Great cozy little older place. We liked it much better than the normal newer mega hotels that just feel cheap. Would definitely recommend if you want a cozy place with a great view of the bay. I enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking my tea (great tea selection) and taking in the nice views. Very relaxing.

Not bad

Not sure where the photos of the nice lobby were taken, but it wasn’t anything we saw… the room was fine but had very thin walls. They actually left us earplugs on the desk which I thought was very strange. The beds were very comfortable, shower needs to be recalled and the wallpaper was peeling off the wall. Exterior leaves much to be desired, but the drive to town was easy.

The room was great. Service was excellent as well but the pool was a major disappointment. The water in the hot tub was so disgusting you couldn’t even see the steps or the bottom. The pool was gross, cloudy and so disappointing.

Good place to stay

A quick trip to Petoskey for relaxation. Great little inn at a fabulous price. Clean. Easy in and out, good coffee in the morning. No breakfast but plenty of places around town for that.

It's ok

It's located a short distance outside of downtown. It's across the street from Little Traverse Bay, so you have a view of the bay from a distance. Clean. Little moldy smell on entrance of room because of a/c. Cold rooms, but we liked that. Bed was not the best, but it was ok. Needs bigger in room garbage cans and lower voltage lighting for outside of rooms. Room was very lit at nighttime and the second night we did unscrew the light bulb so we could sleep. It was ok, but we thought quite expensive considering the age of the hotel.

Loud loud loud hwy noise. There is no lobby, no dinning, no one to greet at check in because there is no office. Window screens and windows are dirty. Room smells as if cat urinated in it or there is hidden mold. Wall air conditioner difficult to adjust; also loud. Room otherwise neat, clean. Would never stay here again and will not recommend. It is a $100 a night motel that changed over $300. Would add photos but almost dark as I txt.

Sorry to leave the bad comment, but first of all, the bathroom sink and shower drain was clogged badly and smells bad. That was beyond terrible....Noise comes from upstairs never stopped. When I used hair dryer, the entire power shut down. There was no staff at the site, my husband had to fix the breaker.

Cute motel

Cute little motel. It needs a little attention to details (heating coil cover), but certainly an acceptable place to stay.
