We ended up staying 2 times on this trip, exceptionally clean basic rooms, they filled our needs perfectly, great location for visitors to St. Ignace and being able to park right in front of our room made it super easy to unload our stuff for the evening.

Great Stay

We stayed at Wayside the night before we were catching a ferry to Mackinac Island. The rooms were completely remodeled - new paint, carpet, bathrooms, etc. Very clean and comfortable stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful - they called to let us know about an item we left in the room and called the ferry shuttle to pick us up. Overall great stay and service!

Room was clean but very dated. Bed was ok not terrible but not that comfortable. Not the best value imo. Woman at desk was friendly during check in.

Enjoyed our stay. Nothing fancy but was perfect for us. Very clean, roomy, updated and had what we needed. Loved the area. A 5-10 minute walk to the Ferry and downtown for some shopping and restaurants. A couple of things that I would add/change but am not complaining because you can’t beat the price for our stay. Nice to have-if there was a towel rack in the bathroom, nice to have-if there was just a light in the bathroom so the fan didn’t come on all the time and lastly move the lamps above our beds because they are low and we kept hitting our heads on them if sitting in bed. Lol Overall, a very nice stay and the owners were so helpful with whatever we needed.😊

We were passing thru the area and needed lodging for the evening. This motel had a very clean room with what appeared to be new fixtures, windows, paint, etc. We would definitely stay here again.

Worked out great. Quick overnight stop to get to our actual location the next day. Friendly staff, very clean room, loved the fact that the mattress and box spring had bed bug protectors on them (I always check mattresses). Easy in and out. The room was large and bathroom even had a small window. Appreciated the "family run, small buisness" feel and would stay again. Thank you!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are updated and quite clean. Be ready for a bit of noise from other rooms, plumbing, and the road. But overall it was a great value.
