If you're ever in the Alpena, Michigan area, consider the Big Bear Lodge. The motel is seventy years old, but very well maintained. Clean, quaint, and the owners are all you could ask for, kind and informative! In the lobby there are even paintings made by her! A great experience! The rooms are clean, and the beds are comfy! You're definitely going to want to make reservations as with anyplace that shines in what they do, you don't want to be taking chances that they're full up!
