This was a beautiful property in which the owner, Retro Rob, has done everything right to make your stay welcoming and relaxing. The rooms are simple but you have everything you could need and more. And you can use the $1 bus service, the Interurban, to go all over Saugatuck/Douglas.

Great stay, this was our first time in a motel in over 20 years. Rob’s service is amazing, he helped answer any of our questions and we had a great conversation! Our room was cozy and clean! We didn’t use the pool due to the weather but it looked nice and warm. Would definitely recommend a stay and would come back here again!
