What guests think

At adoba® hotel Naubinway, travelers describe a simple, roadside stay with contactless check‑in, generally clean but variable rooms, comfortable beds, and a convenient US‑2 location, alongside recurring complaints about limited amenities, inconsistent hot water/heat, and difficulty reaching staff.

Guests value the pet‑friendly policy and drive‑up parking, but note small, older rooms, thin walls, and occasional highway noise. Amenities are basic: often no on‑site breakfast, gym, ice, or laundry, and Wi‑Fi can be spotty. Best for a short, no‑frills stopover while exploring the U.P.

Arrived late so my key was left in the room. Thanks, I'm grateful for the accommodation. Site says office open till 9. No response from knocking on door or from phone calls/texts well before that time. No ice available. No vending machines. 1 very small trash can in room. It feels like they're not quite ready to open, but opened anyhow. Manager suggested The Cove restaurant is a great place for breakfast, so I assumed it was a breakfast restaurant, leaving only a pizza place and a gas station for dining choices in Naubinway. (The Cove is actually open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We never got to try it because they were closed for cleaning the grill during business hours.) The hotel custodial staff were very nice and friendly.

No breakfast of any kind as office and exercise area/ hot tub were locked. Lack of a safety latch on the door was a concern,even though this is a safe area. Highly overpriced for what we got. Cable was good. Office was closed in the morning(11 am )when we left.

Description says laundry facilities, It Does Not! One of the main reasons we booked this hotel. We had to travel 22 miles to the town of Curtis, to find a laundromat. Never saw the front desk open. Upon arrival there was a note on the office door saying room assignment sent to your email. We received no such email, We found a worker doing laundry who told us our room number and that the room was unlocked and key was inside. We had to go get clean towels, shampoo, soap, toilet paper from person working in laundry room. No ice machine. No gym as stated in description.

Lock on window was broken, the place smelled, no electrical outlets in bedrooms, felt very old and dirty. Hotel mgr said they would refund 1/2 of the amount we prepaid... never saw the refund! This is the first negative review I've ever given regarding travel and I've traveled extensively for work and recreation. I strongly advise DO NOT BOOK OR STAY AT THIS OLD PLACE.

This was a place to lay my head for a night to break up a long drive. It was a little rustic but clean. The space was small but maximized well. The absence of on site staff was a little disconcerting but they communicated check-in instructions clearly. I didn’t like how close to the highway it was, you could hear the semis flying by so loudly it felt like they were about crash through the room. It wasn’t anywhere I’d stay for multiple nights but as a way station in the UP it worked out.

Reasonable rates. Being somewhat picky but the flimsy, thin sheets seemed to stick to us, and unfortunately caused sleep interruptions. The outlets were too far away from the bedstand to plug in the CPAP. The bedside light was too short/small to be much good for reading. Otherwise - the bathroom was nice, towels were great, and generally an ok experience. It was our first time booking via Expedia and that was confusing and stressful. When we arrived at the property about 1-2 hours after booking, the office was closed and a sign said that we got a text with our room number and instructions. It wasn't until an hour later did we get the text.

We stayed here for one night on a road trip that took us through the upper peninsula of Michigan, which we really like. I wanted a place to stay that was between St. Ignace and Manistique, and this fit the bill. This property got excellent ratings and reviews, but I am not sure why. In my opinion the room was way overpriced for something that was only basic and not that comfortable. The beds were fine, but the other furnishings were pretty awful, no table, the desk was unusable and there was not even a chair to sit on, only an extremely uncomfortable sofa. There was no place in the room to put anything except one luggage rack, thank goodness at least for that. The bathroom also had no place to put anything, I balanced things on the tub, even the back of the toilet was not accessible, and no hair dryer. This is definitely a budget property but at a medium range price. We will not stay here again.

This is a roadside motel! Take that for what it is- we got a cozy, charming room with a comfortable bed that was clean, with hot water and a window AC unit. We did not get a room with a working tv, a hair dryer, fancy toiletries, or high water pressure. This is a cabin-themed hotel, not a standalone unit.

I love Adoba. They leave the key in the room. Then just text or email you which room is yours- no check in, just park and walk into your room. They do daily room cleaning if you want. Staff is very friendly, but you dont have to interact much if you dont want. The beds are crazy comfortable. I will say some of their rooms are just a bed, tv, maybe a chair, and a bathroom. Only some rooms have the smallest minifridge. I think theres a coffe maker in some(or all, im not sure) You will hear your neighbors, and the two years we stayed it was predominantly construction guys who commute up there and stay while working on the roads, so they all show up at like 5 or 6pm, hooting and holler outside(which is fine because theyre fixing the roads that got you there) and then they wake up at the crack of dawn, but they get out fast so no biggie. We love it here. It will be our 3rd year staying here in july 2025. Moofin fries has some of the best burgers and fish, its right next door. Beary Patch is 15min down the road and has amazing breakfast. Location is a 10/10 if youre exploring the UP.

There was no one on duty when we arrived. Everything is done via text messages. I texted them with some questions several times, tried calling them (full mailbox) and finally was answered at 9:00pm. We requested a room change, and they did respond at 9:00 pm via phone call. The newer rooms are nice. If the customer service improves it will be a good place to stay. I don't know what was happening, as they didn't say. Nice dinner restaurant nearby. They don't have a breakfast option in the motel. No breakfast restaurants nearby in Naubinway, but there's one 10 miles away. There's a convenience gas station in Naubinway with food for purchase. All in all it's OK.

We could walk to Moofinfries or Village Pizza for dinner. We even walked to the Marina (the northernmost part of Lake Michigan). I loved the beds - often, hotel beds are too hard or too soft - these were great. Overall, a good choice in the UP - we will continue to stay here when visiting.
