“Left immediately after checking-in.”

We visited Saugatuck for the weekend. The motel is old, not centrally located, and had questionable people staying there. The rooms were old (TV from the '70's, bathroom from the '60's), but generally clean. The pool and whirlpool were inoperable. Hotel staff didn't speak English well, which created problems when trying to resolve our concerns. We ended up leaving about 10 minutes after we arrived and stayed at The Pine Ridges Motel down the street. Even though the motel refused to refund our prepaid reservation, it was worth the extra money to stay elsewhere and feel safe and comfortable.

“Don't stay here if you like hot water showers”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2010

people found this review helpful

Upon arrival, the place looked OK. The pool was clean, and the hot tub almost warm. The rooms are not "retro" - they are very old and not updated in any way. Hot water faucet in bathroom did not work - didn't matter - there was no hot water in the morning anyway ! Wall paper pealing and dust was everywhere. Fake flowers full of dust, even the hangers were dusty !! Bathroom in severe need of repairs - caulk was not even installed properly, where they bothered to caulk. Outside noise not a problem cause the room A/C was so loud !!

Weekend of 4th July we stayed at the timberline Motel for the first time. I had very good experience. They have very good clean and deep pool and out door hot tub. Staff was very friendly and room was big and clean and looks like has been remodeled. Breakfast was not bad either, I have called other hotel to book the room and price was around $189 but timberline has lower than other hotel. I think price is not bad. I have read the other reviews but, I don’t find any problems.

“Do NOT stay here yuck”

The price was right and most of the other hotel were booked so we went with what I could find that was the right price.. we left to go down town and locked the door in fact we double checked that we did before we left.. we came back and our door was open!! nothing was missing but still was a bit strange.. The bed was pretty gross and the room stunk.. I would say the only thing good about it was the water pressure in the shower and the hot tub was ok.. I will never go back there again and I wanted to just leave that night and drive home because it was so bad plus the open door feaked me out!!
