We really enjoyed our stay at Timberline Motel. The staff is super friendly.The rooms are large and very clean.The bathrooms were good and even had a hairdryer. Really liked the single level building, parked our car right outside our room. The breakfast of coffee, juice, bananas, waffles, muffins or bagels was generous. There is a common room with a microwave,... More

The timberline seems to be a cool old school motel. Price was good and it was clean, but maintainence seems to be slipping. Our room seemed to have had a leak in the roof and the ceiling had been painted over with a few different shades of white. Carpet was dry, but still showed the water stain. Wallpaper had peeled...

Clean bathroom, OK price. But that s about where the *plus* list ends. Difficult to communicate with the guy at the desk who checks you in. He tells you there is internet up by the breakfast room---good luck with that one. If you re lucky enough to get logged on to internet, you ll be dropped momentarily. The television in... More

One of my friends organized a "Girls' Night Out" in Saugatuck. We stayed at the Timberline. The rooms are basic but there is a coffee machine (critical for me), a fridge, and decent air conditioning. I love the old time style of the motel. It is of the "auto court" era and looks like all the motels I stayed in... More

If you are looking for a quaint B&B or a luxury option, this is not your choice. But if you want to stay in a clean motel with good service and a basic room at a good price, this is a perfect option. A clean bathroom and floor is pretty important to me, and this place is very, very, clean.... More

I chose the Timberline with some trepidation; it had been a long time since I'd stayed at a hotel in the USA that wasn't part of a chain. The Timberline was well worth the gamble. The gardens are immaculate, pool clean and inviting, and it looked as though they'd recently put new carpeting and mattresses in the rooms. The continental... More

Tucked away off busy Blue Star Highway in quiet enclave of trees and in ground pool. About 5 minute drive to Saugatuck and Douglas. This is a motor lodge so door to room has direct access to outside parking. No issues with security during our stay and guests are mostly families with children and couples. Reasonable daily rates and do... More
