Clean room, comfortable bed, friendly staff. A great deal for the price.
Patrick
Great staff and great clean room
Dawn
Thermostat was set at 60 degrees. It took several hours to get the room warm after we turned it up to 70. Good place to stay.
Mike
Convenient location, clean, easy parking, functional
Wilton
Always a nice place to stay
Shannon
It was an average older motel. Clean, no bugs. The only issue was that the sink in the bathroom did not drain well.
linda
very nice place to stay friendly helpfull
Patrick
The room was ok, there was a bit of an overpowering carpet cleaning smell, but bed was adequate. No amenities, there may have been coffee in the office but we left a 6:00 am and the office was closed.
Marcia
This property is in a good location with easy access to the downtown area. The outside was somewhat run down with a few benches outside rooms with coffee cans on the ground, I assume for ashes from smokers. The inside had a board missing along a low ledge near the floor where a repair must have been made. Otherwise the room was clean, we did not have a problem with that. However, I don’t know if it was a cleaning agent or room deodorizer, but the room had such a strong odor that I was afraid I would have a headache by morning, and so we didn’t actually end up staying in this room.
Kimberly
Clean Room
The room was very clean, but the sheets and comforter were not dry. We pulled back the covers to let the bedding dry while we were out and about.
Abram
Excellent place for the price.
Diane
We really enjoyed our stay
Paula
Great price good clean room 👍
Della
This is an old, bare bones motel. I only stayed there because I was spending the day with a group that was camping along the nearby Rifle River and there was nowhere else close by. It was mostly clean...the end of the shower curtain is obscured by the open bathroom door and it had a very dirty handprint on it. When I left I pulled the curtain to the other end in the hopes housekeeping would notice. The inside of the microwave door was very rusty. The towels and sheets were clean. The refrigerator was clean and actually had a separate freezer compartment.
It was fairly quiet except for the late night and early morning train coming through. I heard zero noise from other rooms both nights. The in the wall A/C unit worked well to cool the room.

Janine
Had everything we needed for a one night stay. Room was very clean. Staff was helpful. If anything the A/C was loud. But it was welcome as the temp was in the 90’s.
Donna
It was an older motel, but was comfortable.
Victor
Weekend fishing trip.
There was plenty of parking for our fishing boats. We were able to charge our batteries in the boats with the outside outlets.
Autumn
Can up for a family reunion. The motel was exceptional. The cleanliness of the room was stupendous. Great little place to go explore the area definitely give a ten out of ten especially for the price
Terri
Ok place to stay
It was a clean place to stay, old motel, bring your own shampoo, they give you one packet. I thought the bed was hard and the air conditioner was very loud, so we opened the window.
Michael
This was our second stay at the Standish Motel and it was the same as last year. It is an older building but has been maintained well and very clean. It is convenient to the downtown area that has some good dining options.
Justin
The owner was very gracious and accommodating for our group in town for a gravel race. The atmosphere was excellent and while the location felt like a trip back in time it was clean and everything functioned as advertised. We will 100% be staying here again.
Christine
Excellent little motel
Our stay at Standish motel was excellent. Quiet, clean, and comfortable. Close to restaurants and the casino was only a few miles away.
Shannon
We have stayed at motels numerous times and this was definitely not our favorite. The room was stifling hot. No air was turned on prior to our arrival and it was positioned behind the bathroom door so if the door was opened which it was you would not find it. The toilet was never cleaned but they did come and clean it. The room was not vacuumed. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable but we will not be back.
Scott
Ok for traveling
Ruben
👍
Patrick
Loved it
Joseph
This place is a throwback to a 1950s motel. Two queen beds make a crowded room. Not one hook or hanger(s) to hang clothing. One wood chair.
Tiny bathroom--shower is a stall, not a tub size.
Room was dusty. Old style mercury thermostat for heat (it did work). Tiny A/C unit mounted on back wall not sealed well.
Can't believe Expedia would include this choice. Aarghh!

Cute hotel
Mostly clean room, the fridge was slightly dirty & the window track crevices were in black mold/dirt. Beds were decent just woke up stiff. Other than those things, the host was great & patient. Made check-in for us easy.
Teresa
Excellent stay. This will be our new place to stay on our anniversary. Very clean and we didn’t hear the people next to us.

Nice mom and pop style hotel
Great little mom and pop type hotel. Very clean. Friendly staff. Parking right outside your door. Nice place for a no-frills stay. Just a bit outdated.

