We stayed one night, the room was clean and had lots of space. Check in was super easy. Nice quiet spot. Would come back again and would recommend for anyone staying in the area. :)
Colleen
Nice place to stay very friendly Owners
Anne
This family run inn was so clean and comfortable. The rooms are really big, with small frig, microwave and small coffee maker. However they offer complimentary coffee in the office in the mornings. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Will stay here again!
Johnson
Very friendly helpful staff.
Gertrude
There was a bat in our room, called the front desk for support did not get an answer and slept with it in there.
Pet friendly is a plus, not sure we will be back given not visiting this area often and not blown away.

Staff and stay was absolutely amazing! Very clean, coffee and ice available for free and any request were fulfilled with smiles on their faces. I’ll absolutely be back!
Katelynn
Very cute place. Clean rooms too!
Alec
This place was such a gem! Great place to stay.
Andrew
We had a wonderful 2-night stay! The staff was friendly, helpful, and had great advice on what to experience in the area. We’ll definitely stay again the next time we’re nearby!
Dennis
Nice clean quiet place. Could use some work on steps by adding a railing and cleaning the a/c filter that kept blinking.
Karen
We had an issue with a bad smell in our room likely caused by an old air conditioner. Owner was alerted and she moved us to another room which was fine. Rooms are very clean but basic. No frills but very reasonable price. Owner very friendly and helpful.
Madhusudan
Good. Clean room. Spacious
Kevin
It was a great stay, but I would recommend putting some anti slip on the bathtub floor and a grab handle in the shower. Other than that it was great!
Melinda
Bring hair dryer with you.
Jennifer
The room was spacious and clean and we had everything we needed. Staff was friendly and efficient
Kyle
Great staff!
Nayab
We had a 2 days stay, room was spacious, there was a microwave, a refregertors, and 2 queen size bed. Linen was clean and bedsheets were super clean. Our stay was good.
Norman
They’re were accommodating with early check-in. The room was clean.
MacKenzie
Super friendly staff!!
Anita
Cute, family owned motel with friendly welcoming host. Spacious and conveniently located.
Mani Sankar
The best hotel!! I didn’t realize that I was running late to arrive. I literally called them ten minutes before there lobby closes. They gave me clear instructions for checkin and it was a smooth and great experience. The staff are very friendly. The cappuccino in their lobby is the best!!!!! Highly recommend this place.
Rosemary
Very clean. Check in was very pleasant. Friendly staff. The room was very comfortable. Office serves coffee during the day. And if you're lucky you can get a cookie and maybe even see the pooches. A good value. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
John
Descent clean room for the price.
Jack
Reasonable price. Nice room.
Theresa
Perfect for families! The puttputt and playground were large and fun and there were comfortable picnic tables for eating outside, enjoying the weather and the stunning view. The rooms were VERY large! We had a double queen and while you could tell the hotel is undergoing renovations, it was nice, quiet and comfortable. The updates that were going on lead me to believe that as nice as it is right now, next year will be even better.
Ryan
Beautiful property and a quiet stay. Easy check in. We will be back to visit!
Chase
Classic rustic midwest feel, very fitting for area
Savannah
This Inn was perfect for our stay. The people (and dogs) were immensely welcoming and the place had a wonderful atmosphere. It was clean, cozy, and community oriented. If/when I find myself back in the area, I will be happy to book another stay here
Kimberly
Great unassuming gem. Little place with great impression. Would recommend to anyone. Close to everything. Great discount to local breakfast place, SO GOOD. Great value. Nice people, BIG rooms. SO CLEAN.
Michael
Staff was very kind. Room was clean. Plenty of parking.
WENCHIH
~ It met our criteria: 1. safe!, 2. clean !! 3. quiet :-) ________ beyond that any breakfast items would have been great (coffee is available 8am - 10pm tho) but its a smaller venue so not a big deal since its last on our list...by far. __ the heating is boiler style, a/c is wall unit - heat did take a few minutes to even out since its not the noisy window electric blower style but baseboard hot water. All good. ___ Staff were the best people we've seen in our decades of marital travels.
Donna
The staff was kind and the property was peaceanf so beautiful!
Randy
Clean Rooms, Comfortable Beds. Those are my priority. This motel delivered.
This is a travel-lodge style motel that is well maintained and scrupulously clean. It’s a no-frills property (but you came up here for the lakes and forest, anyway, right) with friendly staff and comfortable beds. It’s a good location. It’s a very good value.
We knew were getting in late. We called ahead and got an entry code for our room. They left the light on.
We got advice about the area and a coupon for breakfast at a very nice local restaurant.

