Alger Falls Motel

This is a very comfortable, clean and updated motel about a mile outside of Munising. The room and bathroom are not large. However there are two bedside tables and a small round table and two chairs. The bed is a king and very comfortable. We stayed two nights and it was just fine. The only downside is the traffic noise from M28.

Stayed in small cottage/cabin. Simple, cozy cabin stocked with most kitchen supplies. Bedrooms are really tight. Beds were comfortable but sofa sleeper was horribly uncomfortable. Kids enjoyed the pool table onsite. We appreciated coffee onsite. Great location Just a few minutes away from downtown Munising. Cabin was clean. Many hooks in the bathroom but they could add shelves or something for storage in the bathroom. We noticed an odd odor initially but I think it was from a cleaning solution they used because it resolved after a day.

This was the cheapest motel in Munising, by far. The chains were $200 and up, while this was $139 before tax. The bed was comfortable. The room was a bit small, but more than enough for a couple. There is a fridge with a freezer compartment and a microwave. There is a wall AC unit. The bathroom is small but adequate. The motel office has free coffee and an ice machine. There is a small round table with two chairs. It's not the cleanest motel but not bad. The only downside is that the motel is set back only about 50 feet from the road which is a busy highway. As it is a couple miles outside Munising, the traffic hasn't slowed down at all and is going 50-60 mph.

Alger falls is a privately owned motel that we have been staying at for years. It does an awesome job of providing an economical, well located, comfortable place to stay in munising! We love it! And the staff is so friendly!

We booked 2 nights for a double queen room. They messed up and gave us a 1 queen room for night 1 and offered a double queen room for night 2. We didn’t want the hassle of moving so we denied the offer. Upon entering, the smell just hits you in the face. Very musty and off putting. The toilet was leaking around the base. They claimed it was just condensation. It was not. The toilet also stopped flushing but my husband was able to pop the lid and get it working. The bathroom door wouldn’t close properly unless you lifted the door upwards. The pillows on the bed were old and one smelled heavily of greasy heads. Luckily I brought my own and tossed the others on the floor. We opted not to stay the second night because it just felt gross in there. The owner said we should get back part of our money because she thought she’d book it, no problem. We haven’t received any kind of refund. We got offered casino cash for their mess up in the room booking and that was it. Pretty disappointed in this motel and that we basically just burned over $100 because we had the leave after 1 night. We had had enough.

Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here! Our toilet wouldn’t flush all night, my husband finally got it to flush this morning. The AC unit smelled so bad of mildew or mold that we went without AC throughout the night in the dead of summer. To top it all off there was blood on a pillow and I only noticed it because it was sticking out of the open end of the pillow case. The front desk left at 10pm so there was no one to help once we discovered all these items. We high tailed it out of there at 6am. Even staying there for only 8 hours it was too long. Charging $200 a night after fees and taxes is robbery in my opinion. It is obvious they are not investing back into the hotel to keep this place up to date. I did call after we got service back and the front desk did not offer any discount for the issues we encountered.

Horrible experience. We had three couples. Three rooms. When water broke we couldn’t use bathroom. No apology they snarkily said “good luck finding somewhere else to stay”. So dismissive. The rec room is old must room with stain nasty pool table. Bedrooms musty old pillows cand yeah plumbing issues.

Great option if you're look for a place to sleep while enjoying the area. Rooms were clean, beds were comfy and staff was great

We stayed her per reviews on trip advisor & hotels. It's a great mom n pop road side motel with little frills. The room is clean, and office attendant is very nice/knowledgeable. I would NOT say this is in town it's about 2 miles up the hill from the edge of town. I do recommend this place if you are looking for a clean start/stop point.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely locally owned motel. The hotel is wonderfully located right by Munising - with access to a wealth of nature trails, beaches and boat rides, delicious restaurants and bars, the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and countless attractions. The staff was lovely from check in to check out. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! The rates were on the lower end of the spectrum during high season in Northern Michigan. We preferred staying here and supporting local business over some cold, impersonal big box chain motel (which probably wouldn't have been any better in service or quality) The rooms were simple but super clean.. sparkling clean bathrooms, clean soft cotton sheets and comforters (not those icky polyester comforter covers) and a nice TV with all the stations we needed. We liked sitting outside on our own chairs at night.. and enjoyed the fire pit on the lawn! The morning was bright and crisp, and only 5 minutes down the road there's a coffee shop with delicious bagels, Bay Furnace Bagel Works. We brought our bagels home to motel and enjoyed them as we got ready for a big day of adventure in the UP. I was traveling 9 months pregnant and left my sacred most loved pregnancy support pillow in the bed (hidden in the covers) and the owner was nice enough to offer to ship it to our home!!! They are SO NICE here! We will definitely be returning! We loved staying here!

