The rooms had a nice rustic feel and were spacious. The beds were very comfortable. It is not very often that you get a full size refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot and a cook top in the room. We very much enjoyed our stay.

I have a new favorite motel in GR! The full size fridge is a game changer. The room was great, big, comfy bed, tub and shower, microwave worked beautifully, fridge kept stuff nice and cold. Staff were all friendly. Didn’t need much from housekeeping but they checked in daily. They alerted me when they had to plow. Oh yeah and it was cold out but the room stayed warm. There is a nice restaurant in walking distance if it’s not January and gusting wind. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

While the property is on the older side, my room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The clerk was friendly and food at the adjacent restaurant was excellent and not expensive.

Stayed here twice (so far) while passing through for Christmas holidays. The rooms are always super clean, smell fresh, and are toasty warm for the winter. Forest Lake Restaurant is a quick walk from the rooms (2 minutes) and has excellent food. We love stopping here.
