Reviews from travelers who stayed here in the last 12 months, grouped to help you spot the pattern quickly.
Room was large and clean, newer carpet, some bathroom upgrades, but otherwise not really upgraded. Bed comfortable. AC/heat worked well, although AC remote didn't. Very friendly manager. The WiFi connected but no internet even though the manager rebooted; apparently a temporary issue with the hotel's cable. They could use more plugs in the room. There was coffee in the room and also in the hall shared by 4 "deluxe" rooms upstairs on the 2nd floor. The soap was econo but I'm shocked by the reviewer that went out and bought their own. No shampoo. Good water flow in the shower though. The price was fair for this walkable location into a high price town. Easy parking.
Perfect spot for the low maintenance traveler. If you’re looking for a clean room and bathroom and basic amenities this is your place. Soft sheets, comfy bed, mini fridge and a 6 cup coffee maker! Super sweet manager onsite was kind and helpful. Again, if you’re looking for fancy this isn’t your place. But if you just need a place to sleep and recharge without spending a lot of money, this is your spot.
We had an upstairs room that was clean and comfortable. The water faucet handles were backward (hot water on the right instead of the left), which took a minute to get used to . The staff was friendly! This motel is conveniently located and was easy to find on our first trip to Charlevoix! We would stay here again!
I would stay here again 100% they clearly care and take care of their property! I stayed here like a week ago with my 1yr old and boyfriend and the staff was super friendly! The only down part of our room was we wish there would have been extra trash bags because we stayed 3 nights and I felt bad for leaving trash that didn’t fit in those in a fast food bag! But other than that still 5 stars loved our visit!
Website says the prices for October to December is $60-$150 a night. But was charged $200 + tax - for Saturday, October 14th. Asked upon reservation to have extra body towels and asked again when we arrived. Never got them. We were a late arrival, but was told that they would be to us by morning. Refrigerator didn't keep our food cold we were traveling with. Plus was the room was clean and the beds were comfy.
Kitschy place as described by others: very clean, lovely front desk person, comfy bed. All the basics at a price 1/3 of hotels in the area. Close to downtown, very quiet.
My husband and I were house shopping in the area. We loved our stay here! Thanks Gracie for taking such good care of us:) Great pet- friendly spot for travelers. If you have dogs that like to swim, check out Ferry Beach which is just a short drive around the corner.
Great location for a golf trip! These rooms are cozy with wonderful amenities! We had the best coffee and was able to walk to all of our evening dinners! Definitely will be back with my golf group!
