What guests think

Reviews of The Triangle Motel describe a very clean, no-frills roadside stay with small, older rooms, smooth contactless check-in, and friendly owners, while some guests note traffic noise, occasional musty or well-water smells, and mixed bed comfort.

The location is convenient to US-127, Alma College, and nearby services like a gas station and restaurants. Several describe the property as older yet well maintained, suited to simple overnights rather than extended stays. Expect a basic, independently run motel focused on easy access and practicality.

Really nice little roadside motel. Small, no-frills very clean place. I was a little chilly & the owner lent us a space heater. Very friendly, kind & helpful woman in the office. A tad pricey, but I’ll definitely go back.

The tTriangle Motel was probably built in in early 1960s. However it seems to be well maintained, and we had a comfortable stay. It is also conveniently located just off from US 127.

Property is a very well kept, maintained and updated motor inn. Rooms are small-ish but function very well. Never saw the staff, but didn't need to. Everything was texted or set out for me. It has it's own very pleasant park as part of the triangle. Would be a lovely place to stay and gather for small group trips. Only slight negative would be occasional traffic noise from the adjacent rural highway.

It’s small and quiet, park right next to your room, lovely garden area with chairs. Not much traffic, gas station across the street has coffee. Really liked not having a room key to worry about losing, door code on my phone. Staff very friendly and helpful.

It was Very Clean! Good for an overnight, which was all we needed. Property's outdated, but very well maintained. You can hear neighboring rooms, TV helped with that. You can hear outside noise and traffic, again TV helped with that. Entry was super easy and doors lock upon closing the door, there's also a bolt and chain for use. Water is well water, just be prepared. Shower, bathroom and room cleanliness was super impressive, better cleanliness than most hotels. Would stay again if in the area for a quick overnight stay. Close to town and Alma College.

We stay here twice a year, very clean. Only noise is traffic with a large gas station across the street. This is an old motel with cement base floors that are not level. We are older and are beginning to have balance problems. We have walking and balance problems with the floors not level. We stay because of it being clean and the location.

The room was clean. Had an issue entering the room to which a friendly and helpful lady came out promptly to help. No thermostat in the room, but the nice lady promptly brought a heater which made the room temp comfortable. There was an walk in shower. It's been awhile since the room was updated. Walls were pretty thin, woke up due to the sound of traffic outside. Was expecting a nicer room considering what I charged and after reading the reviews I had seen on here.

Check in was very convenient since it was contactless. Received the door code via text message and letting me know it was ready, which was ahead of check in time. Definitely an older motel, but convenient to highway and where we were going. Bed not exactly comfy but are they ever compared to home?

Super comfy beds. Nice pillows. Very clean and really liked our bath towels. A quick trip to St. Louis MI found us needing a room for the night and The Triangle Motel fit the bill. Our hostess found us a restaurant that would accommodate our late arrival where we had great food and drinks. Thank you JJ Ruby’s. Upon our rush to head home, I left my big ole body pillow behind in the room. Michelle shipped it back to me at home and I couldn’t be more thankful!!! So kind.
