I book this hotel for my husband's remote-working employees every time they are in Rogers City. They report it is very convenient and the beds are comfortable. The view is relaxing. The only feedback is that it would be nice if the pool and hot tub were open until 10pm, instead of 8pm because they work long days.

The view from the top floor balcony is worth any flaws that you may find. This is an older motel but its worth the stay if you're just in town for the weekend. Every room has a balcony on the water side. If you enjoy the sunrise I recommend you take a room on the top floor. We really enjoyed our stay. The room is spacious but the bathroom itself is small. It was perfect for the 3 of us girls on a rock hunting weekend. Definitely worth coming back to stay and will do so again.

Deborah

Liked: Staff & service
The balcony offered beautiful views of Lake Huron. The motel was dated, but clean. Staff were wonderful and very friendly and helpful. They have tried to make this a nice motel. Bathroom was clean. I don't really like bedspreads and the sheets were not crisp. No facial tissues. Teeny soap and no conditioner for hair. However, still I liked the place. They offered a better than average continental breakfast, and there was a little library off the dining room.

The motel was OK, nice and clean. Close to trails, beach and a short walk into town which was nice. Downside, bed was terrible, all the support had gone on one side, felt like I was going to roll out. We only stayed the one night so made do.
