Very reasonably priced.
This motel is very well kept up on outside, but a little dated inside. It’s very clean but totally an up north cabin vibe. It’s quiet in terms of not hearing your next door neighbor but you are right off a busy highway so you hear traffic if that bothers you. We had the family unit so basically it was two adjoining rooms with one side having a double bed with the kitchen and the other room having 2 double beds and the bathroom. The bathroom is small - think cruise ship shower size, but a nice shower head flow. Each room had their own tv which was a nice perk. We were traveling with dogs and very much appreciated a great deal for the one night stay.

Throw back to a kinder times
It was a quaint little stay . Room was a bit tiny but comfortable. If you are bothered by the road noise, not the place for you, I had no issue with as I am use to sleeping close to RR tracks. No breakfast but plenty of nearby places in Escanaba.

Clean, cute and comfortable rooms. Liked the idea of access to trails but we just stopped in for a night, and a late arrival at that. They were great at providing late checkin options, are right on US2 and were very friendly. Will stay again when travelling the UP, best hotel experience in the region for me.

There was not a hair dryer in room. Had to go to office to get it. They did not have any ice. Said ice machine was too expensive right now. Room was very small. Beds were ok. The new bathroom was nice but small shower (semi-round corner shower) with hardly any water pressure. Room was clean.
