Older property but in a very convenient location. Easy walk into town or to the lake along the river walk. Rooms are pretty basic. Microwave & refrigerator in the room. Keurig coffeemaker in the office so only available during office hours. Rooms really need room darkening curtains and pillows are terrible, so bring your own. A/C is loud but that helps block the noise from neighbors going in and out of cars right outside your room.

Retro looking motel on the Manistee river. Simple but clean. Comfortable beds, larger refrigerator than most hotels, plenty of storage space in dresser and under the beds. Glider chairs and picnic table facing the river for nice view of the sunset. Close to downtown and Lake Michigan.

Great location

The location is perfect, close enough to downtown but a quiet location. Our room didn't have a walk out so we didn't have anywhere to sit outside. Rooms with walkouts have chairs, picnic tables and a bbq. Even in the room there was no where to sit but the bed. A chair or two would've been great. There was air conditioning, a fridge and microwave and the room was a good size.

Not a bad place to stay, just not great. Photos show a nice pool but pool is actually out of service. Bed was very uncomfortable. Room was mostly clean and in a great location.

For the cost of renting the room, there was limited space for fishing outside the sliding doors as description stated, unless you were hiring a charter. This was the sole reason that I rented the room was so my son and I could fish outside without having to drive around. Almost $300 for a room I feel like we could have did a lot better elsewhere I will not be renting again.

Great location/stay

Love the location. The motel rooms were updated and clean. The staff was very friendly and responsive. Would suggest a couple improvements that come with little expense. 1. Place a small chair in each room. 2. Place a bath mat in each room. 3. For our room, replace the towel bar (it appeared that it had fallen off) so the towels are not hanging on the assist bar next to the toilet. 4. Add some common area seating around the property, especially bar the river.
