The motel was clean but outdated. Dark paint on the wall and dark window curtains makes the room feel closed in.

Very old, not kept up, not very clean (baseboards, window sills etc). Beds very soft/uncomfortable. Our first room had ants & we had to move to another. People who worked desk were nice tho. That's all I can say good about the place

Old Time Motel- Excellent!

If you need a fancy place with new everything- stay away- BUT if you like (or love in my case) small older motels stay here. Clean, showers great- new bed and excellent cable system. Stay away from the chain hotels and give this place a try!

Older but clean; we stayed here for the night that we were in Alpena. It was during winter; very pleased that the room temperature wasn't freezing cold when we checked in. Parking lot and walk ways were cleared, salted not slippery. We'd definitely stay at this Ma&Pop lodge again.
