Before the development of the motel chains, family business entrepreneurs built and operated clean, comfortable, convenient, and affordable travel accommodations for touring families and traveling business people. The quality of these varied, but a few distinguished themselves in their consistent excellence and high value for price. The Star Motel is one of this select group. Its furnishings are complete and... More

We always stay here when traveling between MI and MN. The Star is always clean and you are greeted by the owner or his Mom. We've traveled this area for forty years, and although it is an older dated establishment, we prefer it to all of the other motels in Manistique. And, it is the only motel on the lake.

We usually stay at another motel in Manistique, but we wanted to try something different. We were really pleased with The Star Motel. The woman that checked us in was very nice. You park right at your door. The room is very clean. The furniture is a little dated, but that is part of the charm. This is the perfect... More

If you are looking for a clean, quiet and inexpensive motel on US-2, Star Motel will fit the bill. 1960s charm abounds with the blonde wood furniture and vintage neon sign, and you can't beat waking up to the Lake Michigan shoreline. Like-new shower/tub. Will definitely stay here again.

Like everyone else says here - you get a very clean, comfortable room in a convenient and attractive location. Not the most up-to-date furnishings - but by design, it's a fifties-era motel kept up to date. The bed is comfortable and the rates are great, we had a clean quiet and pleasant stay. Would definitely go back.

I have stayed in Manistique many times ( national chains hotels, all over priced) . Star Motel is clean, great rate, and just fine. No frills, just dated in time. Walk to Lake Michigan in the back yard. Friendly owners, fridge in room, great value. I will stay again. Just give them a try.

The decor is straight out of the 1950s. The rooms are clean, bright and comfortable and the price is right. This is a good place to stay for a night while you're on your way to someplace else or good place to stay for a few days if you want to explore the lake. Rooms have refrigerators and a good... More

If you are looking to stay in Manistique on the shores of lake Michigan, this is the place. You can walk to the shore. It is an older establishment with dated furnishings but is exceptionally clean and well maintained. The room has a ceiling fan, A/C, a refrigerator, cable TV, and free wifi. Free coffee in the lobby every morning.... More
