If you want WiFi you have to take a picture of the sign in office. Don’t expect an extra towel to be in your room. The continental breakfast is also something that isn’t quite that great. Luckily there is a restaurant in the parking lot.

Fresh & clean

CLEAN, very well maintained! I prefer a soft mattress so the mattress was way too hard for me. I wish all hotels offered options of rooms with harder or softer mattresses.

Not so great.

The room was clean and my bed was comfortable, but this is an old, dated property. The air conditioner was so loud it woke me up even though I was wearing earplugs. The walls are thin so it’s just pretty noisy in general. My room was a little dark and musty. The TV did not work. The shower had hair conditioner but no shampoo. The breakfast is very basic and served in the office with nowhere to sit so you have to take it back to your room which in my case was dark and musty. I asked someone at the front desk to fix the tv and they said they would but they did not. I would not stay here ever again.

Small room was not expecting this for this location. Room was noisy from inside noise to outside noise. Staff was busy at check in and did not appear to want to answer questions about surroundings area. Disappointing stay.

A sweet little hotel that was clean, had all the amenities, simple and affordable. It sits on the edge of St Ignace, an amazing little coastal town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Next to it is a charming bakery/diner called Wild Blueberry. Excellent food and reasonable prices.
