Disliked: Amenities
The people we saw at the front desk were nice and helpful. The people who spoke to me on the phone were very nasty! The lication was handy for taking the ferry. That was our purpose. This is a rather old motel with nothing special sbout it. Really quite expensive for what it is.
Hotel was clean had a refrigerator,
beds was confortable, friendly and helpful staff.

Adequate
Generally clean. (Mould in bathroom.) Bare bones dorm-style particleboard furniture and plain decor. We think this was a handicap room, as sink and toilet were both very low to ground, but no grab bars were on the bathroom walls. (?) The sink was plumbed backwards. So it served the purpose, but would not stay here again if other options were available.
A little outdated room , but comfortable and clean , the heather ac works but it honestly needs to be upgraded as well as the toilet , nice place , but as a fellow traveler you should know this is your bare , basic hotel , yet very clean and friendly staff .
When we got to the room the lights didn’t work. Room service came and the lights were unplugged under the bed and behind the headboard. Turned on tv and couldn’t chance channels. Called room service they came back. Took remote held it a foot from tv and said battery’s must be weak and left.
It was convenient to ferry docks and restaurants. It looked clean at first glance. The bathroom was clean. Then I saw webs in the corners with insects caught in them. The second night I saw a cockroach in the coffee maker. Ugh. The staff was shocked when I reported it. Said it was a first.
Very clean and quiet. Our tv needed two remotes. We had only one. The gal at the desk tried to get one for us. But there wasn’t one to be found. They need a better tv set up!! They allowed us to keep our vehicle in their lot for free while we went out to Mackinac Island. They called a shuttle for us. Very nice.
