Quaint, clean and conveniently located. We stayed in room 4, it was small-queen bed( very comfy)one night stand, full bathroom(tight but clean). They have a fire pit on the property and we had a fire every night- we purchased firewood at the local store but I think the property sells it too. Continental breakfast was complimentary and sufficient- served from 8-10. Every day we came back and our room was tidied. Really loved this quaint motel. Will be back!

The motel has an old school family travelers road motel feel, but is brand new and private and safe. The room felt newly renovated with a nostalgic feel. The check-in with Crystal was fast and easy. There are ample pieces of information for finding what you need while at the motel and regarding the surrounding area. The walk to the Saugutuk waterfront is an easy 15 minute walk. If you’re not a walker, there is a shuttle for $1 cash only to “downtown” Saugutuk. The hotel provides a beautiful outdoor seating area and a fire pit in the “backyard” if you want to cozy around a fire. There are also cafe settings outside the room to sit and watch the trees. We were there on a couples getaway and found it perfect for that. I can’t speak to how a family with young children would like it. We loved it. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Captain’s Quarters.

We loved how close it is to downtown. Yet private. We had a bonfire early evening. Wonderful area in the back of the property. Met friendly people who were also staying. Probably the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. Coffee in the morning was hot & brewed perfectly. Would stay again definitely.

This was a great motel. I wanted somewhere that was within walking distance of Saugatuck but would be easy to park at and not be crowded. This motel worked perfectly. You can walk right into town in approximately 15 minutes. Staff was very friendly. They were even able to check us in early. The largest 'mini-fridge' I've ever had in a room. Be aware that there isn't a microwave in your room but is in a common room along with the ice. Not a problem for me, but something to be aware of. I would definitely come here again.

My only issue was the bed was super uncomfortable but I have back pain already so maybe if you’re a trooper it won’t be so bad. My wife was fine but she doesn’t have chronic back pain. Wifi works well and room cleaning is good. There is a microwave for free use in a room not far from the rest of them. No hygiene issues or broken stuff. Would definitely come back if not for my fussy back.

Clean, comfortable, friendly staff, and a great location. My only complaint is that they don’t offer coffee in the rooms. You can request a coffee maker be brought to your room but you have to bring your own coffee. They do provide a continental breakfast but I had to leave before it began so I had to stop elsewhere for coffee. Not a big deal but unusual for rooms not to have coffee in my experience.

We really liked how close the motel was to the main drag in Saugatuck. It was about a 2 minute drive and you could have walked into town easily as well. The bed was okay but bring your pillows. The pillows flattened as soon as you put your head on them (like they were filled with air and then deflated). I like fluffy pillows and typically use a few of them at home. If we return, we will definitely bring pillows. Will also bring our hot plate next time too so we can cook breakfast or go into town for breakfast. The area around the motel is really scenic and great for a short weekend trip to the beach and water front.

The room was clean and updated. The area was quiet at night due to ongoing road construction. Having a coffee maker in the room would have been nice rather than having to wait until after 7 am to get coffee in the office. The dehumidifier and A/C in the room were noisy. The on-site owners were not especially friendly.
