What guests think
Holiday Motel draws strong praise for spotless, thoughtfully updated rooms with cozy retro charm, and exceptionally friendly, hands-on owners who make stays feel personal, convenient, and safe for road-trippers, families, and pet owners passing through Manistique.
Cleanliness is a standout across reviews, with many noting well-maintained rooms and grounds. Common trade-offs include small rooms, occasional road or neighbor noise, and mixed feedback on mattress firmness. Amenities are simple—outdoor fire pit and seating, pet-friendly grounds, and a light coffee-and-snack morning offering that some find too sparse. Expect a clean, friendly, retro roadside stay with basic extras.

Our stay at the Holiday Motel Manistique was perfect! What a great place to stay. Stayed 3 nights. Easy parking in front of your door. Owner greeted us and welcomed with such interesting stories of the past history of his motel and area. Safe easy parking in front of your door. Cutest old school motor inn updated with marble countertops in bath and modern furniture with plenty of built in USB ports for phones and laptops. Bed was so comfortable with 5 immaculate pillows and comforter. Good coffee, fruit and breakfast bars every morning. I will definitely be back to the Holiday Motel for this updated old school charm of the motor inns we all remember. Thanks.

Newly painted and carpeted and very clean! There was a bonfire lit in the yard with everything needed for s'mores. I appreciated the power strip on the desk - a lot of mid-century motels lack places to charge phones and watches, so this was a nice surprise

Clean rooms and comfy beds. Some nights there is a bonfire with s’mores kits provided. Bag toss boards available to play as well. Just outside of Manistique city limits, so it’s quieter & still only a 5-7min drive to downtown. The owner is a super nice guy and made us feel so welcome. There is an ice machine in the office which provides a coffee bar & some light breakfast items in the mornings. We stayed with our 3 kids & dog, and we hope to stay again - we loved exploring the UP, & this was a great “home base!”

The Holiday Motel is a very nice option when traveling through the UP. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They are pet-friendly and have a nice location with an area to walk your dog. The rooms are clean and recently renovated. We enjoyed a drink and dinner at a nearby restaurant and took our dog for a beautiful morning walk on the Manistique boardwalk, only minutes away.

The cleanest motel we've ever stayed in. It was noticeably cleaner than the expensive AirBNB we just came from which had a crazy cleaning fee and so many responsibilities for check out. It was great to just arrive at Holiday to a very warm welcome from the proprietor and get some good rest before a long drive. The TV has sports so we were able to watch a NHL game which was a great surprise and the shower was really clean and good water pressure. The provided coffee in the office in the morning was strong and a wonderful start to our day. Thank you again! We'd for sure stay during another trip to the UP, it breaks up the drive great - and downtown Manistique is super cute and has lots of dining options compared to other towns you could overnight in!

Ive probably only stayed at about a handful kf motels in my whole life, always choosing to stay at hotels. But this was a last minute trip on a holiday weekend with very few places having availability. Reviews were good here so thought i would give it a try. Was presently surprised how nice it was. Older motel that has been recently updated. Bathroom had newer hardware. Room had new windows, you could tell the owner put money into fixing up the motel. The owner was super nice checking us in and out the next morning. They had coffee, fruit and bars in the lobby in the morning. Bed in the room was a little hard for us but i know everyone has there own preferences when it comes to beds. Towels were a bit threadbare so i would recommend thise get updated soon. Room was clean and we felt very safe. There was a big storm that knocked out power in the middle of the night so the internet was out in town, but nothing he could have done about that. Overall if i ever come back to this area i will stay here again and will recommend to others.

The friendly managers have taken excellent care in updating a vintage roadside motel into a chic place to spend a night or two. The knotty pine wall in the bedroom gave it a woodsy vibe. They have adirondack chairs and a firepit too. It is set back a bit from U.S. 2 and has good windows so we found it quiet for sleeping.

Cute place, clean. Check in staff was very friendly & enthusiastic. King bed was VERY comfortable. Water for bath/shower takes a while to warm up. A fair amount of road noise but not bad enough at night to disrupt sleep. We were woken up by a diesel truck warming up early morning right outside our window. All in all would stay here again if in the area.

