Took my parents to the UP for the first time and they loved their room! Bed was extremely comfortable, everything was super well cleaned, and the location of the motel is perfect for people wanting to go to Mackinaw Island and come back on the same day. I’ll stay here again in a heart beat.

This is a gem amongst all motels and even hotels in the Mackinaw/St. Ignace area. Completely renovated, just like the pictures show it. And dog-friendly! Yes, you can hear occasional noise from adjacent rooms but that’s no difference when staying in a hotel. I will return to this motel anytime if I need an overnight stay in the area.

Our stay here was perfect— 5 mins from the ferry to Mackinac, very clean and modern interior, and check in/out was quick and easy! This is a perfect place to stay, we didn’t mind it being on the smaller side as we spent most of our trip out and about. For the price you cannot beat this especially compared to other surrounding options!

The room was really nice and clean. It looks like it was recently renovated. There was a good amount of kitchen supplies like coffee cups, plates, and glasses. I loved the remote check in and check out. It made it simple to check in and check out with two dogs in tow.

Good sized room with King Bed. Clean with modern fixtures. Walls were thin so conversation in next door rooms made sleep difficult. Traffic noise was also a concern. Good location.

The Inn at shady pines is maybe the most attractive roadside motel style place you’ll ever see. Rooms are tastefully decorated and fully updated. Great shower. Comfy mattresses. Smart TV. Very clean and neat. We did have a small problem and the management addressed it professionally and immediately. I would definitely stay here again.

Clean - Cute - Perfect

I never leave reviews but I have to for this one. We find ourselves in/passing through St Ignace often … the hotels are all old and leave much to be desired. This place is the exception … feels new, is immaculate, beds were exceptionally comfortable, perfect little sink/counter space. And all 5 min from town. We loved it and this will be our go-to from now on!

A nice surprise along Rt 2 in St. Ignace

The interior of the Inn was freshly and beautifully renovated!!! Very clean. Modern. Comfortable. It is near the lake so it naturally was damp and buggy outside. Some flying friends came in with us. That’s Nature but may bother some people.
New and fresh!
Modern fixtures
Comfy beds
Nice toiletries!
