Nice quaint small town, family owned motel. The rooms are clean and bed is comfy. Old fashion door keys and screen doors, if you are looking for fancy, you won't find it here. Lisa, the owner was very welcoming and helpful from my initial call to reserve to checking in. If we are ever back in the area, we will stay again.

Absolutely loved it. Owner was so lovely and kind, room was fantastic. Only gripe is that the bathroom door doesn't close? Lol. But it didn't detract at all.

Coming all the way from Texas to work in Mio MI, we didn’t know what to expect. Luckily we had Lisa from the Mio Motel who accommodated us soooo well. We felt at home, we were here for work and it still felt like vacation. Amazing place and service!!!

Great all around place to stay. Especially for trail riding, summer and winter. Have stayed here a few times, groceries, hardware store and many miles of trails right off the parking lot. Rooms are clean and comfortable with great owners.
