Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Just loved this little suprise! So very clean and the very nice folks. Not really walking distance to town. We did and loved it but it's a distance. Quiet all around. Price was fantastic. We WILL stay there again. Not super fancy so don't expect all of that extra stuff and you'll be fine!

I have been staying at the Dew Drop Inn for probably the last 30 years or so. I still try to make it up every year even after my grandmother passed away in 2014. I stayed at the motel so I wouldn't have to inconvenience my grandmother. Love the clean comfortable rooms and the friendly staff. I also like the fact that it's inexpensive compared to other motels in the area. I look forward to every visit I have up there.

This family-owned motel is located just on the outside of town. The prices are VERY reasonable. The motel had an older look, but was well-maintained, clean, and had beautiful wood ceilings. The beds were very comfortable.

Proprietors we're so kind & helpful. Rooms were small but very clean...even had a small refrigerator! Only stayed one night but would stay there again when passing through Alpena on the way to Mackinac City. Very Satisfied!!!

The best of "mom and pop" motels. I was met by the friendly owner, given a comfortable, no-frills room at a very reasonable price. The bed was very comfortable, though the pillows could have been more substantial. Maintenance on the units is above average. The only gripe I had was that the air conditioner was in the bathroom-not a practical location.

We booked a room for the weekend to visit with family in the area. I thought for the price it was very nice. The rooms & property are very clean. All the staff that worked there & guest were very friendly. I loved the low price. I would stay here again if in town. I would however recommend bringing your own pillow if your a pillow person, I sleep with two. Soap is provided but shampoo etc.& hair dryer are not; but for the price you can't beat it.

Dew Drop Inn has got to be the cleanest motel we have found in Alpena, MI. The rates are amazing. The bathroom was very spacious and the room had a dorm size refrigerator to keep our drinks and leftovers cold. Very convenient location to get to downtown Alpena or Presque Isle. Nice touch to have an alarm clock with outlets to plug our cell phones into at night. Although the décor is dated, it is very well maintained and exceptionally clean. The TV's are old tube-type sets, but the picture was good and cable worked great, besides we only watched a little TV late right before sleeping. The motel could use some updates to the décor and TV's, but maybe that's what keeps the prices so reasonable. Thanks for providing us with a clean, affordable place to stay in Alpena.

We came to Alpena as a 20th Anniversary celebration. All hotels were full because of tournaments and such, so we headed back north and we found Dew Drop Inn had vacancy. We got a couple nights, thinking we would move to a different hotel but we enjoyed our stay so much that we stayed all week. Very clean and staff was pleasant to work with.

I stayed at the Dew Drop Inn over Memorial Day weekend. Fished on Lake Huron for a good bit each evening and was happy to have a nice comfortable place to return to and relax and get ready for the next trip out. It is clean and comfortable motel. The rooms are nice, priced well and exactly as advertised. The staff is friendly and easy to deal with. I would definitely stay again.

Came into town last minute and was recommended to this location by another location that was full. From the Mr.'s politeness over the phone and the Mrs.'s professional warmth at check-in, I was immediately comfortable with a cozy feeling to feeling appreciated and valued as a guest. The room was perfect for myself, very clean and cozy. For a traveling stay, personal or for business, you won't be disappointed with property, location, and price. Thank you for the accommodating stay.
