The stay was wonderful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Always greeted with a smile. Aside from the construction that was going on the road across all the hotels and inns. The stay overall was great! Breakfast was great and always nice and stocked. The fires pits in the evenings and s’mores were a great way to socialize with other guest and relax from the days events. I will highly recommend staying here! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

They were so kind to upgrade me to a waterfront room :) nice views!!! Clean bathroom area, great to have fridge, coffee maker ( tasty coffee packets too!!) great hot breakfast!!!! The downside was the bedding looked 40 yrs old and the carpet looked dirty - so I would give this place a solid 7 star

10/10

We stayed in 2021 and the couple that runs the hotel are just as friendly now as they were then. The beds are super comfortable, the view is amazing, and the breakfast is really delicious. We love the bonfires at night and enjoy the smores while watching the sunset. It also offers a perfect view to the fireworks. You can see the ones from the bridge, the island, and ST Ignis.

My draw to stay here was the bonfires on the beach and s'mores. Upon arrival, we were told the their load of firewood for the season had not arrived yet so no fires in the barrels for our stay. Room had a strong smell. Breakfast doesn't offer anything good.

Will definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and comfortable stay in the area. S’mores on the beach in the evenings was such a treat, and really just adds something special to the entire stay.

This was a delightful little motel overlooking Lake Huron and the bridge. The room was great and the nightly fire on the beach outside our room (complete with S’mores) was awesome. Great place to stay.

A welcoming and friendly establishment. Loved the view and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know other guests around the wood fires (with s'mores!) on the beach every night. The breakfast was the perfect send-off for our days of exploring the area.
