Great motel!

This motel is really nice and so close to a 5 star. But they need a little more investment in basic stuff like paint and drywall. I'd come back for sure - I just want to see them cross the finish line. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, service was great.

We stayed in a one queen bed room. It was small, but nice. Outdated, but clean. Check-in was easy and staff was nice. Cute motel. Really no complaints. Would stay again.

Very adequate motel room, price was right. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Only complaint was that it smelt like they bleached the entire room before we arrived, but I guess that is preferred over a stinky room. Would also recommend bringing your own TP because you get what you pay for. Great central location between the lake and the downtown area, walkable to both. Made for a nice stay in Manistee, would be open to staying there again in the future.

Great location right on the channel, many rooms have sliders with a walkout patio and chairs overlooking the channel, also within walking distance to the beach and downtown.

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.

Good for a short stay

Motel backs above the river. If possible get a room with a patio facing the river. Our room was fine. Microwave and frig. Bathroom was in the process of being remodeled. What was done was lovely. Very nice family owner. Has an outdoor pool and is pet friendly. Good location.

Our stay was a good one. The room was no frills but very clean. The staff were open and friendly. We had a slider and was able to enjoy watching the boats come and go as we drank out coffee in the morning. Seems that they cater to fisherman, who can dock in there marina. As a result, the property was quiet. When we travel we look for places like this so we can travel about. If you like a clean, quiet place, give this place a good look.
