Liked: Cleanliness
Positives: 1) Friendly Staff 2) Clean 3) Nice view of the bay 4) Good price for the location. Negatives: 1) The intermittent sound of flushing water coming from the floor vents woke us up repeatedly throughout the night. 2) The room was stuffy as the air conditioning unit struggled to compensate for the uncontrollable heat that was blowing out of the floor vents in July. 3) My husband and I suffered from back pain for days due to the hard bed. 4) Loud neighbors woke us up in the middle of the night and early morning. This property has potential, but I would not book here again due to the poor sleep quality.

Not the fault of the Motel, it we booked it for its location. However, the road was closed meaning we had to drive 15 minutes around the town to get 1/2 mile away. Air conditioner too small for the room and it never cooled down. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful!

Disappointed in Munising

No…just no. The only thing good about this place is the view. First they didn’t have the key so I had to go unlock the door myself. The room was old. Walls were disguising. Bed had a huge dip in it. Screen came off the rails. Stairs at night (our room was one of the few upstairs) were dark and dangerous. Toilet was the size of child’s. Shower curtain was stained and grungy.

It was a beautiful area and for the price of the room, the rooms could be updated. Electrical outlets were loose and door was tough. To open. Just felt old and dated.

This no-frills motel has incredible views and is well located. We loved the row Adirondack chairs facing the lake and the sweet chairs outside our room. The management knows what the main selling point of the Sunset is. The breakfast was decent: we took our yogurts and danishes and went on a great hike. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Invest some money into improving the rooms. The bed I slept in leaned to the side, and the couch bed had such a dent n the mattress that it was more comfortable to just sleep on the couch.

Beautiful sunset view

We had a nice , quick overnight stay at the Sunset Hotel which is situated facing a beautiful bay off Lake Superior. The check in staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and had two rooms each with a queen bed. The bathroom is small but adequate. There is a beautiful sunset view from each room or the front of the property. One suggestion would be a few more electrical outlets or ubs outlets near the beds.
