Manistee Inn & Marina

The staff was very nice and the downtown location was ideal. It was pleasant to walk the town. They have several nice shops and restaurants. The staff took great care to make sure I had the things that I needed.

I did not like the super-soft bed! I felt like I was in a Squishy-Mallow toy! I ended up bringing an outdoor chaise lounge into to sleep part of my nights. With recent renovations it's unfortunate they didn't incorporate new philosophy in travel accommodations (such as those the Indigo Hotels have). There was not a closet nor any hangers in my room, only a large dresser. This means I always had to throw my jacket over a chair or on the bed. This could easily be remedied with a 5 foot bench with a hanger-bar over it. I could have set my open suitcase on it, had room to sit down to put on my shoes that I would have stored under the bench. Also I prefer to arrange my intended-outfits on hangers when I arrive.

Loved the location. Next time I go to Manistee will definetly stay at Manistee Inn & Marina. The only thing is that is a little outdated and will be nice to see it upgrade it. Also, the drainage in the tub was really slow. That should be corrected. Mostly more important we saw a hole on the ground of the parking garage in front of the building and that shoul be taking care right away. It will be sad to see the building colapse. Please fix this so nothing bad happens.

That had old bathrooms with really short toilettes. I have a higher one at home and more modern that helps save water.

Our stay was excellent. The hotel was very clean and quiet. The man who checked me in was very nice. Our room had been recently renovated and they did a really nice job. The view of the river was good, the bed was comfortable, the location is excellent. I was able to go around the riverwalk. Very charming little hotel. We plan to stay again in the future.

I was sad to find there was no breakfast available even though it's listed on their website that they provide it. The parking situation also isn't great; they have just a handful of spots in the front and it was never explained to us that there was more parking underneath the building. (I only found it because I walked down by the river.)

I especially loved the location of this unassuming hotel, directly in the middle of Manistee's main street, with cafes, shops, bars, movie theaters and the city's scenic riverwalk all within easy walking distance. The room itself was very clean and cozy. The staff was friendly and their complementary breakfast, while not back to pre-pandemic standards, was nevertheless perfectly sufficient with muffins, cereal, bagels, fruit, juice and coffee.

My one and only complaint is that they didn't offer tea, either with breakfast or in the room. Otherwise, everything was excellent!

I gotta say,my wife and i were pleasantly surprised!! To start with,the location is perfect being close to shops, restaurants, the river, short drive to the beach and a short drive to casino action! The riverwalk is right out your back door and is very nice,also close to a sunset cruise if you can book a spot! The staff(owners) was more than friendly and even upgraded our room for easy access to walk our dog. Price and location with continental breakfast is a big plus. Thank you to the staff for making our short vacation most enjoyable!!

Loved it all, great experience

I didn't go to breakfast, but there is a shop right in the hotel building; location is great! All main attractions are within 1-2 blocks from the hotel. And the boardwalk is passing by. Rooms are clean and spacious; I was in the one facing the river -- it was very calm.

Be aware that reception is closing at 9pm; the building is locked, so you need to get a key (old-fashioned one) to get into the hotel off hours.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. The room was much larger than I expected it to be. The bed was super comfortable. I'm used to hard hotel beds, and this one was perfect. The room was clean. I have stayed in many 3+ star hotels, and I like this place better than most of those. I will definitely stay here again.

Nothing I didn't like.

The manager Jennifer was very polite, professional and helpful. The location was perfect on the riverwalk downtown close to the beach. There was also a nice breakfast place with amazing cinnamon rolls across the street from it too!

The smell from the newly laid carpet and the bed was slightly too soft. I can’t blame them for updates.

Super new and clean and mattress was comfy despite how understated it's construction was.

Wall colors a little depressing (very dark purple), lighting not adjustable (not dim-able). I just really wished the room was a bit more cheerful. Lacking a refrigerator. AC UNIT was too powerful at low setting. I just wished for a little bit more comfort in the room - cheery wall color and adjustable lighting.

The location in the Historic District is perfect. Having the river just outside the window gave some perfect photo opportunities. It has been nicely restored. Designated parking areas are very convenient to both levels.
