I traveled from Iowa to Michigan for a trip and was very impressed with the hotel we stayed at. I loved how modern the decor was and how spacious the room felt. Everything was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The front desk area was also charming and well kept. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely stay here again if I come back through the area.

So let’s start with the positive. The actual property is very cute and quaint. The staff and the people who I met while staying there are extremely accommodating and willing to make your stay work. The main issues I had was they appear to miss the small things that could make this a gem of a property. Our particular room was very basic. Older furniture and an A/C unit that was probably as old as I am. It was so old that every time it came on it smelled of mildew. Our door was so out of whack that it required me to put my shoulder into it in order to get it open, the lock looked like someone had taken a hammer to it and our key wouldn’t work so we got locked out of our room. While we were at dinner the manager had a new lock installed. The bathtub was so clogged that if your shower was more than 3 mins you were standing in ankle deep water. I get the need to find affordable remodel materials when outfitting a bathroom but many properties we have stayed at much like this one are using dangerous materials. The bathroom tile was a glazed coating that when wet was like ice. The shower was a new insert shower/Tub which when wet was also like ice. Both my wife and I almost fell while showering it was so slick. More practical, yet affordable materials need to be considered in the future. We had a lamp that didn’t work. They had a small mini golf area but it had weeds growing in it so you couldn’t play. It’s these small things that if handled it could be a nice little oasis in the wilderness. I give them credit for being attentive but had these issues been handled prior these issues wouldn’t have been a problem. If you are looking for a no frills roadside motel for an affordable price this fits the bill.

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.

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!
