Late booking... Excellent stay

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Oct 2020
We were desperate to find a room at 9PM on a Saturday night because our plans to leave a family wedding and head back to Fenton didn't fit the moment. Oscoda was booked up. The folks at Northern Traveler went out of their way to set up a room being planned for renovation. My wife and I thought it was fine in the current condition. The owners were great, we had a comfortable night in a clean room and fresh coffee from the pot in our room. Would visit here again...
Date of stay: October 2020
Room Tip: End room was very quiet and pleasant

I stayed here for one night. I phoned to place the reservation and promptly got an email confirmation. We were greeted when we arrived about 6:30 pm and given a key to our room. The room was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. There were two remotes for the tv- one for volume and one to switch channels.. There were other people staying but we might as well been alone, it was very quiet. The two problems I had with the motel was: 1) The bathroom shower was not tall enough. At 5’10”, I had the stoop down to wet my face and hair. 2) There wasn’t room darkening shades in the room. The front window had a light that cast a strong glow all night long. The bathroom window, although facing the back of the property did not offer full coverage of the window.
I like privacy- and I don’t think it’s asking a lot.

Awesome motel. All new furniture and furnishings. Close to town and beach. The owners were very hospitable. Would definitely stay there again next time we’re in town. Would also recommend this motel to others!

New owners are a very pleasant family and warmly greeted us. The room we stayed in was recently remodeled, exceptionally clean, spacious and well decorated. The theme in our room was pine cones, and attention to detail was found throughout. The beds were so comfortable. The little items like nice smelling soap, shampoo, napkins, clean refrigerator, coffee maker with coffee are things you don't find at typical motels. I felt like I was staying at a nice bed and breakfast, or in someone's home as a guest more than a traveler at a motel. We will stay here again for sure.

Absolutely wonderful clean, newly remodeled rooms. The owners are very nice. The rooms are themed such as the (owl room), (moose room) and so on. The hotel is quiet, ) off the beaten path. with woods surrounding the property. You can see Lake Huron across the street. Appx. 3 minutes to Oscoda Beach Park, near a K mart and grocery store. And 5 to 6 minutes from the best (all)restaurants. 6 minutes from Oscoda canoe/ kayak rental place.I 've stayed here twice in the last month. The best deal and rooms around.

Room tip: I have stayed in room 3 and 11.Rooms are sunny and quiet.

The room was the size of a postage stamp, hot - with the AC in the bathroom so it took forever to cool down, refrigerator was not plugged in so we couldn't chill anything (and we arrived around 11 PM so it wasn't worth the bother to try plugging it in), the toilet... omg. I'm still traumatized by that whole experience... it ran. And it ran. And ran. And ran. And wouldn't flush. Every time you used it you had to plunge it. And the AC blew all the smell right into the room. There were only 2 pillows on a very uncomfortable bed so I got no sleep and was up and dressed at 5 AM ready to leave the dump. There was no code given for the "free" wifi which was locked. After a long drive to get there it sure was not very welcoming and was horribly uncomfortable :-(
