Nice little place with alot of old touches. Motel was nuilt on 1951 so we enjoyrd some of the rustic touches. We were there for a concert, so only slept there but it was worth the cost.

This is a roadside north woods classic. Knotty pine galore. The room is small and had no frills (like a fridge or microwave), but it was comfortable for one night while on the road and reasonably priced.

There was beach access and a place to sit and view Lake Huron and Mackinac Island. The free breakfast was delicious. Very friendly people!

Escape from the traditional hotel experience
The room is like a cabin, with a beautiful beach and campfire space too. Wonderful value and an escape from the normal hotel room experience. Pet friendly and staff are very helpful.

We were running late and in an area with no cell service. The owner held the room and happily facilitated a very late check in.

The rooms had a cabin feel to them. They are pet friendly, which is a plus for me.
The motel was very cute and clean. The mattress could stand to be upgraded, but all in all we would stay at Pines Motel again.

Quite dated and no mini-refrigerator, but the staff was great and the location was convenient. It is not the Radisson, but the value was good and we would stay again.

Vintage Michigan fun
This Vintage motel was just the "old Michigan" experience we were hoping for. Knotty pine walls, a new shower stall and the deli next door for breakfast made our stay fun and relaxing.

I was approached by people that lived there asking me to use my phone right after I checked in. Staff was asking me where such people want and when they were coming back, which I thought was very odd. I didn’t stay the second night I paid for as I didn’t feel comfortable there. The beach on lake Huron was awesome
