Overall decent for price
We did have to wait to check in. But otherwise service was great. Room have a very strong odor of "cleaner" where i had to open the slider and turn the fan on the whole time.

Disliked: Amenities
We checked in and the room had no screens for the windows, toilet was running all the time, no ac, holes in the walls by the tv and in the bathroom, the front of the building looked ok but the side and the back was terrible, I would never stay there again. All these items can be seen by any one with eyes without even looking for bad things. Theres no way people who own and run it didn’t know of these issues but did nothing to fix it.

Great location. The staff was very friendly and the hotel was cozy. Its clear that the owners have put a lot of work into upgrades. Had a great time watching the river and the boats coming in.

Perfect little stay for a night or two in Manistee. It's a very bare bones room, but the bed was comfy and the TV nice and big -- and the location (right on the river, walking distance from downtown was perfect). Kinda thin walls, but no one was very noisy.

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.

Room needs updates with more outlets. There were no outlets in the bathroom. Outlets were not well located in bedrooms.

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.

Just Alright
It was alright. Room was pretty small and not the cleanest. Being right on the river with a walkout for our dog was nice. It was a short walk to downtown which was convenient. The staff was friendly and welcome. For the price of a night’s stay, I expected more.

Cute and helpful
This little motel is trying so very hard to be great. The room was super clean and fresh. The staff was amazingly responsive. But, the building is older, and somethings don't quite work - the bathroom door tended to stick, and the shower was difficult to control temp-wise. That for me added to the joy of the hotel, but I can see others having a problem with it. I would definitely stop there again.

Beautiful river view. Outdoor grill and picnic tables make for a fun evening. A great effort to update the property really shows. Next update project should be doors. Not the height of luxury, but cozy, comfy and fun.