Inexpensive stop for a night or two, convenient, nothing great but fine, nice staff.
Ann
Great in a pinch
Very clean, bed was comfy tight quarters
Patrick
It's clean and a nice place
Diane
I stayed here last fall, and also this fall. Looks like the rooms have been renovated. It's not the Taj Mahal, but it's definitely a great deal! I would highly recommend.
Robin
The room was nice. Walls are thin, could hear the next room.
Bruce
My only \"wish\" for the room is that is had counter space in the bathroom
Aaron
It is the quit essential northern Michigan roadside motel. But it was exactly what I needed a place to rest from the days activity.
Ken
Best pillows of any hotel or motel.
Lynn
Picnic table broken
Gail
Was very nice. Staff was great.
David
We stayed for the weekend and the staff was very nice. Great location next to a wonderful ice cream food take out place.
Sandi
This little motel was so enjoyable and relaxing. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would love to book a stay here again.
Laura
Beautiful updated room
Room was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wish they would put coffee makers in the rooms.
teresa
It's an older motel but it's very clean and affordable
Kevin

Jamie
Great little place
This motel if definitely dated but what motel isn’t? The service was great and the room clean and comfortable. You could tell they take pride in their property because when we checked in they were mowing, leaf blowing, cleaning up spider webs. Plus, there is a great cash only food and ice cream place next door.
Christopher
It is a older motel and I did not expect too much, it was much cleaner than some of the national chains that I have stayed at though.
We were in Standish for a funeral and only needed a place to stay for one night and this motel had 3 rooms available when others in the area were booked up. This was on July 4th and the funeral was on July 5th. It was an okay motel but not really worth $123.00.
I elected to pay at arrival during the booking process but received a phone call @9:00 AM
the next day asking for my card number, so the pay when you arrive option is not really enforced.
They were friendly though and bring your coffee maker.

The location worked well for me and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
BEVERLY
Would stay again
Owner was helpful & nice
Peggy
The room did not have a coffee maker in it. And the coffee maker in the office they did not use. I guess it was there for looks.
Michael
The room was very clean and well maintained. It was also quiet despite the busy road out front.
Glenna
Pleasantly surprised. We were expecting a threadbare mom and pop place, and we were pleased to find a clean, modern room. Would definitely stay here again.
Patrick
Clean rooms and good nights rest is the best here
Britney
The motel itself was wonderful. The staff on the other hand, were rude and unwelcoming. We were there for our wedding, they didn't even say a word to us about it. We got a tiny discount for renting 5 rooms at once. They tried to charge us for an extra room. I lost something there and they claim it's not there. All in all I won't be staying there again.
Jennifer
Not crowded
Jill
Great hotel for the price. I just wish they had coffee makers in the room. Outside of that, great place. Clean quiet and in a great area for fun.
Lyman
Good room
Nice, affordable room with a comfortable king-bed and a clean bathroom
Jennifer
The proprietors are a friendly couple.

I have stayed here on some weekends for the last 2 years. The couple that run the motel
Melissa
Second time I’ve stayed here in the last year. Staff is exceptionally nice and accommodating. I will definitely continue to stay here on my trips to the area. Very affordable as well.
Teresa
It was fabulous. Very clean and the lady who checked us in was so nice. This motel will always be my to stay place. All the shop were right in town. I have nothing bad to say about this place..My stars are all 5..
Jennifer
My only complaint was no where to hang clothes. But they have just refreshed their rooms so I may have been booked early.
John
This motel is way overpriced for a old building will be checking out other options next time
Kim
Very old amd outdated.
Donna
Great price
Larry
Room needs updating and paint, the room Smells a lot like stale cigarette smoke. The area looks nice and clean. And The parking lot is well lit.
Jennifer
Thank you
charles
clean and comfortable bed.
Jennifer
Quiet motel with nice management. Walking distance to a convenience store
Steve
For the price, this place is surprisingly well kept. Our room was very clean and had a fresh smell. It's obvious the owners care about keeping the place looking clean. The bathroom was clean and stocked with hygiene products. The bedding was clean and everything in our room was working.
We stayed in November so the room air-conditioning was disabled and the heat source are radiant wall heat which leaves no way to circulate air. The room was warm, but if you want circulating air, bring a fan. Plus the radiant heat caused a banging as the metal heated and cooled which woke me a few times. Also, the beds are extra firm. My son liked that. But i prefer a softer matress but if you like a super firm matress you’ll be happy.
The lack of aìr movement and super firm mattresses were the only thing preventing me from giving an overall 5 stars.

A nice older property that is well maintained. It was quiet, lots of restaurants close by.

Renee
Was only there to sleep overnight . Nothing that I did not like.

Jennifer
Family-owned, comfortable motel.
Renda
Good location, easy to find. Lady in office during check-in and check-out was very pleasant. Room was clean, but had a sewer smell that was drawn into the room when bathroom fan would run. Smell seemed to come from behind a locked door that could possibly open to a closet behind the shower....? We sprayed febreeze to counteract the bad smell.
Jerry
Good value for a nice hotel.
Very nice hotel. We liked the exterior doors. Check in was fast and friendly. We will definitely stay there again.
