You can do better.
Really cramped bathroom. Motel probably built in 50s or 60s. Dated, timeworn. Not beachfront, could barely see the lake through trees. Very small breakfast area with meager offerings. Only eggs offered were hard boiled, no meat, no fruit. Killed a roach that was crawling on the ceiling of our room.

The hotel was clean and a great location. I had a view of Lake Huron from my balcony and access from the hotel. The rooms are a little outdated and could use some TLC, but once again very clean and relatively comfortable. For the price point I thought it was a great stay and would stay again if in the area.

Some quirks but definitely worth the stay!
A lovely older motel with wooden balcony views of Lake Huron and beach access a very short walk from the motel. Things were clean but slightly sparse (coverlets were too short, but at the end of my stay, I found another blanket in the drawer, which I'd wished I'd known about earlier! :-). The mini shampoo provided wasnt enough for my hair and left it waxy feeling. No conditioner. Soap bar felt waxy on my skin too...(Just notes for how to improve, but certainly did NOT mar my stay there at all!) I loved sitting on the wooden balcony chairs provided to watch the freighters move through the lake. The sliding glass door didn't lock and the makeshift jambing system didn't either, so check this before you leave the room. For a single woman, I felt a bit unsafe at night as a result. The staff, especially Katie, were really lovely, friendly and kind! I would recommend anyone on a budget renting here. Breakfast is continental and I think there was an indoor pool on site too. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and would come back again!

The property was very nice and right on the beach. There was a deck off our room could sit and enjoy the scenery and the night cool air. There was also a bike trail near the beach and benches to sit on and ejoy the lake. Employees were all very nice and made sure everyday if there was anything we needed.Very helpful with any questions we had I sure would stay there again.

I was looking for a decent, dog friendly hotel in the vicinity of Alpena. This hotel met all of my criteria and then some. It is setback off of the water some, but the property is literally right on the Lake Huron beach. Easy walk from the room to the beach. The Up North 23 restaurant is right next-door. Beautiful outside dining with a lake view. Got one meal to go from there and they catered to me every step of the way since my dog was not actually allowed inside. The hotel was typical, with a little age on it… But it was clean and convenient. Office staff and cleaning crew were very nice. I will most likely stay there again with my pooch!

Pros and cons but I'd stay here again!
Pros: amazing view, easy walk to the beach, paved walking path along water, comfortable beds, lots of hot water, friendly staff, waterfront restaurant next door, walking distance to town, and reasonable rates. Cons: Badly in need of updates. Carpet old and dingy, table in our room was broken but stayed upright leaning against the wall, has that old musty smell but that cleared up once we opened the sliding doors, the balcony looks as if the wood is going bad, however it seemed safe and sturdy enough, when you sit on the balcony though you can't see the water very well because of the wide boards used for the railing- we actually had a better water view sitting back farther in the room and looking out the doors. Having said that, I also appreciated that it wasn't a big modern high rise - the older quaintness held a certain charm and I loved the peacefulness of the area.
