It is a quaint older motel. The views of the channel are nice and a walkway along the channel leads to downtown shopping and eats - including a brewery

Calm, affordable, clean, lovely view.
Very cute little place, perfect for family setting, a short walk away from the beach, and good places to sit and watch the river at night while you wind down after a long day in the lake.

Retro looking motel on the Manistee river. Simple but clean. Comfortable beds, larger refrigerator than most hotels, plenty of storage space in dresser and under the beds. Glider chairs and picnic table facing the river for nice view of the sunset. Close to downtown and Lake Michigan.

Great location
The location was great.. enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching the boats on the river. The gliding chairs were awesome! You can walk the river walk to town or the beach. The bathroom needs a lot of TLC…we were told that in the off season months they are going to update and redo electrical… Cassandra (?) at the front desk was awesome…
The main bedroom was clean and updated.

Great location
The location is perfect, close enough to downtown but a quiet location. Our room didn't have a walk out so we didn't have anywhere to sit outside. Rooms with walkouts have chairs, picnic tables and a bbq. Even in the room there was no where to sit but the bed. A chair or two would've been great. There was air conditioning, a fridge and microwave and the room was a good size.
