Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Michigan City

10/10 Excellent
"Great free on site well lit parking. Breakfast had waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage and all kind of cold items like cereal etc. We were not expecting that with what we paid for the room! We only gave four stars for how clean the bathroom was. It wasnโ€™t bad but just an extra look over would have probably got them five stars. Would definitely stay there again!!! Thank you"
