Staff was very friendly. The restaurant next door (I think owned by the same people) was great. Awesome breakfast menu but did have a wait to be seated on Sunday because they were so busy. That’s a sign of a popular place.

Everything was great. Except for the RUDE guy at the front desk. He was very RUDE, when a question was asked. He seemed more interested with the phone call than helping us with the shuttle. The motel advertised tickets for Mackinac Island. They were out. I get it, it's the end of the season. Take it off the sign. False advertisement.
