Sunset Acres Motel

Clean room nice area places to eat nearby

Not many. Just a small town in Michigan

This is a really run-down, low-quality motel. SKIP IT! DANGEROUS (maybe even illegal) items: Water is scaldingly hot. The single-handle control in shower is broken, spins 360 degrees, so it's VERY difficult to avoid being burned. My wife burned her face before we knew it was broken. There are NO smoke alarms in room. No grab bars ANYWHERE in bathroom/shower. The step down outside the door is almost a foot high, with no hand-hold. Very dangerous if you're not exceedingly careful. Needs another intermediate step outside door. Deadbolt lock inop/damaged. Useless NO ONE is on-site. No phone in rooms. Calling motel number gets only a voicemail, and a text with partial answer to questions "sometime" later. Non-Dangerous Items/Convenience: Needs: Another small waste container bathroom Extra bath mat for multi-day stay Mat in front of sink As I said, there is no one on site, and they don't send instructions for checkin until "just before check-in". The basic instructions, including WHEN to expect the details, should be sent with reservation confirmation. Very basic "Nice-to-have:" There are almost NO amenities: Only the tiniest sliver of soap for 3 days, no shampoo. No Kleenex. Curtains don't cover windows. No chair/desk anywhere, or luggage racks. Just an extremely flimsy round bedside table. No place to put suitcases. No garment hooks in bathroom for clothes. Some of these would be very inexpensive to address. In any case, we will NOT be staying there again.

Sunset Acres is a really cute little motel with a nice room, but if you’re sensitive to cigarette smoke, this may not be the best choice. The smell was strong enough that I coughed until I fell asleep. Otherwise, it’s a charming spot, but the lingering smoke takes away from the comfort.
