A very basic location that will work in a pinch, but I would explore other options first.
Pros:

The checkin staff was VERY friendly and helpful, although they had never seen the main attraction in the area--The Manistee Lighthouse. How can this be? The place was VERY clean. The lighthouse is definitely worth visiting. Pictures of the lighthouse were all over the property, but the staff did not know they were of the nearby lighthouse. The desk attendant did find directions to the lighthouse. Thank you.

Cons:

The room was VERY VERY tiny. I felt like I was on a cruise ship. I guess that is consistent with the name--MICROTEL! There is very little sound deadening. I could hear all the plumbing and people in nearby rooms. The breakfast was awful--mostly packaged, processed high carb options that never taste fresh. You can't eat this stuff when you are on GLP1s. Don't come here for the breakfast. No high protein options. After seeing what was available, I took an apple and found another place to eat.

As expected for a moderate price motel.
Pros:

We were comfortable and slept pretty well.

Cons:

Corners in bathroom could be cleaner. I asked ahead of time for an extra blanket, but none was offered and none was in my room.
