This place was a quick one night stay, and honestly I was pretty grateful. The check in was the hotel next door, that was fine. The grounds were ok, but the room upon entering had a bit of an odor. The room was clean, but the comforter was dated and old & the pillows were small. Both my husband and I bought ice because the ice room had an odor as well. Make this a quick overnight but not a destination stay. They were pet friendly which was very helpful.

We stayed here at The Crow’s Nest last year in June, and had a great time. The king suite was the only thing available anywhere for the 4th of July weekend this year, so we booked it. The room was extremely clean with lots of room. The bed… OMG so comfortable! I noticed they had the protective mattress on which is a huge plus. The jacuzzi tub was the best part! This is our new favorite place for the price and location.

Yes there are flies but if you keep your door open you will get them! That is not the fault of the motel. I left the door open so I got a couple of flies. Different bugs in different seasons.

It's ok for what it is. Generally the cheapest option in Tawas which isn't really that cheap due to the limited competition in northern MI. Loud AC, WIFI doesn't work well (assuming due to the router being too far away), rooms have that faint smell of smoke--where someone smoked and they tried to clean and cover up the smell. All that said- they do seem to be recently remodeled. The staff was ok and they do try. They have a decent continental type breakfast with hb eggs, cereal, waffles,juices, coffee, toast, oatmeal, bagels. It is what it is-some would never stay in a place like this. For me, it's ok.

The person who checked us in long haired ponytail was the rudest person we've ever encountered. While checking in I went to hand him my ID and credit card he just looked me and said what do I need are you checking in. I said yes. He said down here and I dont need your cards, then proceeded to ask for all my information that I was handing him. After he gets all the info in he says wait for the prompt then hit summit. I waited a minute or so as it says confirm but in dark gray im thinking its going to turn green then hit the button. He gets mad because I didn't hit the button. So as starts explaining how breakfast in the morning works I start walking away and he calls me an a hole. Needless to say after talking to other's that were staying there he treated everyone like we were a burden. Horrible Horrible customer service.
