What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 51 guest reviews
Scotty's Motel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests repeatedly highlighting the exceptional cleanliness, prime Munising location, and the warmth of the on-site owners Annie and Derek as standout strengths. The retro-meets-modern aesthetic and thoughtful extras like a sauna, fire pit, and well-stocked kitchenettes add genuine value. A handful of guests flagged beds that were too soft, rooms that felt tighter than photos implied, and occasional AC inconsistencies — minor but recurring points worth noting.
