The Sunset Motel

Be Fore Warned. The room was absolutely dreadful and horrifying. It was located near the office. The first impression was the overwhelmingly musty smell that hits you like a ton of bricks. The smell is unrelenting. Stick to your clothes forever type. The room has not been updated in I'm guessing, since forever. Dirty and disgusting carpet, a bathroom with chipped tiles, peeling paint, a blacked shower floor that I didn't dare step into. Mismatched, horribly tired furniture, complete with stained lamp shades. I seriously considered sleeping in my car.

Cute waterfront property. Easy booking. Very quick, courteous check in. Staff knowledgeable about the area. Coupons at check-in desk for local restaurants. Room is outdated but clean. Fully kitchen stocked with coffee, dishes, utensils. According to my husband, the TV was too small, but it's big enough to catch a show in the evening. Rooms overlook the bay BUT you are looking through the parking lot. There is a grassy area on the other side of the parking lot, ON the water. At this time of the year, sun doesn't set over the water but back over Munising but the sunset sky over the water is still beautiful! This is not really walking distance to downtown Munising (you'd have to walk along the highway and past the water treatment plant.

Stayed at a hotel with a great view of the bay. Watched a beautiful sunset every night. Had a great excursion on a boat cruise to the Pictured rocks shoreline. Great variety of food choices. Drove up into the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and hiked to to some very scenic overviews.

The bathroom was horrible. The bottom of the tub was black. Rip in the wall ,mold on the floor. The refrigerator was full of water and the place stunk. We left and I told the woman that checked us in the room is bad so we are leaving. I wrote a email to them asking for a refund and no response.

I booked the room sight unseen. Honestly - over the phone, changing reservation. Me personally I was happy with what I've got. This motel - you can pick one of two: great lake view or luxury accommodations. Pick the first one and be happy with it. I know I was! Lake is right there, you can see it from your room or step out... On the other hand hubby was NOT happy with a bathroom. And I have to agree it was a joke. I personally don't care but if you do, well... I would attach pictures if I could figure how. Lol. You wouldn't regret it if you don't expect luxury hotel. Also, there's an office but don't expect much help there. They are mostly closed.

Location: great view, quiet setting. Enjoyed the sunsets from the many comfortable seating options in the ***** of grass area right next to Lake Superior. Unfortunately, the cars are parked between the roo.s and the lake, so your main view from the lower level rooms is just what you can see around the cars. As for the room, ours was comfy enough. Including a microwave, coffeemaker, mini fridge. There are 2 lower level rooms that have rooms above them. We were in the first one, right next to the office. Not too noisy, which was a pleasant surprise. The first thing we noticed upon arrival (we stayed 4 nights) was the overwhelming musty odor. Very strong even though they had the window open before we got there. The carpet was tired and no longer had any effective padding, so it felt like we were walking directly on concrete. The comforter on the bed was full of stains. The paint in the bathroom was peeling near the shower, and the tub caulking was moldy in places where they tried to repair it on the cheap. The few electrical outlets were so old and worn, making them so loose that the plug in chargers for our phones sort of hung there half out. We could get them to stay in just enough to get them to charge. The first thing we did was head to the local store to find the best option for a room deodorizer we could find (I can recommend Citrus Magic orange scent-be sure to bring a supply of your favorite). We did not get into any of the other rooms, so I can't say whether this is a widespread problem, but given the fact that there are plenty of other reviews that list some of the same issues, I can't imagine that our room was the exception. The owners should be ashamed and embarrassed of their property. They charged $200 a night off-peak and it's quite obvious they have not put anything back into maintaining the property. A pity, because it's a truly wonderful location.

Ok, the positives are the location on the water with great views of the sunset 🌇 and unit has a kitchenette. However the bed was extremely uncomfortable and lacks support. Bedroom is tiny and hard to maneuver around. Curtain rod in Bedroom was bent with no end caps so when you try to shut the curtains for privacy the rod falls down. Bathroom is narrow and tiny. No offense to those who are larger in stature but they would have a hard time moving around in both the Bedroom and Bathroom. Uncomfortable indoor and outdoor seating. Very disappointed considering what we paid for 2 nights lodging.

Assigned to.Room 103. Peeling paint in the bathroom. Mold around tub. Hair on floor that was not mine. Sagging rotting floor around kiteneyte area. Badly worn room. Complained to management and nothing was done to improve my stay. Very big mistake to book at this property.

This place is dodgy. Our bill was $200.00 and the room was a $50 room. If you count the water worth $150.00 then go for it. Carpet dingy in room AND BATHROOM. Mold in tub. Worn furniture. Please don't pay rack rate if you stay. Try the Comfort Inn down the road.
