Very dark and dingy. Outdated is an understatement. The shower looked newer but it was very small and extremely dark! Two faucet fixtures in the wall mount bathroom sink, one hot and one cold, so you scaulded yourself trying to get warm water. Room appeared to have been cleaned but looked like large mildew stains on the bottom of the wall. Needs more outlets and lights. Needs to be completely updated. Check in was all done online.

The location is the only thing useful with this property.
Gross coffee provided in the room, almost no channels with tv, ac didn’t really work, toilets overflowing and no breakfast provided.
To no fault of the staff I encountered (they were all very polite and apologetic for any issues) this place used to be pretty decent until it was bought out and turned into an Adobe.

The room was okay. The water pressure was horrible.
Upon arrival they didn’t have my reservation. 15-20 minutes to confirm reservation.
No breakfast. No one in office. Didn’t even sign anything for the room which, I found strange but needed to get back on the road.
It was okay for the price and will probably stay again considering I have family in the area and choice of motels are limited.
Just some strange series of events.

We were in room 20, beyond that room is 21 and 22, there was no parking, all the spots in the hotel parking lot were taken. We had to park on a different street behind the hotel. When we checked in there was no “obvious” hotel office and no sign saying “office”. After driving around the parking lot I found a lady that works there and I asked about checking in, she said what’s your name, gave it to her and she said, “ok, you’re checked in”. The next day a large group of Harley Bikers pulled in late sometime after supper, they also had a very hard time checking, they left their bikes running and of course had to keep revving their bikes up. I’m not against any biker groups and had it been easier for them to check in they wouldn’t have left there bikes running so long.
It’s not a bad facility, just extremely amateurish how it’s run

Sadly, the toilet wouldn't flush because the water table was too high due to recent precipitation. We had no idea how long it may have been inoperable though we were told it would be at least an hour. On a positive note, the manager did submit a refund for us as we decided to find another option further down the road.

Not sure. My first time there.

There was no one on duty when we arrived. Everything is done via text messages. I texted them with some questions several times, tried calling them (full mailbox) and finally was answered at 9:00pm. We requested a room change, and they did respond at 9:00 pm via phone call. The newer rooms are nice. If the customer service improves it will be a good place to stay. I don't know what was happening, as they didn't say. Nice dinner restaurant nearby. They don't have a breakfast option in the motel. No breakfast restaurants nearby in Naubinway, but there's one 10 miles away. There's a convenience gas station in Naubinway with food for purchase. All in all it's OK.

Your website said there is a breakfast at $1. But there was no option for that. Another issue was your room description was saying it’s with kitchen. But there was no kitchen just small fridge and microwave without any utensils. Based on your description we did not brought the enough utensils and brought some raw food to cook. Which got wasted, we have 2 kids and we are also vegetarian, so we prefer to cook food ourselves. My 3 year old kid got sick after having outside food.

Reasonable rates. Being somewhat picky but the flimsy, thin sheets seemed to stick to us, and unfortunately caused sleep interruptions. The outlets were too far away from the bedstand to plug in the CPAP. The bedside light was too short/small to be much good for reading. Otherwise - the bathroom was nice, towels were great, and generally an ok experience. It was our first time booking via Expedia and that was confusing and stressful. When we arrived at the property about 1-2 hours after booking, the office was closed and a sign said that we got a text with our room number and instructions. It wasn't until an hour later did we get the text.

I loved the beds - often, hotel beds are too hard or too soft - these were great.

Overall, a good choice in the UP - we will continue to stay here when visiting.

Small quaint little property. For what it is- it’s good. It’s very dated, the window had no lock, the screens were not fully in, there was only a chain lock and door knob lock- in the middle of nowhere, didn’t feel the most comfortable. It was ok for where it was and again, what it is. I could hear everything happening outside, inside, doors shutting, etc. terrible lighting in the room and bathroom. Not many outlets and plugs don’t stay in them. I needed to iron my

I love Adoba. They leave the key in the room. Then just text or email you which room is yours- no check in, just park and walk into your room. They do daily room cleaning if you want. Staff is very friendly, but you dont have to interact much if you dont want. The beds are crazy comfortable. I will say some of their rooms are just a bed, tv, maybe a chair, and a bathroom. Only some rooms have the smallest minifridge. I think theres a coffe maker in some(or all, im not sure)
You will hear your neighbors, and the two years we stayed it was predominantly construction guys who commute up there and stay while working on the roads, so they all show up at like 5 or 6pm, hooting and holler outside(which is fine because theyre fixing the roads that got you there) and then they wake up at the crack of dawn, but they get out fast so no biggie.
We love it here. It will be our 3rd year staying here in july 2025. Moofin fries has some of the best burgers and fish, its right next door. Beary Patch is 15min down the road and has amazing breakfast. Location is a 10/10 if youre exploring the UP.