Linda

Jonathan
Bed bugs. So gross.
Joshua
Great stay. Friendly staff, excellent location for exploring the area
Takisha
Check in was simple and fast. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable about festivities going on in the area. The property was so nice looking! It’s tucked away in a quiet area of the main road. They have free put-put golf on site and a small playground for kids. (I didn’t pay much attention because we didn’t take our kids, but I think there were swings)
I’m not sure why, but we were “upgraded” upon arrival. The room was very spacious! The bed was comfortable, the water was hot, the AC was cold. It was awesome!
Only one thing would have made it more comfortable, and that would be either more pillows or thicker pillows. They were pretty flat.
My husband and I will definitely stay there again!

Lovely people, lovely stay.
The service was excellent. They were friendly and helpful, and even though I did not find the firm mattress comfortable, they went above and beyond to make it better for me. The maps and pamphlets and recommendations of things to do in the area were much appreciated.
Kyle
Didn’t have a hairdryer in the room and was told they only put them in premium rooms. Not an issue as they did give us one. Last time we stayed in a regular room and we did have a hairdryer. Nice little motel will stay again.
ALLISON
Stay at this hotel!
Everything was amazing at this hotel. Friendly staff, super clean room, quiet, nice selection of teas, good parking, cute dogs, very welcoming and safe. Highly recommend. Took 5 people with me and stayed in the 4 queen bed lodge and everything was perfect. I have traveled all around Michigan and the world and stayed at castles, the Waldorf, the Ritz and other luxury hotels and this was a wonderful hotel to me and i have incredibly high standards! Thanks for a wonderful stay and so many happy memories!
Michael
Very friendly and helpful staff.
David Paul

I wish i would have known there wasn't a hair dryer

Nice little motel in good location for golf/gamble
Decent little motel. Clean. Well located if you’re if you’re golfing at Arcadia and going to the Little River Casino. Comfortable beds. Good pricing.

Stay at Inn at the Alpine
There were food options provided during our stay. Bed was ok, was squeaky. Would have been nice to have more than 2 pillows per bed like most stays have 4 per bed.
Erica
Kevin and Tonya have created a very special motel. Kevin is on the local tourism board and knowledgeable about the area. Both are nice and welcoming. The rooms are clean and don't break the bank. Convenient location. They offer locally-roasted coffee in the morning or a nice selection of tea and have a nice partnership with a local restaurant nearby for breakfast (large portions and delicious). I stayed here on a work trip, but would come back with family. This place reminded me of why family run motels were so popular for a time.. and would be again if they were all run like this. I definitely encourage you to support this great locally-owned business.
Caitlin
The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the best part is they have ice available!
Verified traveler
Very nice little motel! The owners obviously care about it. Location is wonderful too.
Michael
The host was very nice upon arrival. We talked about things in the area as some of my family grew up nearby.
Amy
Would definitely stay here again
Booked for one night after a day of golf and it was perfect. Extremely clean. May seem weird to mention but the water pressure was great and the bathroom/shower area was very clean. Staff was super friendly at check in and the dogs were sweet!! Would definitely stay here again!
Jennifer
Nice place to stay
Went up for a wedding and got a good price at the Alpine Inn. Owners are renovating and were very friendly and helpful. Very clean and conveniently located.
Rona
Nice clean room....beds need updating
karen
We plan on returning.
Sheridan
Check in was easy and the staff was very personable. Informed about coffee and ice being in the front office. Would definitely stay here again.
Pritish
Great property close to a scenic lake.
Kathleen
Obvious that the management has put effort into making the area pleasant and welcoming. The managers were very friendly and welcoming.
With that said, some basic maintenance issues should be addressed. Specifically that room doors seemed all to be in need of new locks and adjusting so they open & close properly. I did not feel comfortable with adequacy of the locks or ability to get out quickly in an emergency. Additionally the room was clean and appeared well maintained but had a definite musty smell that was noticeable.

