What guests think

At Best Western of Harbor Springs, travelers widely praise very clean, well kept rooms and facilities, friendly, attentive staff, and a standout complimentary breakfast, while noting convenient car access between Harbor Springs and Petoskey and proximity to area ski hills.

Recurring drawbacks include traffic noise from the busy road, thin walls, and the exterior-entry layout that requires walking outdoors to reach breakfast, the pool, and the hot tub. Rooms are generally updated and comfortable, with guests appreciating the single-level setup and convenient parking, though a few note musty odors, older carpets, or small maintenance quirks. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a straightforward, well-run base for exploring the area.

Included breakfast was great. Easy drive to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Not much walkable from hotel but easy access with car and plenty of parking. Nice pool area and hotel is kept very clean even tho rooms are slightly dated. Staff always helpful and accommodating.plan to come back again next year :)

Good location for us, near the ski hills. Be aware that the rooms have exterior doors. You have to walk outside to the pool, hot tub, and breakfast area. It wasn't far, but we were surprised by that, and it was a little cold in the winter.

We've come here for 2 years now to drive the Tunnel of Trees, staying at this hotel, and we've decided its going to be a yearly destination. Great location, nice quiet hotel, very friendly staff, super clean room/pool/fitness room, and yummy breakfast.

Beautiful clean hotel, very good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, great pool and fitness. We were just one night, but decided to come back to several days and explore everything around. Only our suggestions are make longer pool time(until 11pm, not 10pm) and put some rug in the shower to avoid wet floor. Highly recommended 👌

The first room bed was wet 😡, they upgraded us to a suite, the ac unit had mold and it was spreading to the whole room when turned on, so needless to say I did not sleep. Very disappointed in the hotel, I thought booking at a hotel that the reviews were about how clean it was and to find out this was a lie 😡

The motel is very nice. It is clean and comfortable. The staff was great. It is in a good location about halfway between Harbor Springs and Petoskey, so getting to either place is quick. The only problem I had at all was that the people in the rooms near me liked to stand outside by their cars and talk (which, since it is a motel, was right outside my room) and the walls are a little thin, but I may have just had bad luck on that count, and there is probably not much the motel could do about it. Everything else was great, and I would recommend this motel.

We really enjoyed this property and location. I thought it might be noisy at the intersection but once we shut the room door, it was very quiet. The room was spacious and I enjoyed the couch and the chair with a foot stool. Other than needing a towel bar by the sink for a hand towel, the room was perfect with a fridge, sink and microwave!

The outlets in the room were so loose that we had to charge our phones by the bathroom as it was the only outlet that would make a good connection.

Theresa at front desk was rude. Said they had no public rest room for my 6 year old..In her opinion if you stay over one night you better reuse the same towels as they are short staffed.. We could not take drinks to the pool. Wpould not stay here again.

Being next to M-119 and a traffic light, the road noise was horrible during the day/evening hours. At night, it wasn't quite as bad as the light transitioned into a blinking light so the vehicles with noisy engines/mufflers mostly kept going through.

I don’t typically write reviews, but I figured this one was needed. Everything was just plain good. Everything was super clean, everybody was really friendly, everything went so smoothly. Take for example the continental breakfast: not typically the best thing out there as far as breakfast goes, but this one was perfectly executed, clean, well serviced, etc. Literally the first time I’ve had scrambled eggs not scrambled to order that were not overcooked. They came in a little clamshell container with some wax paper over the eggs to trap heat and steam. Someone took the time to figure that out and do it. One example among many. Good work. Will always stay here in the future.
