The room was Sparkling clean. Beds were comfortable and made up excellently! Refrigerator, Microwave, Coffee pot (coffee, cream, sugar provided) were all in good working order and very clean. The kitchenware, plates, cups, silverware were also very clean. There is No Maid Service at this motel. Not a problem. Manager provided his number and any fresh towels, linens, soap, shampoo, dish washing liquid, coffee required were delivered on the spot. Kind of unique, but the system was run smoothly. Would stay there again. Very peaceful and quiet. No problems at all.

For a motel my partner and I had a pretty great experience! We were impressed by the nice and clean beds, kitchenette, and bathroom. We wish the water didn't smell like city water though, and the floors were swept but it seemed like they weren't mopped very well.

It’s an older model motel. But has been updated to a degree, the rooms are tiny, not close to anything in walking distance , there’s no one at the desk you have to call the number and the manager lives a few minutes away, he’s polite but the whole experience made working out there much less exciting.. I recommend this place if your only staying one night and your desperate. I hate leaving a bad review and I understand that it’s an old school establishment but when I’d ponder sleeping in my car. That’s not good

We were there at 8 o’clock. There was no one there to check us in and to this point my people have not been checked in. I want my money back. There is no hotel that should be closed at 8 o’clock.

The motel was in a reasonable location relative to the town of Bad Axe. The room was clean, comfortable and remarkably well appointed for its size. It had a fridge and microwave and even a small hotplate for cooking, along with various utensils. My only real concern about the accommodation has to do with security. The door lock to the room did not seem especially substantial, and there was no security lock. I'd suggest that security locks be installed on all the doors.

Unassuming property with quaint rooms and many amenities, including microwave, kitchen-style sink in room, fridge, DishTV, and even a hot plate and toaster! A pleasant surprise for the accommodation! Manager was very friendly and attentive, even walking guests to their rooms to ensure everything is proper when checking-in. Motel location is just outside of town, with access to various restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment.

The location is central if you are doing activities in various locations in the northern thumb. The rooms have recently been redone and are very nice and clean with fresh paint, new vanities, and new flooring. The beds were very comfortable. It would be nice if small bar of soap was provided and kleenex (small things, but can make a big difference when you don't pack your own :)). It was very reasonably priced and I was glad there was NOT a two night minimum stay required.
