Went with my daughter's for our annual Fall trip. It's a decent place to stay for a few nights. Clean room, comfortable beds. The shower head was very wonky and the water would turn from warm to super hot to cold, but other than that, all good. Very convenient location! Close to ferry, restaurants, and Dark Sky Park!

We have stayed at the Vindel Motel for years, coming for the Richard Crane Memorial Semi Truck show in St. Ignace. We have always enjoyed our experience there. I understand it was sold and the new owners this year. Really miss the personal touches that were at the motel before. Like coffee pots, extra towels and conversation.

We never saw any staff at the motel. The check in and out process is all by way of the code for the door.Our room was tucked back into a corner of the motel. The parking was very crowded. We couldn't park near our room. We have a truck and so we parked out by the pool. The room was very clean.

We liked the vintage feel of the rooms and very clean. I know it is an older motel, but really needs to be updated in the bathroom areas to make safer and more accessible for older people and those that have physical disabilities, especially with the toilets being so low to the ground. And unfortunately because of this we could not stay there again.

There was a small refrigerator in the room. The room had a very strong smell of MOLD. There were 2 areas in front of the frig where the carpet was wet from leaking. Based on the smell and condition of the carpet in front of the frig it has been leaking and wet for MONTHS.

I was a little skeptical about their check in/out process but it worked seamlessly and couldn't be any easier. This property has very clean rooms. Beds were comfortable although a little on the firm side. If you're looking for quiet, this is the place. I could not hear the room next door and barely heard car doors which are conveniently parked right at your door. Nice lighting inside and out. Refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and flat screen tv are included. Loved the sink/counter space with corner shelves on each end. Bathroom was small but shower was clean and had adequate water pressure. Stayed three nights and had plenty of towels. I did not have any need for extras so I cannot review the service from staff but I do know they are on site 24 hrs. Shopping district is a short,strait drive down the road with easy access to the Mackinac Bridge. This is probably the best motel I have ever stayed at. I will definetely be staying again!
