hotel during those times. I understand that due to "Covid restrictions" housekeeping isn't allowed in the rooms, but I feel that the front desk should be able to get you what you need (clean towels, toilet paper, etc.) at any time. It's like that at any other hotel I've ever stayed in.
The breakfast was nothing special. The room was clean.

Thank you for staying with us. We are under staffed do to lack of no one wants to work. So we are taking care of the breakfast and you can get towels from the front desk anytime. It is if you need to exchange towels , because of sanitary reasons, you would give dirty towels to housekeepers collected . You totally misunderstood.

After reading the reviews my expectations were not very high. But when we pulled in, I was happy to see the property was kept up. Stepping inside the doors to check in the lobby was clean, no terrible smells like other reviews said. The woman checking us in, gave us information as to which restaurants to go to for good food in the area. The housekeeper was leaving for the evening, but was super friendly and welcomed us along with thanking us for staying with them. The hall going to our room was clean, and looked like it had been recently updated. Our room was nicely decorated, extremely clean. Along with the bathroom. I would definitely stay here again, if we ever make it back up that way. The only negative I would have would be, not having access to more washcloths or towels until the housekeeper comes in in the morning. Most hotels keep some behind the registration desk, if the housekeeper is gone for the day. But we waited a short time in the morning before going out sightseeing for housekeeping to come in, and we were able to get a few clean washcloths. The lady that was handling the breakfast crowd, was very friendly, on her toes with making sure the tables were clean and the food well stocked. They have the usual hotel breakfast. Wide assortment of choices. It was filling, easy to get in and eat and be on our way. I know everyone is short handed and overworked with the Covid thing, but the staff that is there does a great job. THANK YOU! We ENJOYED the two nights we stayed. Hot showers, clean beds, clean room and bathrooms!!

This facility had everything we needed including a spacious room with two queen beds, large refrigerator, microwave, and all the usual items in place. The place was clean and obviously had a recent renovation, with new carpeting, newly painted walls, and granite in the bathroom. However, for some reason I just didn’t feel like the renovation was done with good design in mind. The long internal halls in combination with beige and brown everywhere, somehow made the place feel depressing. In addition, some staff didn’t wear face masks as they worked to supply or clean in the breakfast room, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Spent one evening and it was adequate. It’s outside of the main drag in Munising. Staff was friendly and helpful. There are lots of signs within the hotel that add to its ambiance. There is no separate shampoo…it’s included with the automatic dispenser with the regular foam soap. If you like shampoo, be sure and pack some.

We drove up to this hotel and did not think we would be leaving a 5 star review. However this place was so clean and well cared for that we have to let you know you will be happy you stayed here. The breakfast is great (best waffles ever!!) and the housekeeping is very very good. It is not a fancy place, but the rooms and the bathrooms are very clean. The bed is comfy, and there is a nice sized fridge in the room (with a separate freezer) which really was great for storing and preparing our picnic lunches for all the amazing trails in the Pictured Rocks park. This location is great too - easy to get to the park and the trails, and also not far from Munising where you can get groceries and where the restaurants are located. A bonus is the hot tub (again very clean) which is a great way to end a day of hiking.

Terrible beds! Hard as a rock! No comfy chairs in the room. Had to wait till housekeeper came in to get any extra towels, toliet paper, or kleenex. The front desk wouldn’t give out any, and when you did wait for housekeeper, to get the towels or washcloths, you had to give them your dirty ones first and they gave you the exact amount back. Staff except one housekeeper (didn’t catch her name) were unfriendly. Free breakfast was a joke! No protein offered at all! Definitely would not stay here again!

Thank you for staying at our hotel. Sorry you didnt like the beds ...they are not hard at all. We get people all the time asking where to purchase our mattresses. Front desk does give you towels , but to exchange has to be done anytime after 9 when housekeepers are here. Due to the state order we are not allowed to enter guest rooms for stay overs, so we tell you at with the housekeepers in morning at 9 am to exchange dirty towels or if you need tp or take your garbage. This way we keep track of our linen. We offer a good breakfast. We have waffles and sausage and hard boiled eggs, breakfast sandwiches you heat up. We have yogurts and apples and cuties and apple sauce, cereals including oatmeal , and orange juice and apple juice , coffees , teas , hot chocolate, 2 different kinds of bagels and english muffins, cinn rolls , assorted danish, donuts , assorted muffins. Not sure what protein you want.

It's a bit away from the downtown area, but clean and remodeled (not like many of the pictures). Normally they serve a nice breakfast with eggs and meat but with the coronavirus, it's more limited. Still, there was good coffee, made to order waffles, yogurt, mini muffins, granola bars, apples and tangerines. The refrigerator in the room was larger than most and had a freezer. We were happy with the accommodations other than the high humidity in the room that apparently the a/c unit was unable to help with.
