“My editorial view is that this motel's true draw is its direct access to Lake Huron, a stretch of beach just steps from your door offering a remarkable panorama of the water and bridge, all at a price point that's hard to overlook. The rooms, while simple, are notably clean with exceptionally comfortable beds and showers that deliver satisfying pressure, even if the decor might benefit from a refresh.”
