This property is small but, well kept. The rooms are very clean and have a refrigerator and television. There is space for your suitcase. The only thing it was lacking was good internet.

Very old, not kept up, not very clean (baseboards, window sills etc). Beds very soft/uncomfortable. Our first room had ants & we had to move to another. People who worked desk were nice tho. That's all I can say good about the place

Older but clean; we stayed here for the night that we were in Alpena. It was during winter; very pleased that the room temperature wasn't freezing cold when we checked in. Parking lot and walk ways were cleared, salted not slippery. We'd definitely stay at this Ma&Pop lodge again.

If you need a fancy place with new everything- stay away- BUT if you like (or love in my case) small older motels stay here. Clean, showers great- new bed and excellent cable system. Stay away from the chain hotels and give this place a try!

Owners were more than kind and hospitable, very friendly and clean with super comfy beds. Will be my go-to motel in Alpena. Sure beats the chains and restaurants very close.
