Good for the money
Pros:

Michigan city inn wasn't accessible. No entrance visible. However the comfort inn which was the building to the south seemed to be connected and honored my prepaid room and I stayed at comfort inn instead. I really liked the room layout the bedding was very comfy and the staff were accommodating to my needs and gave me an extra 30 minutes to shower quickly and check out as I was away from the hotel since early in the morning working nearby.

Cons:

Michigan city inn has no clear lobby or place to check in. Rooms look like some people are living there.

Only a fair quality - but a reasonable price...
Cons:

The place is presently in a state of flux and repairs...a bit run down, but perhaps management is slowly sprucing the place up. Our room WAS clean and reasonably spacious. The lobby had various implements/"works in process" stuff in there - and nobody was awaiting you at the front desk (obviously, they're running a VERY lean staff). We had to telephone them from the number at the desk and then have them come in 2-3 minutes. But perhaps that's one reason they were the lowest cost facility we could find that weekend.

If you're looking to simply shut your eyes and have a place to sleep - it makes for a good value. If you want a very nice and pleasant place to stay, and stay around your hotel alot (with kids or not), this would not presently be the place until they complete further renovations...

Pros:

The facility just changed ownership. The new owners are now upgrading and fixing everything. They are exceptionally responsive.

We were only there one night, daughter complained of smelling weed and the whole place being off
Pros:

The beds were clean and comfortable, no bugs

Cons:

Smelled like weed, dogs barked at odd hours of the night, people stomping upstairs, shouting through the walls, button to turn off the light above the bed was next to invisible, no breakfast in the morning despite being told there would be.

Pros:

This place is not as advertised and disgusting. Can barely find the entrance, no signs , not landscaped. Another couple in the parking lot said they were tricked too. I want a refund as I left the minute I walked in. Thanks Expedia.
