Charming but dated!

Great view of the bay, clean and friendly, easy check in, but motel is old and backed up to a hill, floors are unlevel and nothing is plumb in the building. Overall comfortable and a rustic charm but in need of major overhaul.

The place was old. Pockets doors on the bathroom. Bathroom sink is tilted and toilet is loose on the floor. Mattresses sag in the middle. Tv placed above small table tilted downward…watch your head getting up! Ouch, more than once we bumped our heads and back room has a definite dip!

I would recommend Carla’s place to anyone traveling through the area. Carla her self checked my friend and i in late in the evening. She stayed to make sure our tv worked and told us some cool places near by to check out. The room was perfect for two people just needing a place to stay. Beautiful sunrise view, nice patio to enjoy coffee. Horse shoe and cornhole games in the yard. Refrigerator, coffee, and even a microwave. What really stood out and what would bring us back, is how accommodating Carla was. We woke up to a flat tire in the morning and with it being on a weekend, no place around was able to help. Carla was understanding and told us to stay as long as we needed past check out untill we could get help to get us back on the road safely!

What a wonderful view from our room of the sunrise. Dog friendly that was nice. There is no restaurant at site even advertisement said there was however Carla had a great list of resturants near by. On recommenday would be to have one dog friendly room with a railing near the 3 steps We appreciated the grab bars near the front door.

Carla was very pleasant and the overnight was great for just 1 person. Too tight if my wife had been with me. It needs more TLC and general upkeep. I congratulate the owners for keeping it going, though in a tough economy. The next-door restaurant was closed, and none were right nearby. The view facing east across the bay was gorgeous and the price was good.

This motel was unkept and in bad need of repair. There was a tree laying on the back of the building with a 4x4 proping up the over hang. Our room smelled of wet dog. The room was dirty with hair stuck to the camper size (no joke on the size) bathroom wall, no bathroom door only a curtain. The bathroom window (inside of shower) didn't close completely. The toiltet was approximately 3 feet from the edge of the bed.The floor around the edges of the room needed vacuuming. Cob webs on the ceiling. Upholstered furniture was broken and filthy. We would have stayed elsewhere if another was available within our budget and in the Keeweenaw.

This is your typical "mom & pop" motel of the 50s and 60s. The cute picture is misleading, because it is so old and dated. The room is extremely small. We had to put our suitcase on one of the comfy chairs, because there was no place else and no luggage rack. The bathroom was so small and it was impossible to use the only outlet in there. We stayed 2 nights. When we returned from our travels on the second day, we discovered that the trash had been taken out (though they did not bother to put new bags in the cans.) They left a new coffee packet, but hadn't cleaned out the coffee pot. New towels were left, but we had to go ask for toilet paper. And asking for anything can be problematic because the host/owner is not on site. If you just need a quick place to sleep and leave, this would work, I guess, but we were hoping for much more.
