This motel is very convenient right off the highway; you don't hear any highway noise which was great. We didn't eat the breakfast but it looked pretty sparse. Unfortunately the room itself felt grimy (especially the really old carpet) and not clean. The finials on the headboards aren't attached (my kids thought they made great baseball bats), the headboard had a weird slimy coating on it, the flat sheet used instead of a fitted sheet wouldn't stay on the bed, the chairs in the room were mismatched, the bathroom faucet had weird pressure and always sprayed us. But it was important to us to stay right in Fowlerville, so we just sucked it up.

Was told there was a continental breakfast Saturday morning there were 5 pre wrapped small muffins, no liquid like milk juice or coffee. Bins with dry cereal. I took 3 muffins
Sunday morning the conditions were the same with the 2 muffins left from Saturday. Did note that who I am assuming was the owners son sitting in the lobby eating his bowl of cereal

The front desk employees were incredibly rude and unhelpful, no one there knew how to properly run a hotel except for the one male manager. It took them 30 minutes to get us checked in late at night after we gave them our name and confirmation code for the prepaid stay and they tried to tell us that it wasn’t in the system. Eventually we got it sorted but the next day they walked in on me changing without knocking.

You Get What You Pay For

\"You get what you pay for.\" A phrase you often hear in life. Our recent family trip to Fowlervilee MI, we weren't expecting to pay for a hotel but our plans to stay with family sadly changed. We found the Magnuson and went for it since it was close to family. Upon arriving, we were told their was no longer a pool or congenital breakfast which was advertised on the website at the time of booking. A little disappointed but not the end of the world for us. We walked into our room once we were able to finally get the door open. Apparently after swiping your key card, you have to pull the handle at the right time to open it. The room is incredibly outdated. The beds were like bricks. They did not clean our room each day. Only took out the trash and gave us new towels. The shower did not drain properly. The sink was never cleaned. We went to Walmart right next door and bought our own Clorox wipes to clean and disinfect the room ourselves. We were throughly unhappy. Truthfully, this hotel is not cut out foe families but is the perfect place for truckers or anyone who doesn't care to sleep in a clean place.

I had to explain to him what they were, ugh. Glad for the fridge and microwave. I like they keep the price affordable. The beds are hard but I only stayed one night so the price was worth it. I couldn't sleep two nights though, my back would be rough. Clean pillows and blankets though.

1) Check in staff failed to mention that standard amenities described on their website and third party websites are NOT being offered. There is no free, in lobby breakfast of any sort. The indoor pool has been closed for some time.
2) Notice to pet owners the pet friendly hotel charges $20/pet @ night at check in.
3) the room was clean but extremely dated and not being kept up. We took pictures as proof- shower handle falling off, holes drilled in walls between rooms and “fixed” by stuffing wads of toilet paper in the holes ( we have pictures). The electric fire alarm on the ceiling was removed and the wires hanging out if the ceiling. ( again we have pics) the coffee maker was 20 yrs old and leaked water when started.
4) room is marked non smoking but rm had stench of previous smokers and cigarette burn holes in bedspread ?!?!!

5) sheets did not fit the bed and slid off when sitting on the edge.

Motel room that does the job!

This sure was a motel! Was pretty much the last hotel room available in the area on short notice for MSU’s homecoming game. The surrounding area feels a little sketchy late at night and there is no late-night food option within 25 minutes. Hotel was pretty middle-of-the-road. The beds were sleepable, the plumbing and fixtures and heat all worked, and we were able to check in late at night without issue. Overall nothing to write home about but also no real complaints

It was not a good time here. My family and i get here, its a motel, not a hotel like it says. The beds are hard. The pillows are not big enough for your head. Whatever. We can deal with it. We leave to go to dinner, get back and theres a suspicious vehicle sitting infort of our room. No one else had a room on the back side of the building except us. We get inside, my husband goes out to the car and sees this truck take off with 3 police cars hauling through the parking lot. Obviously not a great spot. We have our child with us. We want to get out.

NOT a hotel, this is a motel, but it was exactly what my wife and I needed, a place to lay our heads for the night. Don't expect much more than that. Rooms were clean, but the lighting was awful. It gave the room a creep hospital vibe, even during the day light. The matress was basically a concrete slab with sheets. But I guess it was better than driving more than an hour home in the middle of the night.

Pros- Our room was very clean and the staff is all very friendly. The hotel is very easy to get to and parking is not a problem. I enjoyed having a fridge that actually had a freezer section it! Their are plenty of dressers and storage options, free wifi and a nice flat screen tv. The room was a good size and very accommodating :) Cons-The hotel is extremely outdated. Our room had an old stagnant musty smell. The shower head is low so its hard for people over 5\"6 to shower. The sink is on the outside of the bathroom and its hard to wash your hands without constantly bumping into the sink itself.The outside railing is pretty wobbly and unsafe. Being that their is no pool and the hotel is very much in need of updating, I feel that the price was a little too much for what they have to offer. Overall, if I find myself back in the area and need a quick place to stay for the night, I would consider staying at the Magnuson again.

1st room we were given the AC didn’t work. It was late, so we decided to live with it through the night and let staff know in the am. They switched our room for the 2nd night, into another room that the air didn’t work in, this time the fridge also didn’t work and the toilet leaked. We were gone all day, so we didn’t notice until we can back at the end of the day. So we were moved again, at which point the front desk person laughed and said she had just forgotten to “flip the switch”, as if there were a master switch to turn the air on, which there may be. So room we were moved to the for the last time had air conditioning, but the keys had not been assigned correctly, so back to the front desk again. We had reserved 3 rooms in total, yet me and my son got stuck repeatedly in the room with problems. On the last morning, at 8:20am, after we had packed up, but intended on coming back for a nap, I called the motel to see if we could have a late checkout on any of the rooms, so we could catch up on sleep, since we had had multiple uncomfortable nights due to them, and one of the rooms we had reserved was still occupied at that time. The front desk person stated they had already started cleaning the two rooms that we had left, but intended on coming back to before 11am checkout, and we couldn’t get back into them. Nearly two hours before checkout time, we would not be allowed back in. They did not offer to make anything right, we’ve stayed here before many times, but no more.
