Clean “Up-North” Michigan motel
This small family owned motel in Onekema exceeded our expectations. Friendly staff, clean and comfy rooms, and easy access to the area around it. Sometimes these independently owned property can be a little sketchy, but not this one. It’s not the Ritz by any means, but for the location, price, and a safe place to rest your head.
