Beautiful scenery around the hotel, but not much else within walking distance. Carla was very friendly and helpful in finding local restaurants. The room was ok with a 1980's hotel feel. The only significant downside was that that internet and wifi transmitters were terrible, it would only stay connected for about 3 minutes before kicking me off ,and during that time the Internet speed was equivalent to dial up, making it unusable.

Old Timey Roadside Charmer!

What a great little motel! If you've ever felt the tug of nostalgia about staying at a true mom & pop roadside motel like the ones that we used to have in the US, this is the place to stay at! It was like stepping back into the 1970s....except for the flat screen TV....the old wrought-iron bed....the wooden nightstands...dinette table with wooden chairs....this is what I remember hotels along route 66 being like back in the day! Just a few miles from town, and directly across the street from the bay (do NOT MISS sunrise! It was glorious!) this was the perfect way to be secluded in comfort on our road trip tour of the UP. Clean, super reasonable price, quiet, easy to get to....not a single negative to report. Coffee maker, big refrigerator, microwave, all the needs met. Lots of hot water too! This little GEM of a motel is now on my permanent list of where to stay when we are back in the UP! The nightstand even had a PHONE BOOK...talk about a blast from the past! They even provided a box fan for white noise sleeping like a rock! The air conditioner blew cold too. Screen door on entrance so you can sleep with the main door open if you wanted to. Hats off to the owners! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Overpriced for what you get.

When I rate these hotels I always consider the value proposition. In other words does it fit the cost I pay. This room cost more than I typically pay for a 4 star hotel and yet the list of what was classified as a dump is pretty long. For starters the room was sagging towards the woods. That’s right. Not level. So slanted the bathroom door would not stay open. Lawn and weeds growing up everywhere. The outdoor office filled with junk. No electrical outlet in the bathroom. Light switches in odd places. Room furniture coming apart. This was a “dump” to say the least and I could look past some of this if the rate was affordable. But rooms in this area go for $400+ a night so $166 which is what we paid I guess is the bottom end. Just be prepared to sleep at a slant / angle.

Nice view of Lake Superior. The room is very outdated. The floor is not level, extension cords all over and needs a complete remodel. The outside of the property needs some serious repair in more than one area. The ladder someone complained about months ago is still there. A carpenter needs to be hired to finish repairs. Overall we would not stay there again. If we had our car instead of a motorcycle, we would have slept in the car.

I did not check out the area when I was booking the place. When I arrived, I did not see an office to go into. I saw a sign that said to call the manager. I asked how I could get in. She had an envelope with my last name pinned to a bulletin board. I was surprised because I saw two other envelopes with names on them. I thought that would not be secure at all. If you are worried about security, I would not recommend this place. I asked if there was any place to eat around here. She spoke about a hotel restaurant, a Casino restaurant, and a pizzeria that was six miles away. There was also gas station food. The place only offered a room with a refrigerator and a small microwave. The bathroom was clean, but I was surprised to see a sign that said, " Please hold the handle until the toilet flushes completely! THANKS. I have never had this sign at any hotel or motel before. They had a plastic packet for the shampoo and conditioner together. It did not tear easily and required me to cut it with scissors or bite it open. I ended up biting it open. They also provided a miniature soap about 1.25", .75", and .25". It seemed very small, but it worked. The shower was a step-in shower that was about 30" square. They do not have a bathtub if you are interested in that. I was looking for the thermostat, and when I saw it, it only seemed to set up to heat. Because we are up north, I knew at night it would cool down outside. The screen window was open and a box fan.

Nice quiet hotel

I do not usually leave reviews but we stayed here last year and it was a nice place to stay so when we got the chance to go to Keweenaw area again I booked it for this year. It is a older hotel as you can see in the pictures but Carla is super nice and helpful. It is a family business and you can contact Carla if you need anything. The rooms are clean and nice inside and has everything you need. It is a nice quiet pretty setting with the water right across the road. I would definitely recommend staying there, we will when we are in the area again.

A very tourist-friendly motel – we booked the place online, and an envelope with our name was pinned to the information board, with the room key inside :) In the morning, a breathtaking sunrise. We saw it through the window, but… we stepped outside and were left speechless. The photo was taken right outside the door.
