This year will make our 6th or 7th year that our family will get together for the Victorian Christmas weekend and stay at the Motor Lodge. Barb, Jerry and Angie make us feel right at home. They go out of their way to make us welcome. We have a good time with family and friends and are looking forward to... More

This motel is in a great location, and it's very clean. It's not the newest thing in the world, but they've done a nice job keeping it clean and reasonably priced. We'd definately stay there again. The breakfast wasn't great for anyone gluten free, but there's always room for improvement.

Barb and Jerry were so helpful with my husband's physical handicap, they made sure his needs were met. I loved having a mini fridge and microwave in the room, plus the room was clean and large. Although the hotel is an older hotel, Barb and Jerry try there very best to make sure your stay is comfortable. It was great... More

My husband and I wanted to get away but be close to home for our mini-honeymoon and chose to stay here with Barb, Jerry, and Angie. It was a home away from home. The rooms were absolutely immaculate and super comfortable. The mini fridge was great when we would bring some left overs from local restaurants and the breakfast was... More

I chose this motel because of the price. Even at $72 + tax it seemed overprice, but every other motel in the area was over 100+ ( it was July 4th weekend). The room was large, but very dated. Nothing had been updated for over 50+ years. The location is on the main highway, but not near any town (10+... More

We were very sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. The motel itself was built in 1972 (38 years ago) and the furniture is less than 8 years old. Although we are located in the country, it is only 1½ miles to Onekama and the best fishing and restaurants anywhere. I’m sure by now the lock has been... More

We were very pleased with our stay at Alpine Motor Lodge. This hotel sits on a scenic hillside with well maintained grounds. Our room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The owners are truly service orientated and accomodated any extra requests we made(example: extra pillows). The continental breakfast was good, and all this for a very reasonable price. This was...

Stayed at the Alpine over the 4th of July weekend with our 3 year old and 13 year old. The rooms were older but clean, very spacious with refrigerator and coffee maker. Beds were a bit lumpy and pillows flat (we always bring our own pillows, though). The owners/operators were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.... More
