The staff at the Sunset Motel were great as soon as we arrived. My husband and I are fans of midcentury vibes, especially the vintage knotty pine paneling which we had seen in photos of the rooms. Phenomenal staff called to verify our ETA, so I asked if there might be one of the rooms with knotty pine open for the night. I was told they had already scheduled us for one of the newly renovated rooms. Upon arrival, I found they had moved reservations around so we could have one of the knotty pine rooms! The room was really cozy and it had everything we needed. It was a little on the small side which didn’t bother us, and through the back window we could see old apple trees that were overflowing with apples. This was a nice view and certainly unexpected. Someone at the property really has a green thumb! Though it was October, there were enormous pots of beautiful brightly colored flowers! I would like to know the gardener’s secret. This motel was also a good value and the rooms were all on the ground floor so you can park right in front of your room and have no stairs at all.

The property was actually a few miles outside of town, which we had not realized. This wasn’t a problm for us, but travelers without cars would want to make arrangements as there is much to see in the area. I can’t think of anything we didn’t like about this property. It was just as advertised.

Location was absolutely beautiful. The owners keep the rooms and grounds immaculate. The #1 reason I chose this motel. The reviews were spot on. We left early so we didn't end up getting breakfast but I could of guessed that it also would be amazing.

You can hear everything. Didn't bother us, we use a noise machine and a battery operated fan. 😊 But I wanted to mention, I'm sure someone out there cannot do the noise. Air conditioner also blocked the noise out.

You guys! This hotel was the cleanest place I've ever stayed. I was traveling with my mom who cleans houses for a living so she can be picky and she just kept walking around "I can't believe how clean this place is!". Unlike your traditional hotel rooms, our two queen room was actually two rooms, one bed was in the livingroom/kitchen area, the other bed was in a separate room. It was super cute. Staff was extremely welcoming, seems to be run by an adorable family. The grounds were impeccable. The flowers all over were absolutely beautiful.

If you are a light sleeper, you can hear the highway that goes by. This did not bother me or my mom but could bother some people. The bathroom is quite small, this again was fine for my mom and I, but someone of a larger size could struggle with the smaller amenities.

This motel was awesome. I was impressed with the room and the grounds were more than amazing. It reminded me of Butchart Gardens in BC Canada. The floral arrangement and plants were really impressive. The staff were equally as a amazing. The family who runs this place have gone above and beyond and truly deserve this review. If you're looking for a great place to stay in St Ignace, look no further. There might be larger and more grand rooms than this older hotel has because of it's age, but I highly doubt there's anyplace that puts more care and energy into making their hotel/motel the best possible for their guests. I've added a few pictures but the photos don't even come close to how bright and colorful everything was. The sun was already settling and there wasn't much light when they were taken.

It's slightly off the beaten path, but that could be a bonus for anyone looking for a quiet place to get some rest. I'm not saying it's secluded, it's just off the main highway, so maybe I shouldn't even mention it, but if you're looking to walk to town, it's probably not the place for you. There is a nice bar/restaurant next door. Oh, while I'm mentioning that, their food is great and the portions are really big.

The setting was idyllic - flowers flowers everywhere - gorgeous baskets of flowers. THe hosts were gracious and available and just generally wonderful. Room was comfortable, very clean.

There was nothing we "didn't like". Note that the bathroom is very small and the shower is as well (think slightly larger than cruise ship shower) - but they were adequate, and we knew that going in so no complaints.

The owner was very cheerful & helpful upon check in. He gave good info on places to eat in the area. The flowers around the property are absolutely amazing!! The place is outside of downtown St. Ignace, but not too far to be away from the hustle & bustle. The room had all the amenities that I needed. Next door was a bar that served food all day, but at no point did noise from the bar affect my stay.

Exceptional greeting call upon booking the room to make sure we knew how to get there, if we needed anything else before arrival or in our room. Host was very pleasant when we arrived to make sure we had ice and offered area knowledge on where to eat for dinner and breakfast in the am. Very friendly upon checkout when replenishing ice for the cooler. Grounds were beautiful with flowers and games that could be played.

Traffic on 2 is bad, but just turn on air conditioning and go to sleep! :) Nothing to complain about at all.

The rooms at Sunset Motel were exceptionally clean! Although the room was on the smaller side, every attempt was made to maximize space in thoughtful ways. The bed, pillows, and chair were very comfortable. We were very pleased with our choice to stay at Sunset Motel and would book a room there if we are ever in the area again.

We have no complaints.

Clean, safe, beautiful gardens with hummingbirds, and the HORN family are excellent managers who care.

nothing not to like

Well maintained rooms and grounds. The flowers were beautiful and looked just like the online pictures. Easy access point for a short trip into St. Ignace and points beyond. The proprietor gave us suggestions for points of interest and dining options. Overall a great experience!

It’s next to a four lane highway so there is some road noise. We kept our air conditioner running throughout the night to drown out the noise. Not a dealbreaker for us.
