This little roadside motel was truly a gem. So cute, comfortable and clean. Close to many attractions in the upper peninsula area. We are at a local place named Jack's that was delicious. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer. Would definitely stay here again if we get back that way.
We booked 2 rooms, one of the rooms was not cleaned. Never came in any physical contact with staff, kind of weird, but called the phone number listed on the door and we were taken care of right away and were offended a clean room. Would like to see live staff though.
This little 10 room motel was a treat. Very clean, comfortable bed, easy check in, etc. The bathroom was small but had been updated with a nice shower. A shelf over the toilet is suggested as there was no place to put toiletry bags, toothbrushes, etc. Night light in the bathroom and very good lamps on the nightstands was appreciated. Too many places have poor lighting. There was a nice table with pull out stools that we used to eat a sandwich. Only drawback is the road noise but like others have said turning the fan on helped block that out during the night. Iâd stay there again!
We liked basically everything about the room until I woke up and went to take a shower and had no hot water. Did not appreciate having to stand in a cold shower to rinse off. Otherwise everything else was great!
The stay was clean & comfortable for what we needed. The walls are very thin, as a light sleeper, traffic could be heard all night, as well as other guests arriving throughout the evening.
There is a phone number to call for service, if needed. We didn't have a reason to call. Overall, we would recommend and will plan to bring a fan (white noise) in the future to block out the evening disturbance.
A small place to stay warm and dry. We were thankful we weren't larger sized than we are we might not have fit through the bathroom door or into the standing only shower. Never met a customer service person though we didnât need one either.
We drive through the UP every few months and always stay here. Itâs always clean, quiet, and feels very safe for solo travelers. And we love that our dog is welcome!
The Hillcrest appears to have been a motor inn long ago, but has been refurbished and refreshed with care and an eye for clean, modernized accommodations for customers. The primary colored chairs on the front walkway are cheery and welcoming as are the staff who are extremely friendly and helpful. Huge hanging baskets of healthy, fresh flowers add to the welcoming ambiance.
Check-in was a breeze. The location was convenient to area restaurants and an easy drive to other sites on the UP.
The inn is located in front of some woodlands where the owners have thoughtfully cleared a walking path for customers. Although we don't travel with pets, they have pet-friendly rooms and an enclosed area for dogs to play and enjoy fresh air.
I would definitely recommend staying here and would do so myself if I am in the area again!
For a motel in this area this place was below average due to the close proximity, 200 feet, to a main highway with a speed limit of 65 mph and used extensively 7/24 by semi traffic. When there are moments of no traffic the train horns, operated by an over enthusiastic operator, will catch your attention. If both of those are absent the hum from the refrigerator will provide you with some white noise. If you are a very sound sleeper, this might be fine.
