This is the type of property I would have expected in the UP in the 1950s. Unfortunately it has never moved on or been updated. It does have all the basics and sufficed for one night's stay in a convenient location.

The motel is in a great location, just a few minutes walk from Au Train beach. The adjoining store is convenient for picking up things you might need for your stay or pre-made food. Everything was clean and in working condition. The room included a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Our two bed unit was actually two bedrooms plus the bathroom and a little sitting area. The room is very dated and the mattress was kind of hard, even for someone who prefers a hard mattress. The water was slightly discolored…probably fine but we picked up a jug of water just in case. The gentleman at check-in was very nice but had some trouble finding our reservation, so it took a while to check in. There is no after hours check in, so you need to be able to check in during store hours.

This is a very adequate humble unit. It has all the necessary amenities like coffee, fridge , toaster and microwave. It's quite alright.

It was fine for the cost. Clean but old. We only needed a place to sleep at night, so it was perfect for that.

This is a low budget place to stay and fits the bill for that. Rooms are outdated and falling apart (literally-the ceiling tiles look like they could come down on the bed at any time). Room was clean. Staff next door was very unpleasant and wouldn’t even look up from their personal phone call to ask if we needed help. For the area it’s one of the cheaper options if you just need a place to stay for the night.

Das einzig Positive war die kurze Entfernung zum Strand. Waren zum Glück nur eine Nacht dort. Die Unterkunft ist alt und abgewohnt und dafür völlig überteuert.
