What guests think
At Manistee Inn & Marina, reviewers consistently praise the central riverfront location and easy parking, and describe friendly staff alongside recurring concerns about limited front-desk availability, especially in the evening and early morning.
Many guests find the rooms basic and spacious, though numerous reviews cite very soft or sagging mattresses, occasional low shower pressure, and some noise or dated touches. A few reviews note dusty areas, bathroom grime, or a musty odor. There is no traditional breakfast—expect coffee and light snacks only—but numerous restaurants are an easy walk. Overall, expect a no-frills, walkable stay centered on location and value.

Facilities
Parking is easy and often under-deck. The riverfront setting offers boat slips and related amenities, but overall facilities are basic.

Great location. A little older property and operations. You get a physical key. Also went to use the hair dryer and the entire thing came off the wall. Microwave and fridge in room. Beds were comfy. Walked to everything. Parking seemed a little limited but I think there was more parking under the deck. Coffee nook for the morning. Staff asked about our room after we checked in which was nice.

Employees were above & beyond with friendly service. Room was very clean. Beds were squishy & pillows were thick - I liked, husband not so much. River view - Amazing! Loved the River walk just outside the door. There was picnic table & benches and a fish cleaning station. they even have freezers to put your clean catch in. Also docks if you bring your boat right outside the hotel doors. Delicious Chocolate & ice cream store. Loved the Elk Pattie, choc covered pretzels. TJ's - great food & craft beer on tap - get a long flight! Cute shops along main street, our favorite was the Veteran's store where everything is made by Veteran's. The owner was super nice to chat with. Anyway, so much was walkable from our Hotel & we loved it. Two beautiful sandy Lake Michigan beaches on both sides at the mouth of the river. (Flush toilets, dressing rooms & snacks). Manistee is the place to be! And this hotel is the best choice! We will be back next year & bring family. Thank You for such a wonderful Hotel to vacation at.

The Bad: uncomfortable beds, no draperies in room with 2 windows so light pollution, bathroom door did not close towels were rough and undersized dirty floor grout in bathroom bedside light not working correctly hanging rail but no clothes hangers dirty bedside table gap all around the door, right next to lower entrance so heard everyone arriving and departing ... ALL NIGHT disappointing attempt at updating the room Would not recommend will not stay again

On the positive side the hotel is right on the Riverwalk which is awesome. We really enjoyed our walk and the view from our room. Unfortunately room cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There was an empty water bottle under the bathroom sink and a considerable amount of hair on the bathroom floor. Room also had a somewhat musty odor. Also disappointing when we checked in there was a sign at the desk to call the number shown, which we did and waited about 15 minutes for someone to come. The young lady was apologetic but still frustrating. This location has a lot going for it but for the price was disappointed.

While this is a pretty basic hotel, it met all of our needs. Our room was quiet. Parking was easy (parking garage). The room was very clean. Room features were not all listed on Expedia. It did have a microwave and refrigerator in addition to the mentioned coffee maker. There was a small snack room in the facility with tea bags, fresh fruit, and snack bars. It was close to walking paths along the river and restaurants. (This is northern Michigan, so restaurants close early)would recommend this as an affordable hotel.

Great room, great price, great view. Only complaint, no one at front desk. No instructions. After waiting 10 mins for someone to answer bell, found a bus card on desk & called for instructions. How would you know your key was in an envelope behind the sign that says press button? This was 5:30 pm. Same next morning, no one around. Not a very welcoming feeling. Otherwise, area is wonderful for walking & many options for eating.

Honestly, the location is very good. However, there was virtually no staff. The hall and rooms on the lower floor were all tile. As a result, every time someone went in or out of their room, the door would slam. Of course, the only things that really matter in any hotel room are the bed and the water pressure. The shower was barely more than a trickle. The bed should have been put in a dumpster 5 or 10 years ago. Whenever I sat or layed down on the bed, I literally sank into the mattress 8 to 10 inches! Certainly, I'm not blaming the skeleton staff. The owners need to update or sell.

I couldn't even check in to the hotel! Get a text messege at 9:07pm, that the lobby is closed at 9. Ok I understand that, every other hotel has employees for late night check in. Get there, and its closed! Couldnt even get someone on the phone. Travel agency couldn't get anyone on the phone either. Had to go find another place at 10pm, and they wont refund my money due to their non-refundable policy. Save yourself the headache and avoid this place.

