"We stayed here for a night waiting for our friends to arrive the following day for a trip to Mackinac. Since we were only staying one night, we weren’t looking for anything fancy, our priority was something economical. This motel fit the bill. Check-in was easy and the staff recommended places to eat dinner. The room was very clean. Although the hotel itself is a tired-looking, the cleanliness seems to be their priority. That suited us! We didn’t use any amenities but a breakfast is provided and there’s an indoor pool. Again, nothing fancy."

"We enjoyed our stay in 2026 however, charging $20 per day to park in your parking lot that was built for your customers is ridiculous. We didn’t have this parking fee the last time in 2025 we stayed at your great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan. This is the first time we’ve ever been charged to park at any lodging where we’ve staying. Totally unacceptable plus get rid of the kiosk machines that are not very customer service friendly. That is not a great way to be greeted when you come in by a dumb machine that you need to have an employee standing there walking you through it. Go back to the counter and greet your customers the way customer service is meant to be. Totally cheap way to run your business. It may save your lodge money, but it’s not customer friendly and now that’s what I remember about your lodge"
