Wonderful up north hotel. Felt just like hotels that we stayed in as children. A bit dated but clean and staff is friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a slick, high end hotel this isn't for you. You want comfort, up north feel with a chance to sit by the water and relax this is the place!

The property was on Lake Superior which was nice. The room was awful. Dirty carpet, no outlets to charge cell phones, and there wasn’t even a place to put the little coffee maker that could reach an outlet. The bathroom had a very tight access point to the shower which would not have worked if I had been bigger. The tub was a foot from the wall. The bottom of the acrylic tub was cracked and it felt like I was standing on a tub with rotted wood underneath. Breakfast was minimal. Plastic wrapped pastries that were not fresh, and coffee plus yogurt. This was not a good value for the price we paid.

Room we stay in was smelled strongly of damp. The curtains were also made up of 4 very thin panels so people could see in. The bed only had a sheet and they clearly expected you to use the bed cover to keep warm, which clearly is not changed every time they make up the room. I'm OK with outdated hotel rooms but expect it to be fresh and clean.

Beautiful view
Location is excellent! Room could use some updating and definitely could be cleaned better. We only stayed one night but, we loved that it was right on Lake Superior and had chairs for watching the sunset. Room advertised a Lake view which technically is true but, fails to mention you get that through the parking lot. We did like that it had a fridge, microwave, cooktop, dishes, pots and pans, ect. Would be great for longer stays. Would probably stay again but, price was a bit high.

The motel is old but in good repair. The room was clean, the view is nice. The AC was so loud we had to turn it off and the room was stuffy. There was an onion odor at the head of the bed. The prices for rooms in Munising are inflated I don't plan to stay in that area again

One of the most incredible views! So nice and peaceful right on the bay. The rooms are small and cramped, but relatively comfortable over all. Pricey for the lack of amenities.

This is an old motel, which has not been updated in any way. There was mold around the tub and shower, the king-size bed had queen-size sheets on it that didn't fit and slipped all over the place, the carpet was filthy, the A/C unit was incredibly old and loud. The "breakfast" consisted of pre-packaged rolls. There was a coffeemaker in the room but there was no coffee filter so we couldn't even make coffee. This entire experience was incredibly disappointing.
