We spent two night to watch total solar eclipse here. Very clean and great managed property. Located in safe, quiet region with easy access to highways, and close to islands and great lakes. Some distant sounds of train can be heard at night. But it's not a concern to us at all. Management is definitely outstanding. We were not just provided necessary info, but also some great idea about events in the area. They even provided glassed for solar eclipse watching. I were told some facility updates would be scheduled. That would make the property more interesting. We'd love another visit in future.

Clean and comfortable for short stay
We just needed a clean place to sleep on our way east. This motel had a great rating and good price. The room was tiny but fine for overnight. Everything was very clean, bathroom is tiny but doable. Had a nice corner with a large countertop with coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator with a separate freezer. Not really walkable to anywhere but a nice Mexican restaurant called Margaritaville was very near and nice. Check in is through email and if you book through this site you do have to go to the motel's website for check in. Keyless entry, you receive a code. Bed was fine for me but too soft for my husband. You get an email with your code and you are invited to call if you need anything. This is an older property that has been remodeled. For a night or two, it is fine. It is an outside entrance if that is a concern.

Decent stay. “pet friendly” but with a fee!
Needed a hotel in the area that was pet friendly. This one showed up and its location was close to what we needed. Chose based on price and location. Did not know until we received a guest portal check in form, the day of arrival, that there was a $100 pet fee on top of the cost advertised. I looked on the hotels.com site when I got home to see if I missed it. But no where to be seen. The room was decent. Very small, newly renovated, and the owner was nice and helped with our check-in problem (I didn’t receive the email with the guest agreement that creates a room code) and early check in. It had the very basics. Mini kitchenette with no kitchen sink though.

Best customer service ever
We stayed for the Labor Day holiday weekend. The owner was fantastic in assistance with check-in, parking our big boat, and suggestions on things to do. The room was spotless!! They have done a nice job with renovations. I highly recommend staying here.
