The place was old. Pockets doors on the bathroom. Bathroom sink is tilted and toilet is loose on the floor. Mattresses sag in the middle. Tv placed above small table tilted downward…watch your head getting up! Ouch, more than once we bumped our heads and back room has a definite dip!

What a wonderful view from our room of the sunrise. Dog friendly that was nice. There is no restaurant at site even advertisement said there was however Carla had a great list of resturants near by. On recommenday would be to have one dog friendly room with a railing near the 3 steps We appreciated the grab bars near the front door.

Carla was very pleasant and the overnight was great for just 1 person. Too tight if my wife had been with me. It needs more TLC and general upkeep. I congratulate the owners for keeping it going, though in a tough economy. The next-door restaurant was closed, and none were right nearby. The view facing east across the bay was gorgeous and the price was good.

Not only is Carla one of the sweetest people you will meet, she was also helpful with all my questions regarding dining options to rock hunting. The room was comfy, clean and had so much charm. Thanks for a great stay Carla!

This motel was unkept and in bad need of repair. There was a tree laying on the back of the building with a 4x4 proping up the over hang. Our room smelled of wet dog. The room was dirty with hair stuck to the camper size (no joke on the size) bathroom wall, no bathroom door only a curtain. The bathroom window (inside of shower) didn't close completely. The toiltet was approximately 3 feet from the edge of the bed.The floor around the edges of the room needed vacuuming. Cob webs on the ceiling. Upholstered furniture was broken and filthy. We would have stayed elsewhere if another was available within our budget and in the Keeweenaw.

This is your typical "mom & pop" motel of the 50s and 60s. The cute picture is misleading, because it is so old and dated. The room is extremely small. We had to put our suitcase on one of the comfy chairs, because there was no place else and no luggage rack. The bathroom was so small and it was impossible to use the only outlet in there. We stayed 2 nights. When we returned from our travels on the second day, we discovered that the trash had been taken out (though they did not bother to put new bags in the cans.) They left a new coffee packet, but hadn't cleaned out the coffee pot. New towels were left, but we had to go ask for toilet paper. And asking for anything can be problematic because the host/owner is not on site. If you just need a quick place to sleep and leave, this would work, I guess, but we were hoping for much more.

Carla was nice and worked with us through some issues, though the facility had a lot to be desired. There is no longer a restaurant and it’s a lot more outdated (at least what’s leftover from the fire) than expected. Not a bad place, though it was not what we were expecting.

### Review of Carla’s Motel I recently stayed at Carla’s Motel, and my experience was a mixed bag. On the positive side, the room was clean, which is always a crucial factor for any stay. However, the room was very old and outdated, with furniture and fixtures that have seen better days. The bed was quite uncomfortable, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. One significant issue was that we were given the wrong room. This mix-up was frustrating and added unnecessary inconvenience to our stay. Additionally, the property itself was not well maintained. Despite a fire a few years ago that burned down the restaurant, there is still debris scattered around, which detracts from the overall appearance and feel of the place. Communication with the owner was also a challenge. There is no main office, and the owner was not present when we arrived to check in. This made it difficult to get settled, and we had a hard time reaching her for assistance. Overall, while Carla’s Motel has potential, the combination of outdated accommodations, poor property maintenance, and communication issues with the owner made for a less-than-ideal stay.

The rooms were cleaned. The shower was missing the shower head. The wifi did not work for us, but password was provided. There is no front desk, our key & info was provided in an envelope on a bulletin board. The restaurant burned down a year ago, you have to go into town for food.

Nothing Special
We arrived late but there was no one to greet us. Key was attached to a board outside. The television worked horribly with only a few stations available. The room was clean but nothing special. The bed was comfortable.