The property is downtown so walking distance to restaurants and shops. No personel at the desk from early evening until 8 a.m. which caused me to make the pot of coffee in the lobby area. I did this because the room had 1 Cup coffee pods for a coffee maker that made a 5 cup pot. Even using both pods was inadequate. No continental breakfast, just coffee and som granola bars

We were in Manistee overnight to attend an event. This hotel was in the perfect location...River Street in the downtown district. And it was clean and comfortable and very affordable. Check-in was easy. Front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. Free parking. Lots of amenities walkable from here. And we enjoyed a bit of stroll on the boardwalk along the river.

Very nice place with friendly staff. Cannot beat the location, you walk out and you are right in the middle of the Downtown and River Street. It sits right along the river which is cool and the parking on site is perfect as the street parking is only 2 hours. Would definitely recommend if you want to experience downtown Manistee. Short drive to beach too.

This was a nice hotel right in the center of Manistee in the river, close to shops and restaurants. It was not fancy and could use some refreshing (worn and frayed carpet in areas, stan on room chair) but it was nice enough and clean. And the location couldn't be beat. They did not offer a breakfast (I was told that, so no worries there) and did not have a hairdryer in the room (just an FYI to bring your own).

Enjoyed our stay. Would recommend this facility to anyone. All “pluses” no “negatives.” Also thanks for recommending “The Bungalow” for breakfast on the morning we left. And “T.T.s Pub” for dinner the night we checked in.

The property is downtown so walking distance to restaurants and shops. No personel at the desk from early evening until 8 a.m. which caused me to make the pot of coffee in the lobby area. I did this because the room had 1 Cup coffee pods for a coffee maker that made a 5 cup pot. Even using both pods was inadequate. No continental breakfast, just coffee and som granola bars

Great location. A little older property and operations. You get a physical key. Also went to use the hair dryer and the entire thing came off the wall. Microwave and fridge in room. Beds were comfy. Walked to everything. Parking seemed a little limited but I think there was more parking under the deck. Coffee nook for the morning. Staff asked about our room after we checked in which was nice.

Would’ve liked to have seen a little better stocking of the kitchen breakfast area.

Location A . Parking A . Staff friendly and helpful. It is basic. Breakfast bars is extent of food. But plenty of coffee. Old style door keys which means anyone finding a key or taking a key has access to the front door at any hour. Also, no one on duty at the desk overnight. Different. Rooms clean. We liked it. Would go again.

While this is a pretty basic hotel, it met all of our needs. Our room was quiet. Parking was easy (parking garage). The room was very clean. Room features were not all listed on Expedia. It did have a microwave and refrigerator in addition to the mentioned coffee maker. There was a small snack room in the facility with tea bags, fresh fruit, and snack bars. It was close to walking paths along the river and restaurants. (This is northern Michigan, so restaurants close early)would recommend this as an affordable hotel.

Bed spread had hairs on it, coffee pot was filthy like it had never been cleaned with coffee in it. Shower was nice and location is excellent. Parking lot was blocked off supposedly for repair but per other reviews it has been a while. Elevator was in operative. Bed very very soft and pillows almost don't exist. Had to push bed back against the wall myself. 2 useable plugs for charges in whole room. Over all ok stay bit could use some love and care but other reviews seems like has

This motel right in downtown Manistee is wonderful ! We had a large comfortable king bed room with coffee, microwave, and mini fridge in the room. Front desk was very welcoming to make us feel very comfortable. Walking distance to many restaurants, with boardwalk along channel to park at lake Michigan. Highly recommend!

A poor value for the price. Parking ramp was deteriorated and closed so we had to park on the street. Elevator was out of order. Front desk not staffed. Water-stained ceiling in hallway. Continental breakfast was a pre-packaged granola bar. Room was clean and adequate with a comfortable bed. Still, cannot recommend.

Old hotel, badly peeled tubs and the bed was so soft I thought it was going to fold in half once I got in bed! Parking under construction and front desk lady put us in rooms facing nothing but parked trucks, absolutely no view! Weird spot!
