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.

Great place to watch the fireworks and access the beach.
The owners were super helpful and nice, perfect place to sleep for the night, excellent Italian restaurant right next door. I would stay here again, had a very reasonable room rate
Have never stayed anywhere that was so clean! Housekeeping gave us a room refresh on Saturday for our weekend stay. The room has a lot of character complete with original tile! Was an amazing location. Price for what you get is completely fair. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Big Bear we had a great time visiting Alpena!!
It was clean, accessible and easy check in and out. It is also affordable compared to other hotels/motels in the area. I will defiantly stay there again should I be in the area.
The owners were very friendly and the motel was a wonderful mom and pop place! Much better than any of the big chains. I loved the fact that it was older but well cared for. The beds were very comfortable, although they could do with some new pillows.
Cute family owned hotel. It’s an old place that has been refurbished and retained retro style with modern conveniences (wifi, refrigerator, microwave).It’s well taken care of, clean, comfortable, and in good location. Proprietors were very friendly. My only recommendation for the owners is add some curtains to better block out light (this is a common hotel issue). I will definitely stay here again if in the area.