Book this place for a snowmobile trip Friday through Monday. First of all the remote for the TV would not work and the manager told us that all the tv remotes had problems while telling us her Ambien was kicking in. Water pressure in the bathroom sink was so strong that water would splash around everywhere. Ice machine was broken in the lobby. We were charged 12% tax 6% sales tax 6% tourist tax. Someone had wrecked into my snowmobile require us to leave Sunday instead of Monday and the manager said we could not be reimburse as they have a 48 hour policy. She did inform me that if they could get our room rented that they would only be able to credit me back partially. I will never come back here. The room had a dingy smell to it that i didn't care for as well.

Nice little motel about 5 miles from the center of Munising. Our room had a fridge and microwave, which was great since we were there a couple nights and also had smoked fish with us. The staff is super friendly. There's wifi and good selection of cable channels. It's not the quietest spot if you leave your windows open as you can hear cars driving by, but it's totally fine with the windows closed. Would stay there again.

Old-school motel. The rooms are comfortable, if a bit small. Not much in the way of seating or work space, but good WiFi and comfortable beds. Located just outside Munising, but easy to get to. We enjoyed our stay.

I visited Munising with a few friends and we stayed in the large cabin that they have. We were a party of 6 and it was the perfect amount for this place (I would keep in mind that there was still only 1 bathroom in the cabin). I felt welcomed and was able to enjoy my time at this place. They had everything that we needed in the kitchen. We brought food and the fact that we did not need to worry about bringing plates and other cooking materials was great. The grill that they have isn't the greatest but it does get the job done. They had cable, which was nice because the NBA playoffs were happening and we were able to catch that. It was such a relaxing place and everyone for the most part was friendly with us.

We stayed in one of the cabins - two couples in a two bedroom - and it was clean, well appointed and comfortable. I would rate it as a reasonable value with the only negative marks given for the fact that there is only one bathroom (I know, it's a minor point for a family but for two couples...) and a very inflexible cancellation policy. We did not have to cancel but with a two week policy it is pretty inflexible. The staff were all very friendly and very helpful, and I could certainly book again here. Just make sure you don't have a change in plans!

Perfect accommodations. We stayed in their two bedroom cottage....couldn't have been better! Very clean and cute.

Booked a room for Oct 27 - 29th 2013, missed the Fall Season (could not be helped), but still a wonderful trip - leaves were still vibrant and overall my fiancee and I had a wonderful vacation. Only had two issues, one being the bed and the other just the limited places to eat this time of year. The local area book in the room - to help guest find places for food or other interesting spots in the area was fine enough, but it really should have listed the Navigator Restaurant - which for some reason gets a lot of bad reviews but during the off season I have to say it was probably the most superior of places to eat. The Motel is just 5 miles out from Munising main thoroughfare and it takes no time at all to find someplace to dine. The Motel is close to the highway, but the windows, curtains, and door supply enough sound proofing to get decent sleep or a good conversation without feeling like you are standing by a busy highway. The bed on the otherhand, initially it seems suitable but after an hour it feels like you are sleeping on a hard concrete slab - a bit of tossing and turning was had the first night, but we used the extra blankets to cushion the mattress. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The WiFi was great for us to upload our photos of our trip to friends and family, and in my case to Voice call through Facetime with my sister (Sprint is terrible service to have in the UP when you visit). Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our Fridge in the room was unplugged, and we had no reason to plug it in, though its a nice feature considering if you bring back leftovers from the places in Munising. Would happily book here again.
