Review of Bambi Motel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Sept 2024
Fantastic quiet and comfortable 1950s motel in East Tawas, Michigan. We are from the area and just came back for a visit. The staff were friendly and helpful and left candy for us the first night. The beds were fluffy and extremely comfortable! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wonderfully maintained, clean, and comfortable. Our room (28) was large and well-appointed with everything you need. While the motel dates to the early 50s, it has been extremely well cared for. Parking is right in front of your room. We loved our stay here, and the owner is delightful. We would come back to this motel in a heartbeat.

We'd highly recommend the Bambi to anyone staying in the Tawas area. Such amazing customer service from the owners. From first contact to check out, they bent over backwards to help us in any way they could. The rooms are clean and neat and the motel is conveniently walkable to town. Can't wait to stay here again!