Frank
This was our first stay at Inn at the Alpine. We have traveled extensively and this is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The cleanliness of the room certainly exceeded our expectations. The gentleman at the reception desk was very friendly and the check in process was easy. We would highly recommend this facility when visiting the area.
MaryEllen
Beautiful grounds! Very clean room with nice comfortable beds. I will definitely stay again next time I’m in the area!
Marjorie
Loved this place. Easy to get to...the owners are great. Would definitely stay here again.
shann
The staff was friendly and helpful. Nice places for eating and drinking close by. Very clean!!
Kevin
This is an older facility that the owners are working hard to update. It was very comfortable and Tanya and Kevin were great to work with.
Megan
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and had a great time. We wanted to try somewhere new and Inn at the Alpine didn't disappoint. It's located between Manistee and Frankfort with plenty to go do and see. The room was very clean and spacious. There is a little mini gold course on-site and space to sit in the lawn. We checked out the Arcadia Dunes; Baldy Trails per the recommendation of the owner and will definitely be returning to hike for that view again. We received a 20% off coupon for Lakeside Cafe in Bear Lake for breakfast. The food was excellent and would recommend. We will definitely be staying at the Inn at the Alpine again!
Timothy
It was central to every thing I had going on.

Sandra

Joshua
Real nice folks.
Michael
We LOVE the Alpine. It's in a quiet location and the staff are wonderful! The rooms are always spotlessly clean.
The Alpine is no-frills, but that makes it nice. Just a quaint, quiet place to relax in a spacious, clean room. The staff are friendly and courteous and We've stayed there twice now, and both stays were excellent. Much better than in one of the \"brand name\" hotels.

Karen
The people who run it are very nice but the bed is horribly hard, the soap has rough particles and is not nice to use
Lynn
Quiet and clean.
Anthony
The room was more spacious then a regular hotel room. Owners were very frindly. Very comfortable and clean.
Robyn
Property is super clean. Staff is very friendly beds are comfortable more to say.
Rich
We used this place as a base for our visiting many different places around the area each day. Very close to Onekama and Arcadia where we did a lot of hiking. The breakfast discount at Lakeside Cafe in Bear Lake was used every morning.
We were in room 112 and unfortunately the dead bolt did not line up properly with the door; therefore we were not able to secure our door with that extra safety precaution.

Great stay, very clean and comfortable.
Ned
We just needed a place to sleep. We weren't there much. It was 2 minutes from our first event, so that was great. The bed was fine. The water is from a well, so we weren't used to the taste. The staff was outstanding. It was perfect for our needs.
timothy
I didn't expect this modest hotel to be so nice. The rooms smelled fresh and we could open the window to allow in the fresh air (a plus for us). It was extremely quiet despite being full capacity. We received coupon for discount on breakfast and really enjoyed the local eatery. I would stay again.

Pork chop the dog was very nice.

The location was great for day trips to areas around onekema,crystal mt and Frankfurt. Sad to arrive and find my room was filthy and when I brought it to the manager’s attention they apologized but their comment of well it’s not the Hilton still sticks with me also their website had pic of a pool and they list bonfire area neither of these amenities were there

Judi
Large, clean room made a great impression on us.
Louis
Nice and reasonably affordable
My wife and I took a trip up North for our anniversary. The motels in Frankfort where expensive. We decided to stay at the Alpine in Bear Lake which was about 20 miles from our destination. It was much more affordable and was surprisingly nice. We would stay again.
Kim
We loved the quiet peaceful feeling of not having a lot of traffic and city noise.
David
Friendly and courteous owners. Nice atmosphere and warm welcoming
Asia
Overall cleanliness of rooms and location was excellent. Inn close to fun putt putt, tasty restaurants, Sleeping Bear dunes, Arcadia dunes, marsh and beach and Empire Beach.
