Bell's Melody Motel

it was right at the water. nice beach. staff was so nice and accomodating. put us in a different room that didnt smell like mold.

Zach did a great job! Pools and hit tub not up to Par!! Needs lots of updating and cleaning.

Was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what we were getting to at first. They provided a free upgrade and the room we were provided with was recently remodeled and so was very clean. It was on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the Lake (Huron) and the beach where some people were enjoying themselves. Didn't get a change to check out the indoor/outdoor pool.

Enjoyed the low key. Loved my room with a slider overlooking the lake and fire pit. Will stay again

Great location and great price beds were comfortable staff was really amazing polite and courteous and knowledgeable of the area and recommending things to see and do. My only complaint is hot tub didn't work and pool was very cold but the lake views and beach was well worth it. I will definitely return and highly recommend

Upon checking in had to go to a different hotel,next door, as 1hotel operates 4 properties, very friendly staff however they could not find keys for the first room they assigned us, nor for the second room so changed the hotel instead. The room was fairly clean, the TV didn't work, no internet. The room was designed very nice with being able to out a patio door and sit at a beach front, only reason I will come back.

We ejoyed sitting on the porch outside the sliding glass door. Watching the water, the nridge and the boats transporting passengers to Mackinac Island. Three steps from the porch was a firepit and three steps from thay was the sandy beach. Very relaxing.

Was ok for the 2 nighs. They had only been open 2 weeks so pool was not open , but we had access to one down the road so that was ok. People at the front desk were extremely helpful and frendly. We were moved to a larger room our 2nd night because we had issues with our tub draining when taking a shower. The rooms were ok but need a face lift for sure, a fresh coat of paint in spots maybe walls washed would make a large difference it wasn't necessarily nasty just needed sprucing up.

Property has a small beach, fire pit and seats to see the bridge all day and the ferries leaving port for the island. The room was decent sized with older beds and quiet.

Older property renovations in progress. Gentleman at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. Put us in a nicer part of the hotel that was already renovated. Pool could use a little bit of TLC. Didn't try it ,was quite dirty but did see them clean it the next day but didn't get a chance to enjoy it. Great place to stay right on the water. Worth the 69 bucks night

Disgusting. Didn’t stay. Looked at two different rooms. Hotel wouldn’t refund. Disappointed that this hotel was even listed on Expedia. Expedia gave a $25.00 toward next booking, which is appreciated. Unfortunate experience.

Do not stay at this property or the properties owned by the same company. Our room had black mold and the bathroom floor is ready to fall in. Disgusting rooms and don’t anticipate a refund if you choose to leave early. We would have liked a refund for the issues but there is no sympathy from the owners or staff. Terrible property, I hope they are no longer advertised on Expedia.

Our room was disgusting. We paid over 120$ a night and we had no sheets on our bed. The bathroom was small and inadequate. Rusted out everywhere. Dirty dishes under our beds. Filthy walls. Spiders and bugs coming in through a hole behind the air conditioning. Sand on our beds from other travelers. Stained carpets. Save your money and go somewhere else if you can. It was a rip off and completely unsafe.

Stay away from this place!!! It is disgusting! One giant mold in the ugly dirty bathroom! The whole place stinks!!!

For it being located right on the beach, it was great. The only down side was the bathroom had black mold all on and around the ceiling.

DO NOT stay here. We booked through Expedia and I got a call from the motel the day we were supposed to arrive saying they didn’t see the reservation and they were completely booked for two queen beds. They said they could put us in a room with one queen and a full adult sofa. We reluctantly agreed to that. We arrived in the middle of the night and had to check in a couple hotels down to get our keys. When we got to our room, it was not in the motel, but rather a little shack next to the hotel. There was no bedding for the fold out and no one we could reach to get bedding. Additionally, they only gave us two towels for four people. We had to use some blankets from the queen bed so people could at least sleep on the fold out. We didn’t have four pillows either. The room was very dirty and we had to kill numerous spiders crawling on the wall. The bathroom had mold in the corners. Honestly, the only reason we didn’t leave then was because it was the middle of the night and we just needed to sleep. I would never recommend this place to anyone. We got out of there as fast as we could in the morning.

Bed bugs!! Stains on bedding and mattress! Window screen full of bugs and mold. Head board was missing from wall. Toilet was nasty and looked like it was never cleaned. The furniture had white stains on it. The first room that was given was never cleaned after the last occupants. The dirty bedding was still left on the bed unmade and trash still in the room. The manager Tracy refused to refund my money and refused to listen to my concerns and hung up on me twice!! I slept in my car the first night and booked a different place to stay. Absolutely horrible! They should be shut down!

