Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Multiple reviews call out strong negative cleanliness issues: bad smells in hallways and rooms, 'smelled like dirty socks', hot tub described as nasty with bugs, bathrooms reported not clean, and windows leaking — overall cleanliness was a clear weak point.
Service
9.2
Mixed but generally positive: several guests described staff as pleasant and accommodating and breakfast staff serving food until closing; however a few reviews cited front-desk staff unhelpful or unpleasant and refusal to offer a discount after an incident. Overall service leaned positive despite inconsistency.
Location
9.6
Location was repeatedly praised: described as perfect for their trek, safe, and convenient (including proximity to Harley Avenue and motorcycle parking area), making location one of the strongest aspects.
Room Quality
9
Room quality varied but often favorable: some guests reported clean, quiet rooms with very comfortable beds and said they'd stay again; other guests reported very poor rooms. On balance several reports of comfortable rooms support an above-average score despite inconsistency.
Amenities
8.9
Amenities were functional but inconsistent: breakfast service was available and sometimes good, but the hot tub was repeatedly noted as lukewarm or nasty and a closed bar was mentioned — amenities exist but had notable problems.
Value for Money
8.4
Perceived value is mixed: some long-time guests disappointed by new ownership removing small touches and cleanliness issues hurting perceived value, while others felt the stay (location, breakfast, bed comfort) provided reasonable value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast impressions varied: several guests praised the breakfast (plenty of hot food even near closing), while others called it 'blah' or 'not that great'. Overall the offering tends to be adequate-to-good but inconsistent.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall impressions are mixed: strong positives around location, some good staff interactions and comfortable rooms for some guests, offset by consistent complaints about cleanliness, hot tub, and owner/management decisions. Net experience is slightly above average but tempered by the cleanliness issues.

I felt like a needed a shower after visiting the common areas.
Pros:

There was nothing that I liked. It was just okay

Cons:

The hot tub was nasty. Bugs floating in it. Hall ways smelled. Breakfast was blah. Windows leaked when raining. Lost power for 4 hours and didn’t receive anything for the inconvenience.

Pleasantly surprised
Pros:

After reading the recent reviews, I was a little worried about staying here. We had not been here before, but came with friends who have stayed here frequently. They made the reservation before the new ownership took over. I have to say that I found the previous reviews to be unfounded. Our room was clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was typical for a hotel breakfast. Went down to breakfast one day just a few minutes before they closed and there was still plenty of food and it was still hot. That’s not always the case in other hotels where we stay. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. It was a much better experience than we had the previous week when we stayed at a Hampton in the Detroit area. I would definitely stay here again!

Terrible!!!!
Pros:

Breakfast wasn’t that good. The staff would not work with us. I asked for a

Cons:

Breakfast wasn’t that great. Staff would not work with us. I asked if we can boon the first floor and they said no. They gave us a room that was at the end of the hall. My husband has a hard time walking long distances. They had a gas leak early one morning and we had to leave and we came back and I asked if we can have a discount on our room and the staff said no, it wasn’t there fault. We will not be staying there anymore more. The gentleman that was at the front desk was not pleasant.😞

OK but questionable involvement by the owners in running the motel for their customers.
Pros:

Decent Hotel/Motel but a couple of things were really annoying. First was the Breakfast offerings. Same thing both mornings, not one change. A little rotation would be nice.

Second thing was much more annoying and in my mind showed that the owners don't really care for their customers. This unit was built right across the street from the old J&P Motorcycle Store and Museum. Their address is on Harley Avenue, and as such when built, they had 4 premium motorcycle parking spaces painted on the pavement right outside the front door, which were very clearly marked. They were also covered to protect the customers motorcycles from the rain. Pretty obvious nod to their Motorcycling community members, and would be really appreciated, BUT, the owners used these 4 motorcycle spaces to park their 2 Toyotas ALL the time. One of them NEVER actually moved during our stay.

The only reason I know these belong to the owners is because I complained at the front desk and asked to have them moved to a proper vehicle parking space and was told, no they couldn't be moved because they were the owners parking spots. What kind of Hospitality industry owners care more about their own convenience than the convenience of their customers? Seriously these people need a bit more supervision in managing their Motel/Hotel.
