Super clean bathroom and sleeping area. The exterior is a throwback to the 60s motorcourt era but that hides a modern, comfortable room. The manager/owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to our friends.

The pictures on the website should be updated as the rooms are really nice and modern. St Ignance town center is within walking distance, as are the ferry docks.

The front desk person was very nice and gave us suggestions on where to eat and what to visit during our stay, and let us know about the Saturday night fireworks. The hotel is older, so smelled a little musty when we first went in, but once the a/c was on, it seemd to go away. It was a nice sized room, with a fridge, microwave, tv and small table to sit at.

Very basic room with dated furnishings that somehow look brand new. Everything was spotless. Great bed and cable selections. No breakfast. Security is an issue, as they still use old-style keys you insert into the doorknob instead of the deadbolt, making it easy for someone to jimmy when you're out of the room.

We spent two nights here. It was a wonderful stay. Walking distance to the Ferry to Mackinac Island. Our room was very clean, comfortable beds, clean bathroom and nice hot shower. Highly recommend and would stay again if we get back up there again.
