We were very happy with our last minute stay at Carla's Inn. It was significantly cheaper than other options in the area during move in week at Mich Tech.

Great motel. Carla herself checked us in. Had a restaurant next door that burned part of the lobby, but still a great traditional motel.

Nice quiet hotel

I do not usually leave reviews but we stayed here last year and it was a nice place to stay so when we got the chance to go to Keweenaw area again I booked it for this year. It is a older hotel as you can see in the pictures but Carla is super nice and helpful. It is a family business and you can contact Carla if you need anything. The rooms are clean and nice inside and has everything you need. It is a nice quiet pretty setting with the water right across the road. I would definitely recommend staying there, we will when we are in the area again.

Old Timey Roadside Charmer!

What a great little motel! If you've ever felt the tug of nostalgia about staying at a true mom & pop roadside motel like the ones that we used to have in the US, this is the place to stay at! It was like stepping back into the 1970s....except for the flat screen TV....the old wrought-iron bed....the wooden nightstands...dinette table with wooden chairs....this is what I remember hotels along route 66 being like back in the day! Just a few miles from town, and directly across the street from the bay (do NOT MISS sunrise! It was glorious!) this was the perfect way to be secluded in comfort on our road trip tour of the UP. Clean, super reasonable price, quiet, easy to get to....not a single negative to report. Coffee maker, big refrigerator, microwave, all the needs met. Lots of hot water too! This little GEM of a motel is now on my permanent list of where to stay when we are back in the UP! The nightstand even had a PHONE BOOK...talk about a blast from the past! They even provided a box fan for white noise sleeping like a rock! The air conditioner blew cold too. Screen door on entrance so you can sleep with the main door open if you wanted to. Hats off to the owners! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

2/10 Poor

Overpriced for what you get.

When I rate these hotels I always consider the value proposition. In other words does it fit the cost I pay. This room cost more than I typically pay for a 4 star hotel and yet the list of what was classified as a dump is pretty long. For starters the room was sagging towards the woods. That’s right. Not level. So slanted the bathroom door would not stay open. Lawn and weeds growing up everywhere. The outdoor office filled with junk. No electrical outlet in the bathroom. Light switches in odd places. Room furniture coming apart. This was a “dump” to say the least and I could look past some of this if the rate was affordable. But rooms in this area go for $400+ a night so $166 which is what we paid I guess is the bottom end. Just be prepared to sleep at a slant / angle.

Nice location albeit away from town but great view, lots of outdoor seating and small room thoughtfully filled to address all needs.

Great little spot in Baraga

It's a small motor lodge and feels like a small motor lodge, but it's comfortable, has a great view, and is a worthwhile stop for weary travelers.

I liked the convenience of location,,I had two kids to pickup and move on. If you have dogs this is a great place to hang out,, If you are a non dog owner you will not like it, Reasonable price for short lay over

8/10 Very good

I did not check out the area when I was booking the place. When I arrived, I did not see an office to go into. I saw a sign that said to call the manager. I asked how I could get in. She had an envelope with my last name pinned to a bulletin board. I was surprised because I saw two other envelopes with names on them. I thought that would not be secure at all. If you are worried about security, I would not recommend this place. I asked if there was any place to eat around here. She spoke about a hotel restaurant, a Casino restaurant, and a pizzeria that was six miles away. There was also gas station food. The place only offered a room with a refrigerator and a small microwave. The bathroom was clean, but I was surprised to see a sign that said, " Please hold the handle until the toilet flushes completely! THANKS. I have never had this sign at any hotel or motel before. They had a plastic packet for the shampoo and conditioner together. It did not tear easily and required me to cut it with scissors or bite it open. I ended up biting it open. They also provided a miniature soap about 1.25", .75", and .25". It seemed very small, but it worked. The shower was a step-in shower that was about 30" square. They do not have a bathtub if you are interested in that. I was looking for the thermostat, and when I saw it, it only seemed to set up to heat. Because we are up north, I knew at night it would cool down outside. The screen window was open and a box fan.

Fantastic deal with a beautiful view.

Every day one of the owners checked with us and offered their direct cell phone numbers in case of any concerns. I have serious bad issues and we slept very comfortably in the queen bed. No frills but a fantastic value. We definitely will go again. Beautiful view on Lake Superior.

8/10 Very good

Carla was very pleasant and the overnight was great for just 1 person. Too tight if my wife had been with me. It needs more TLC and general upkeep. I congratulate the owners for keeping it going, though in a tough economy. The next-door restaurant was closed, and none were right nearby. The view facing east across the bay was gorgeous and the price was good.

Carla was nice and worked with us through some issues, though the facility had a lot to be desired. There is no longer a restaurant and it’s a lot more outdated (at least what’s leftover from the fire) than expected. Not a bad place, though it was not what we were expecting.

The place was old. Pockets doors on the bathroom. Bathroom sink is tilted and toilet is loose on the floor. Mattresses sag in the middle. Tv placed above small table tilted downward…watch your head getting up! Ouch, more than once we bumped our heads and back room has a definite dip!
