Had a great time. Contactless check in was so easy. Felt safe and quiet. Small rooms but exactly what you need. Only thing was the “continental” breakfast was only some plastic wrapped items & coffee dispenser, so I would’ve loved to see more options since the nightly rate was still pretty high. I’d love to stay here in the summer, though, and take advantage of the outdoor amenities.

Cozy room. Liked decorating combo of old and contemporary. A handicap bar in the bathroom across from toilet would have been helpful. Contenintal breakfast was really slim.

Great place to stay!
Easy check-in, clean, and easy walk to restaurants in Douglas. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the low water pressure in the shower.

Being able to sit outside in the back and overlook, the grounds was nice. The room was very clean, and having a refrigerator and coffee maker in the room was great. Check-in was a breeze! Would recommend this hotel for a one or two night stay.

The secret you don’t want to share
After so many lemons in this network, it was extra amazing to find this gem. Every detail about your stay has been carefully considered by the management. The place was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Four thumbs up.

Beautiful and charming little Inn in Douglas. Just a short drive to Saugatuck and Douglass downtowns. Room was very clean and offered everything that we needed. Nice little ice cream and breakfast shop right next door. Would definitely stay again.

Very small but clean and well furnished rooms. Nice backyard deck. Jacuzzi closes at 10 pm. Breakfast is very spare, but a good cafe just steps away. Well located. Walking distance to the Dunes and better Douglas restaurants. Good for a night or two.

We never saw a person at check in or out. Second day we had no spoons in the breakfast room. We had to go through the cabinets. The room was the smallest room I have ever been in for a night stay.

Reasonably priced and clean. This is a small motel walking distance to little downtown Douglas and a short drive to Saugatuck and also to Oval Beach. The furnishings are new and the place given a fresh coat of paint. Only negative is the size of the room but fine for our 2 night stay. A very reasonable alternative to some of the expensive places in the area.

Unusual check in - no one at property - never saw anyone. Breakfast left a lot to be desired - the packaged food was stale. Not much in the way of choices. The room was fine.
