The room seemed clean but room deodorizer spray was a little overwhelming. And they missed the microwave. Some one had blew up something in there. Honest mistake I guess but makes me wonder what else they missed. Extremely friendly employees at the store for checking and purchases.

This place was just literally a long storage shed looking trailer carpets were gross water has this rotten eggs smell and the shower was not pleasant, but I made use of it used a towel there and instantly got red hair in my mouth and on the body. Other then that it was clean, very close by to all attractions and sites if you needed somewhere quick to go here is your place

This is a low budget place to stay and fits the bill for that. Rooms are outdated and falling apart (literally-the ceiling tiles look like they could come down on the bed at any time). Room was clean. Staff next door was very unpleasant and wouldn’t even look up from their personal phone call to ask if we needed help. For the area it’s one of the cheaper options if you just need a place to stay for the night.

I loved how quiet it was at night. Room was clean and well stocked, but carpets were so dirty they felt rubbery. Still a good stay.

Poor Condition and Dirty

The positives: we had a late check-in and the receptionist was very friendly and left the key in the room for us. It was easy to find and conveniently located. The not-so-positives: We had low expectations, just needed somewhere to sleep and shower on a road trip. This still failed to meet our expectations... There was 'gunk' on the walls, bedskirt, and sink. There was trash in the can. The bedspread was extremely stained. There was hair in the shower. The soap on the sink looked used (it was open). The blinds on the window were broken leaving large gaps. The bed was rock hard and the pillows were very flat and lumpy. There were lots of holes (patched and not) in the walls. There was a snowmobile map thumbtacked to the wall falling down.... just general disrepair. I would not recommend staying here, you're better off sleeping in your car...

Good Location But Not Nice

Pros: Good location right off the highway - about 10 miles to Munising. Good communication before visit and check in was easy. Cons: The carpeting was thin and torn, the water smelled, one of the beds was very hard and squeaked, the tv was tiny and the bathroom was so small that I had to squeeze by the shower to get to the toilet.

Good enough

Room was clean, but carpet was old and ripped, and overall, would not have stayed here if I saw it in advance. Had to check in a gas station next door, they seemed confused by the process. Was good enough for a one night stay, but glad to be out the next morning.
