What guests think
At The Sunset Motel, travelers praise the stunning lakefront setting and easy access to Pictured Rocks, while noting dated rooms and variable upkeep; amenities and maintenance do not always match the price point.
Many appreciate the lawn seating and some units with kitchenettes or private balconies, but room sizes and layouts vary and small bathrooms, limited outlets, and occasional AC or hot water issues are reported. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean rooms to musty odors, damp carpets, and mold or mildew in bathrooms. Staff are often friendly and helpful with local tips, while housekeeping during multi-night stays and the included breakfast are quite limited. Expect a simple, retro waterfront stay where the view outshines the finishes.
