The Foothills Cafe & Motel

"Me and two of my friends stayed here for a girls weekend. The motel was perfect for us and staff was extremely helpful with getting us anything we needed (ice, extra towels, hair dryer) ! If we’re ever back in the area, we would definitely stay here again ¨̮"

"The room was great and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The walls were a tad thin but we were only there for 2 nights, we basically were only there to sleep. Their website states that there isn't air conditioning but there is, which is a huge bonus. Keep in mind that there is not in room refrigerators - there is a communal mini fridge in the office. No in room coffee either. Breakfast was not free, like it..."

"Very nice motel for the price. Rooms are a decent size, and newly renovated which was a nice surprise. Room was clean & the owners were able to accommodate our late arrival (even though we forgot to call until the day of). The cafe was amazing and so quaint. We came in a rainy day and the vibes were amazing. Our server was very lovely & all of the staff were very nice. Ordered the eggs benedict & they were..."

"Such a great place! The owners are so kind. Rooms were nice and very clean . We went to the cafe for breakfast and food was delicious."

"This is a solid little motel if you're interested in seeing the dunes, or you just wanna get away from the big cities down state. It's basic, but it's a well run family business. I always had new towels and my trash picked up daily from my room. The café is open Wednesday to Sunday, and it always has a crowd for good reason. I recommend an omelet, because it's cooked perfectly, or pancakes with cherries because they're fluffy and..."

"Such a great motel for our 2 night stay! The owners are extremely friendly and accomodating. No AC but a fan is provided and there was a lovely breeze coming through the windows for our stay. They were also very helpful with storing our cold food. Overall very quiet place in a great location. 15-20 minutes to the sand dunes in one direction and 30 minutes to get to the city."

"We enjoyed a terrific breakfast this morning at this quiet little cafe! Delicious, cooked to perfection and great service with a warm smile. Enjoy the bird feeder while dining. Whether it’s a cup of coffee or a meal, it’s a great spot. Next trip we will check out their rooms and stay here while we enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes."

"Clean!! I honestly didn't know what to expect, I haven't stayed in a motel since the 90s and back then it wasn't a great experience. Foothill motel exceeded my expectations. It was cleaner than all the big hotels I've stayed in recently for work and yet it still has a family owned charm to it. We'll definitely be back, thanks so much for having us!"
