On the beach

This motel has a private beach. Listen to the sound of the waves while taking a stroll on the white sand beach. Fishing is a noteworthy activity worth checking out nearby.

Bathroom was very small for a heavyset person. But overall it was fine for a place to sleep in St Ignace. The price was right for a two night stay.

This property is in a nice location. We checked in a little early and had to wait for clean towels. We noticed the coffee pot in the room had not been emptied or cleaned from prior guests. The refrigerator made a terrible vibrating sound. The staff were friendly and accomodating.

We checked in and then right back out. This hotel has not been updated in 40 years from the looks of it. The room was dirty and had broken lamp shades. There were dead bugs in the corners of the room. We asked for a refund and left.

I’ve stayed in the past for the car show, it was the same as always. Nothing out of this world but it absolutely gets the job done. But for low riding vehicles the driveway is tricky, though that is really my only complaint.

First time I’ve ever refused to honor a hotel reservation. One bed (we had 2 rooms) had crumbs on the sheet, some kind of substance stuck on the shade, room next door had a gas grill right outside our room that was being used, etc. I believe this may now be popular for seasonal workers who rent by the month. The young man in the office was very kind and apologetic when giving us our cancellation. I thought I’d done due diligence prior to booking which brings me to my first ever public negative review.

Checked in at 4:45 pm and room had not been cleaned. Had to leave for a while. Room was old, dirty carpet, furniture missing a handle, dripping stain on wall, no mini fridge, shower was awful with no place to put tiny bar of soap. Motel is right on the lake but the beach was covered in goose poop and smelled awful.
