Motel gem

I've never stayed in a motel with cuter decor. It may be older, but location (by water) and price point were great. Appreciated the fridge/microwave. Only wish there had been a way to get coffee or tea before the front desk opened at 8 am. We had to leave early and there were no options in the room itself.

Great location. The staff was very friendly and the hotel was cozy. Its clear that the owners have put a lot of work into upgrades. Had a great time watching the river and the boats coming in.
Kelly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Retro looking motel on the Manistee river. Simple but clean. Comfortable beds, larger refrigerator than most hotels, plenty of storage space in dresser and under the beds. Glider chairs and picnic table facing the river for nice view of the sunset. Close to downtown and Lake Michigan.

Nice location over looking the river. I would like a tv that is workable and a room with a glass so one can take a drink or brush their teeth.

Comfortable bed and a nice location. Nobody had took out the previous trash in the bathroom.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location

The location is perfect, close enough to downtown but a quiet location. Our room didn't have a walk out so we didn't have anywhere to sit outside. Rooms with walkouts have chairs, picnic tables and a bbq. Even in the room there was no where to sit but the bed. A chair or two would've been great. There was air conditioning, a fridge and microwave and the room was a good size.

6/10 Good

Not a bad place to stay, just not great. Photos show a nice pool but pool is actually out of service. Bed was very uncomfortable. Room was mostly clean and in a great location.
Sheri, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

For the cost of renting the room, there was limited space for fishing outside the sliding doors as description stated, unless you were hiring a charter. This was the sole reason that I rented the room was so my son and I could fish outside without having to drive around. Almost $300 for a room I feel like we could have did a lot better elsewhere I will not be renting again.

Great location/stay

Love the location. The motel rooms were updated and clean. The staff was very friendly and responsive. Would suggest a couple improvements that come with little expense. 1. Place a small chair in each room. 2. Place a bath mat in each room. 3. For our room, replace the towel bar (it appeared that it had fallen off) so the towels are not hanging on the assist bar next to the toilet. 4. Add some common area seating around the property, especially bar the river.

8/10 Very good

This hotel is in a great location with access to the boardwalk on the river and overlooking the river. It was in a great location to walk downtown to restaurants and shopping. On arrival, at 5:30 pm there was no staff at the hotel. Office was closed with my key left at the mailbox. Office was open at checkout the next morning. I don't think there was staff until the next morning. Which was fine but no chance to ask questions or get an extra towel etc. Limited amenities. The pool was closed for the season. Overall, I would stay again for the location. Basic, clean room!

The property brought back that nostalgia past! Very clean, beds comfortable! Walk out of your room to a small patio and sit on very nice rockers and stare out on the water and watch the boats go by! If you need all the amenities and outlets in all the rooms, not the place for you! If you want peace and to reflect this is your place! They are updating and working on the electrical! So.. more outlets to come! Trista in the office very sweet and helpful on places to eat! You do have to go to the office for your morning coffee! They are working on that! There are fridges and microwaves in the room! Highly recommend! Looking forward to our next stay!! I'm sorry the other host name has slipped my mind, didn't meet her but she kept us informed on what was going on!! Enjoy
