This charming motel has a 50’s vibe! Rooms are beautiful and well appointed with every little detail. The views of the St. Clair River are amazing! The two inside window barrel chairs, along with your own outside patio chairs secure your views of the grand Port Huron freighters coming up river headed to Detroit. Don’t pass up a chance to stay here or miss this secluded charming river town.

We live seeing the freighters on the river. We booked this hotel for a two night getaway and we absolutely loved it. The views were great. Our room was very clean and a mix of old school and modern. The pool was clean and perfect for the 98° days! They also have the River Crab restaurant attached to the property right on the water, and the food is amazing. Great get away and pet friendly…we will be back soon!

I love this property & stay! This time I was disappointed that under the beds was not sufficiently cleaned There were a couple items under the beds that did not belong to us, couple empties & a bucket. Also the bathroom door was hard to open & close, warped, needs to be fixed.

Nice view of the St. Claire River even if it was on the parking lot side to view the many freighters in passing.. Rooms clean and quiet. Added bonus was lunch at the River Crab fine restaurant in the same lot. Nice two day getaway on a belated spring week without driving too far from my home base.
