Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was a clean and spacious room. Bed was hard and uncomfortable, sheets and towels had stains but smelled clean. The water smelled horrible. Pulling in it looks like a junk yard. Weird that everything in the room was unplugged and not enough outlets to charge devices. Internet didn't work. Good restaurant just down the rd but not much else. Lots of recreation close. Ok for the price but won't be staying again.

While this isn't a 5 star hotel, its clean, simple, and quiet. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. If I'm ever in the area again, I would stay here.

Excellent value and customer service!

This place is awesome and the gentleman that owns it is the kindest man you could imagine. It was like staying at my grandfather's house. Nothing fancy, but considering the alternatives in the area, the cleanliness and comfort far exceeded my expectations. Just a couple miles from tippy dam AND he has canoes and kayaks!! 10/10

Thank you!

I've never experienced an easier check in. The hotel is on the edge of a beautiful national forest, with our view a quiet yard. Very relaxing. We were there for our uncle's funeral and couldn't have asked for anything more relaxing. Quaint, clean, convenient.

This motel worked well for us. We were looking for a quick overnight stay on our way further north. This older motel has had some updates and we found everything clean and tidy. We were OK with the COVID protocols and contactless check-in.

Absolutely happy with our stay!

Our stay was a very positive experience. My son and I were in the area to fish for trout. Our room was very clean and fresh, stocked with everything we needed for our two day stay. Room was equiped with a small refrigerator and television with cable access. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The location was exactly where we needed to be with main street access.

Good stay, very convenient. Clean bed. Had to move the microwave to allow the mini fridge and microwave to work. Could only get one channel on the tv but might be user error. Stopped trying after 10 minutes. Fresh coffee available outside every morning.

Roadside motel, room was clean. Light bulbs were out, tv reception snowy due to poor connections or too many. Outside of motel a lot of vehicles parked seemed like out door storage for RV and cars. Got what we paid for. Ok for a place to sleep.

great stay on a budget

I booked this because it was the least expensive Motel over memorial day weekend. I wasn't expecting much for the budget friendly price but I LOVED it. It's nestled in the Manistee forest and the view is spectacular. I have never stayed at such a quiet motel, I couldn't believe we weren't the only guests. The rooms are a bit dated but they are very clean, the pillows are fluffy, and rooms come with a refrigerator and microwave. They offer free Wi-Fi, and we had no problems with it. The only TV is satellite so remember that those aren't perfect and can be spotty. They don't have usb outlets so you'll need to pack your own.

While we did not actually stay at the motel, we were treated very well by the owner Tim Scully. Due to issues, he contacted us and had made arrangements at another place for us, and he paid for it. This was a very unexpected thing for him to do, and very much appreciated. So since we did not see or go to Scully's, I am not qualified to answer some of the questions. Thank you.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights. The man who checked us in was very nice. It was clean and quiet. I wish that there had been someone to supply clean towels, toilet paper, trash removal, bed making but no one came to our room or called or delivered clean linens. Continental breakfast was advertised but not supplied. 2 of the 3 mornings we went up to get coffee (all outside due to the fear of covid I’m assuming) there was none. There was no continental breakfast and the hot tub that was also advertised was not open (again I’m assuming covid) but if this was because of covid the I feel the prices should have been adjusted. This room was not cheap ($118.00 a night).