I love this little hotel! My stay was only for 2 nights but the room was very comfortable, clean and the owner genuinely seemed to care for each guest as they checked in/out or were just getting a coffee in the lobby. He was very friendly and takes great pride in his work and care for the grounds of his hotel. I just wish I would have got his name! My only issue was that the walls and flooring are pretty thin and can hear every step of your neighbors and the sound of the traffic from the road in which the hotel sits off of. I would stay here again and would definitely recommend to my family and friends as a great place to stay.

Ron was the best host we have EVER had at a motel! He called prior to our arrival to check in on our travels. He was friendly, cheerful, and made our stay feel like we were at home. We arrived late evening and were invited to make s’mores over an open fire pit on the motel grounds. The room was clean, cozy and comfortable. We awoke rested, refreshed and ready to continue our journey. Definitely bookmarking this motel for the next time we travel through Michigan’s Upper Peninsula!

Clean rooms and comfy beds. Some nights there is a bonfire with s’mores kits provided. Bag toss boards available to play as well. Just outside of Manistique city limits, so it’s quieter & still only a 5-7min drive to downtown. The owner is a super nice guy and made us feel so welcome. There is an ice machine in the office which provides a coffee bar & some light breakfast items in the mornings. We stayed with our 3 kids & dog, and we hope to stay again - we loved exploring the UP, & this was a great “home base!”

The Holiday Motel is a very nice option when traveling through the UP. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They are pet-friendly and have a nice location with an area to walk your dog. The rooms are clean and recently renovated. We enjoyed a drink and dinner at a nearby restaurant and took our dog for a beautiful morning walk on the Manistique boardwalk, only minutes away.

This was a perfect place to stop going from Wisconsin to Michigan. The owner was friendly and gave us a good recommendation for dinner.

Our stay at the Holiday Motel Manistique was perfect! What a great place to stay. Stayed 3 nights. Easy parking in front of your door. Owner greeted us and welcomed with such interesting stories of the past history of his motel and area. Safe easy parking in front of your door. Cutest old school motor inn updated with marble countertops in bath and modern furniture with plenty of built in USB ports for phones and laptops. Bed was so comfortable with 5 immaculate pillows and comforter. Good coffee, fruit and breakfast bars every morning. I will definitely be back to the Holiday Motel for this updated old school charm of the motor inns we all remember. Thanks.

I was not impressed with the “free breakfast” that consisted of a Walmart brand granola bar and apples/oranges. If it isn’t a breakfast then don’t list it as one. People plan for these things when they book. The room was very clean and very comfortable bedding and beds

Check in and check out were easy, staff couldn't have been more friendly, parking was right outside our door, and room was clean and well furnished. Dining options were not near the Motel, but easily drivable. I would stay here again if I was in the area.

No breakfast (granola bar). No comfortable chair in room. Straight hard back wood with small seat. Need to use plastic chairs from lawn (or stand up). Poor tv system.

Ive probably only stayed at about a handful kf motels in my whole life, always choosing to stay at hotels. But this was a last minute trip on a holiday weekend with very few places having availability. Reviews were good here so thought i would give it a try. Was presently surprised how nice it was. Older motel that has been recently updated. Bathroom had newer hardware. Room had new windows, you could tell the owner put money into fixing up the motel. The owner was super nice checking us in and out the next morning. They had coffee, fruit and bars in the lobby in the morning. Bed in the room was a little hard for us but i know everyone has there own preferences when it comes to beds. Towels were a bit threadbare so i would recommend thise get updated soon. Room was clean and we felt very safe. There was a big storm that knocked out power in the middle of the night so the internet was out in town, but nothing he could have done about that. Overall if i ever come back to this area i will stay here again and will recommend to others.

I loved having direct communication with the manager/owner. The room were was absolutely adorable. The coffee was good and property was lovely. I would definitely stay there again. The only suggestion that I had was that the breakfast was a bit sparse. There were only granola bars and apples. Would like to have had some cereal, bagel or oatmeal or something different. Otherwise excellent stay.

Great little up north motel. I stayed there two times during my recent adventure in the Upper Peninsula. Owner is very friendly and gave me a great recommendation for smoked fish. :)

I am glad I picked this motel for our staying. It's located not far from Manistique downtown and we liked the location. Motel is newly remodeled, with nice looking spacious rooms, wooden interiors, comfy beds, chairs and benches outside. The room and everything else were perfectly clean. The only thing I'd add to the room is a small table for people who like to eat inside, We also enjoyed the area behind the motel, it's very pretty and we had a pleasant walk out there in the evening.
