Passing through Michigan's UP, we had the chance to stay at the Star Motel. Walking into the place was like walking back through time--lots of the charm and decor of the '60's with prices to match. Our room was big, extremely clean, had a beautiful view of Lake Michigan out the back, and slept very comfortably. What a deal! If... More

Last minute stop on our way back to Wisconsin through the UP. Motel was just as described by other tripadvisor reviewers - clean, spacious, inexpensive...with a nice view of Lake Michigan out the back window. The only issue was the shower pressure and temperature control was a little off. Will definitely stay again when we are passing through.

The Star Motel is a great find! Cheap rates and beautiful views. Lots of room to stretch out in. The owner was friendly and efficient. All the comfort you could ask for on the way north! Towels are skimpy but that seems insignificant. We will stop there again.

We spent one night here. Our room, # 17, was big, warm, and very clean. It had large clean windows in back with a view out to Lake Michigan, which was nice. The owner lady was helpful with restaurant suggestions (3 Mile Supper Club was our choice.) After seeing some of the other motel choices in Manistique, we were pleased... More

Manistique seems to be a sort of middle Upper Peninsula place to fuel up or lay over on trips. We typically stay at chain motels because of a few awful stays at older motels in other towns. We decided to try the Star Motel based upon reviews here, and we're happy with our choice. The motel is on the beach... More

I spent a little over a week in the UP on this trip going from end to end. This was one of the best motels I stayed at the whole time. The price was very reasonable and the room was very large, which felt strange for one person. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Glad... More

Spotless and well maintained older facility in a wonderful location. Rooms are large with a great view of Lake Michigan. The price cannot be beat. Only (very minor) issue was that the room took a long time to warm up even with the heat on max, but we stayed on a cold, blustery day. Will stay here again without a... More

Based on Tripadvisor reviews, we booked our stay at the Star. It's name fits the accommodations. We have stayed at other locations in Manistique and this one tops them all. Spacious rooms....extremely clean.....a home away from home. Magnificent lake views and private beach access. My husband has fished for years in this area and will definitely return for future fishing... More
