Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Mixed to negative: some guests reported clean rooms, but multiple reports of smoky smell, dirty floors, disgusting bathroom, and general unclean conditions lowered this score.
Service
9.5
Generally positive responsiveness: several guests praised quick assistance (TV remote fixed immediately), friendly and accommodating staff and manager; a few reports of unfriendly or unhelpful staff are noted but outweighed by timely, helpful interactions in multiple reviews.
Location
9
Consistently positive: many reviewers cited easy to find, convenient location near downtown/lakefront and good access to main roads, making this a strong attribute.
Room Quality
4
Below average: numerous issues reported (horrible/old mattresses, broken locks, shower problems, low lighting, outdated rooms, dirty radiators/AC), leading to a low room-quality score.
Amenities
5.8
Basic but limited: breakfast offered (waffles) and essential amenities exist, but limited breakfast capacity, no elevator, some broken items (keycard reader) and lack of broader amenities keep this modest.
Value for Money
6.3
Mixed: several guests cited good pricing and inexpensive option for the area, but unexpected charges, seasonal price hikes (fair), and issues reducing perceived value balance out to slightly above average.
Food and Beverage
5
Limited breakfast offering: complimentary breakfast present but repeatedly described as minimal (one waffle maker, limited selection) or inconsistent with advertised 'hot' breakfast.
Overall Experience
5.5
Overall mixed to below average: some guests appreciated location, price, and helpful staff, but pervasive room/cleanliness and amenity issues resulted in an overall disappointing experience for many.

Clean, comfortable and friendly service! Five stars!
Pros:

It was clean and comfortable. When I couldn’t figure out the tv remote, they sent someone immediately to fix it for me. The manager was very nice.

Pros:

Nice breakfast (lobby waffles!). Convenient location to downtown/lakefront in Escanaba and a good inexpensive place to stay for our day trip to Munising, where prices are much higher because of the tourism.

Pros:

I needed a room and they had one available.

Cons:

Beds were horrible. Did not sleep well at all. Breakfast was ok-ish. not much variety. have had better and have had worse. nice that they offer something though. The keycard reader for the door closest to our room didn't work.

Loud throughout. Noise carries . Not satisfied.
Cons:

Room has such low wattage light bulbs you can turn everything on and still can't see . Toilet paper holder is in the way of the toilet . Could not get water from the shower head . Had to clean up in the tub . Charged me fifteen dollars cause I arrived a little early .l

Description on internet wasn’t what we seen or received
Pros:

Easy access to main road

Cons:

Room was out dated. Needed a new paint in the room, new baseboard and probably a new air conditioner. Bathroom could be updated too.
Went to check out & got a nod. No thank you, no goodbye..nothing!
Bed was comfortable…that’s about all

Acceptable at best
Pros:

The breakfast was listed as a hot breakfast but they only had 1 waffle maker for the entire motel and the printed information at the motel listed it as a continental breakfast. We had to pay much more money to eat at a restaurant for the 3 days we stayed there
