Cottage was very clean and the staff pleasant. We were able to walk to town, which had many restaurants and walking past to the harbor. Highly recommend this place.

It was a short walking distance to eating places and shopping area. Cottage room was cozy, quiet and enough space for what we needed. For our cottage, the air conditioning system worked and kept the room cool. However, when in AC mode, the AC unit would be loud. It was expected fan noise when using fan mode. The noise was OK during the day as we were out most of the day. However, it was too loud for sleep purposes. Would suggest replacing the AC unit (cottage #23). Also, the TV worked but navigating the cable channels was not clear. Would suggest providing instructions as to what is available and how to navigate the channels. Again, we were out most the day, so it was not a big issue.

My husband and I found the Blue Spruce Motel to be perfect for our long weekend stay in Port Austin. Easy walking distance to everything in town, and to the beach. Our room was clean, there was not a single thing to complain about. Pool was clean…we did not jump in but we did sit a while with our feet in, relaxing.

A great spot for an overnight visit to Port Austin. I was more than impressed by how clean everything was. The internet, however, did not work for us. I wasted lots of time trying to get on and work with it and ended up getting much better service with my phone's hotspot.

I really don’t understand why this is rated at a 8.2 . The room smelled musty ,no WiFi that actually worked ,the pillows /bed so uncomfortable! Oh and the sheets didn’t even fit the bed properly! Office so tiny ! I guess if your a last minute type people like us it works … I personally wouldn’t stay here again though !
