Super 8 Manistee

One word… Ick! The hallway and our room had a damp and mildewy smell that was inefficiently masked with a flowery cleaner smell. There was a large stain by our bed that I think may have been vomit. I literally could barely breath in the room or the hallway. We paid $ 150 for a single Queen bed at the Military/​Government Rate. Ouch! Front desk staff were not really rude but, seemed distant and annoyed to be checking me in and out. The free shuttle to and from the Casino was nice but, I believe it was ran by the Casino and not actually the Hotel.

We stayed in the Super 8 in Manistee one night only, on our tour around the east coast of Lake Michigan. I grew up on Manistee Ave. in Chicago, so felt a little bit of fondness for the town. Really liked the town.
The Super 8 was comfortable and clean. Not the newest game in town, but the staff were all friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our stay here. Passed on breakfast which was very basic, chose to go to a restaurant.
Overall, we were pleased.

Not a bad place to stay. Clean rooms only problem was the other people staying here don’t know how to hold doors so they don’t slam shut.

To the people bashing this «motel» Seriously! 5 people in one room. No wonder your experience sucked. We had a great stay at the Super 8, I’m not going to over analyze the BS. We just booked 2 nights for $ 60 /​night next week. Halfway between the casino and downtown/​beach. Fridges and microwaves. Coffee maker and complimentary breakfast.

Ewww! Not clean, people hanging out in the parking lot smoking. Booked room for 5, was given two queens, 4 pillows, 3 towels. Found a medication capsule on the floor in the room which ended up being a blood pressure medicine, hydralazine. With three young children, what a freaking nightmare! Smoke alarm kept going off when we gave the kid their showers. A/​c was on high and we had just left the beach, so the kids were freezing, so we turned on the heat. That brought a strong smell of burning to our room. Good times. Only perk was staff was friendly and we were given more pillows when we asked. Will NOT stay again!

Drip… drip…drip…
The air conditioning unit kept us up half the night. After it shut off it would drip so loud it drown out my snoring. The other half was the paper thin walls that allowed us to hear the next room over whispering to each other.
I would have gone 3 stars is the rooms were nice but they were just standard Motel type rooms.
The second star was because we got a microwave, free Wifi, AND a fridge. Next time I’ll pay the extra twenty and stay at the Days Inn down the street.

standard hotel room. had no real complaints — not a super nice room but the staff was friendly, had a warm room, comfy bed, and place to shower.
we needed a place to stay to pass thru down on the way to a weekend ski trip.
there was a casino nearby and the hotel offered a free shuttle to. there was little info on casino — may be worth a stop if you stay at this hotel.
quiet small town. we booked online and got this room for dirt cheap. almost 50% from their published rates. we stayed here in mid march 2011

Pretty much what you’d expect from a Super 8. It was clean and relatively comfortable with friendly staff. A couple complaints I do have though: no elevator to the 2^nd floor and fake/​generic Cheerios at breakfast being loaded into the bin labeled with the real Cheerios placard. The elevator is not a big deal for me, but for my mother, climbing the stairs was an unexpected chore.
