This place was just literally a long storage shed looking trailer carpets were gross water has this rotten eggs smell and the shower was not pleasant, but I made use of it used a towel there and instantly got red hair in my mouth and on the body. Other then that it was clean, very close by to all attractions and sites if you needed somewhere quick to go here is your place

The room seemed clean but room deodorizer spray was a little overwhelming. And they missed the microwave. Some one had blew up something in there. Honest mistake I guess but makes me wonder what else they missed. Extremely friendly employees at the store for checking and purchases.

Good Location But Not Nice
Pros: Good location right off the highway - about 10 miles to Munising. Good communication before visit and check in was easy.
Cons: The carpeting was thin and torn, the water smelled, one of the beds was very hard and squeaked, the tv was tiny and the bathroom was so small that I had to squeeze by the shower to get to the toilet.

Poor Condition and Dirty
The positives: we had a late check-in and the receptionist was very friendly and left the key in the room for us. It was easy to find and conveniently located.
The not-so-positives: We had low expectations, just needed somewhere to sleep and shower on a road trip. This still failed to meet our expectations... There was 'gunk' on the walls, bedskirt, and sink. There was trash in the can. The bedspread was extremely stained. There was hair in the shower. The soap on the sink looked used (it was open). The blinds on the window were broken leaving large gaps. The bed was rock hard and the pillows were very flat and lumpy. There were lots of holes (patched and not) in the walls. There was a snowmobile map thumbtacked to the wall falling down.... just general disrepair.
I would not recommend staying here, you're better off sleeping in your car...

We loved our stay here. Not luxurious but basic clean, comfortable rooms at a good price. Excellent value! Very close to the Au Train beach and adjacent grocery, and an easy drive to Munising.

Easy check in at the Au Train grocery. Great value. Don't expect a top tier place for a cheap price.
