The service was friendly. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy

Check in was super easy and a nice, clean room!

The stay was clean & comfortable for what we needed. The walls are very thin, as a light sleeper, traffic could be heard all night, as well as other guests arriving throughout the evening.
There is a phone number to call for service, if needed. We didn't have a reason to call. Overall, we would recommend and will plan to bring a fan (white noise) in the future to block out the evening disturbance.

We drive through the UP every few months and always stay here. It’s always clean, quiet, and feels very safe for solo travelers. And we love that our dog is welcome!

A small place to stay warm and dry. We were thankful we weren't larger sized than we are we might not have fit through the bathroom door or into the standing only shower. Never met a customer service person though we didn’t need one either.