Approx. a 10 x 10 room, hadn't been painted in many years. Dirty walls, with 2 beds squeezed into a tiny space. Walked in and walked out. For $185 per night, they are insane, while the billboard says $69 with vacancy. I've never seen such a flea bag motel in my life. They offered us an upgrade for another $50! No thanks! Couldn't leave fast enough!

I reported this property to the department of health. Unsanitary motel conditions. No fitted sheets. Sewage water in the shower in room 20. Garbage under the bed in room 26. Multiple spiders and stained walls in room 19. Concerned about the unsanitary conditions and other people staying here. The motel refused to give my elderly parents money back for the sewage water shower room.

Very dated and unclean room with mold on the bathroom walls.

Attempts at room upgrades poorly done. Beds had older, well used mattresses. Ice ands soda machines outside the room not working. Booked 2 nights, stayed one.

No hot water, supposed to be a double bed, got in late so we made it work, had a pull out bed in couch no blankets or pillows, TV would not pull up any channels, no WiFi.

Run down and in very poor repair. Very old. No working Wi-Fi. No hot water, even after asking for it to be fixed. This is not a place anyone would enjoy, especially for the $147 for one night that I paid.

One side of the bed was tippy and wably. Have to in provide AC plug. Ok, for low budget motel

We ejoyed sitting on the porch outside the sliding glass door. Watching the water, the nridge and the boats transporting passengers to Mackinac Island. Three steps from the porch was a firepit and three steps from thay was the sandy beach. Very relaxing.

First thing...there is one reception desk for 3 properties. 2 seperate people in front on me in line were assigned rooms at adjoining properties they didn't reserve with basically an "oh well response". The ac unit in room smelled moldy and never got cold. The tv did not work. The shower was dirty and previous guests used toiletries were left in the shower, including used bar soap. There is nothing within walking distance. Also the parking is tight and multiple vehicles missed having an accident by mere inches. Really run down. The tiny beach area was pleasant and good view of nightime fireworks. Would not stay here again.

Ahole kid i described bad for motel!!!!!

Hotel is a little older, but very comfortable. In fact both my husband and I had our best nights sleep here. The next morning we did have a serious problem, which is when the young lady in the office, I believe her name is Kenisha( sorry if I have spelled that wrong. But this young lady, who had just met me, offered so much comfort and support I cannot say enough about her. We will come back to this location, just to enjoy the caring feeling of this place and it’s staff. If I could give them more than a ten, I certainly would. Thank you so much!!

Booked a weekend with my girlfriend at Bell's Melody Motel 7/7-7/9/23 and when we arrived we had to go to the motel next door to actually check in, and once we were able to find the office to check in, we were then told they moved our room to a 3rd Motel called the Northwinds, without asking prior if this was ok. We shrugged off that issue as no biggie, and then when we got to our room we were rather upset with the lack of any type of comfort or decor. The tv did not work at all, there were no outlets near the bed, and multiple devices (lamps, alarm clock, etc.) that were not plugged in due to nowhere to plug them into. The room was excessively small and smelled rather musty, luckily we brought febreeze from home! The bathroom looked very dated, was super small with only a tiny stand up shower and a toilet, the caulking around the shower was coming apart and looked kind of moldy. The room was just overall uncomfortable and should have been more maintained and would have been nice to at least have a working tv... Its not like we expected much from an old town motel such as this, but it does not seem like they care about customer experience at all. We did not get a chance to make any complaints to the front desk, as when we would walk into the office to talk to someone, no one could be found and we didn't like having to wait. We even waited around for about a half hour when checking out to leave our remarks and no one came out to speak with us, as if no one was there.

The owner and staff were wonderful, they helped with needs. Had a beautiful view from our cabin and we would book another reservation at Bell's Melody Motel.

I would NOT even give this place 1 Star, if a lesser rating was an option. At checkin, we were given a small cabin, and when we went in, the bedspread had obvious stains, the paint or whatever wall covering was peeling around the air-conditioner, the furniture was extremely old and showing much wear, the light in the bathroom constantly flickered trying to barely light. The bathroom floor linoleum had curled up along the wall, and the floor was covered in moldy stain spots, the shower had been poorly repaired leaving it Fraken-scared. Moreso, the heat did NOT work! The desk attendant said he would call maintenance, we left to meet friends, and returned to find the cabin just as cold, without heat. We returned to the desk, again, requesting another room, and were told no other rooms were available, despite being the rental office for 4 motels! and Vacancy sign lit. We demand the clerk contact the ma ager, he said he texted the manager, but nothing could be done that night. The clerk was not willing to do anything, even without heat!

They were very helpful accommodating our dog - initially we were in a room above some spiral stairs, and they moved us to a ground level room
