We enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean the staff very helpful the beach view was beautiful the parking was adequate. The amenities made our stay very special. Highly recommend. It's a good value for the price. One of the great perks was having the Sheplers shuttle take us to the port to catch the ferry to Mackinac Island back!

The motel was clean and very quiet Rooms were a bit small and could have been better appointed, but overall the stay was good! We did not here any of our neighbors at any time. The managers were very helpful and kind. We enjoyed the beach area. Not crowded at all! We were a nice walk into town! This motel was so much better taken care of than surrounding hotels.
