Fall Color Tour

We stayed two nights as part of a fall color trip. As always the hotel was clean. Our stay was good. The location of this hotel is perfect, great jumping off point for all your UP day trips. Not that this is a big deal, but the receptionist who checked us in was wearing sweatpants, a little unprofessional if you ask me. However that did not have any bearing on how good our stay was.

The rooms are a good size with a big bathroom. There is a table with 2 chairs, a couple seats outside too, and the mic/fridge are a great bonus. Room was immaculately clean when we arrived. Motel is near the ferry terminal which is nice as well

Only one thing that my daughter or I didn't like was the bed was bouncy and uncomfortable. Other than that everything else was good. Oh and even though breakfast wasn't included the restaurant next door was delicious 😋 Rooms were clean.
