Mid-City Motel

Simple place to stay. Definitely could use some updates, but just fine for a one night stay.

The room was spacious - we were a little cold - did not realize the bathroom window was open - but we did eventually turn up the heat. We had to ask for shampoo The staff was very helpful and pleasant.

The motel needs to be closed to the public. I am so upset I woke up to bed bug bites all over my arms and shoulders. I didnt feel unsafe but the motel is old and run down and its not worth the 90 dollars. People live here and outside there rooms its bbq pits, old chairs and bikes. I will Never recommend this motel to anyone. The front desk ladies were very nice to me but its just a stuck in the 70's motel stay in the tourist are exit 392 on that *****. Dont put your health at risk to just save a few bucks.

Let's just say that it should have come as no surprise that this was the absolute last hotel to have a room available for rent in a 100 mile radius. Pulling into the property you knew the prospects weren't just not good, they were nonexistent. The room assigned was on the 2nd floor. The railing wasn't safe. The 2nd floor causeway felt like it was going to give way at any moment. Then for the room...1950s original. Curtains so old they had pin holes from the sun burning them for 70 years. They were draped on the rods and were useless. The room was 61 degrees, window cracked to ease the smell, no blankets for the beds, and no hot water. The low that night was 34 so kicked on the heat - baseboard heat. It never worked and probably I was safer that it didn't work as the place might have burnt down. Bathroom had no toiletries. It also had an electric plug next to the sink from 1950 that wasn't GFI. Missing lightbulbs and open sockets was the impressive bathroom decor. Bed was short to the ground as I don't think it had any springs. If you wanted the alarm clock you would need to unplug one of the lights. I honestly don't know how the city hadn't yet red tagged / condemned the property. So if you are incredibly desperate and there is the choice of booking here or spending the night in your car, well, hopefully the seat belt isn't too much of a bother.

Better locks , better curtains

Our room was a nonsmoking room but it smelled liked it was.

It's an OK place to stay on a budget and close to the Soo Locks. The motel had a good deal of clutter belonging to people staying there, but I never felt unsafe and I've stayed there a number of times.

windows were not locked. I liked that it was very quiet in the evening and people were very friendly.

Little parking. Almost every room seemed to be filled with transients from either drug rehabilitation or the local correctional facility. Building was very outdated and in disrepair. Office only open “8-ish” until dinner time. I did acquire a complimentary cigarette burn hole in my boat cover, thanks to a resident.
