My husband and I stayed over a weekend. We were asked by the lady at the front desk to turn off the AC when we left the room. It was a cool, rainy weekend, so that was not a big deal. She also let us know the pool was being repaired and apologized for this. The furniture was old and... More

No, it's not a big commercial chain, so don't apply the same criteria. Pleasant hosts, comfortable beds, clean room and nice pool. They ask that the AC be shut off when you're out for an extended period... a very reasonable request.

I have stayed at this Motel many times and it has always been a very positive experience. Owners are friendly, pool was clean and refreshing. The rooms are always very clean. I travel frequently and for the $$$ there is not a better value around.

Most hotels have very stiff and starchy comforters on them, but theirs are very soft and warm. Our children love the pool during... More

Our family took a quick weekend off to explore the great beauty of Northern Michigan. We stayed at the Bella Vista Inn. The rooms were spacious, clean, and staff made the weekend enjoyable.

We stay often at this property and always enjoy the stay. The owners are always on site and very helpfull if needed. Rooms are large and very clean, microwave and refrigerator are a nice touch. Location is close to casino and Crystal Mountian Resort. I travel over 115 nights a year, mostly for business, so when it's play time my... More
