The Star Motel is a great find! Cheap rates and beautiful views. Lots of room to stretch out in. The owner was friendly and efficient. All the comfort you could ask for on the way north! Towels are skimpy but that seems insignificant. We will stop there again.

We spent one night here. Our room, # 17, was big, warm, and very clean. It had large clean windows in back with a view out to Lake Michigan, which was nice. The owner lady was helpful with restaurant suggestions (3 Mile Supper Club was our choice.) After seeing some of the other motel choices in Manistique, we were pleased... More

Manistique seems to be a sort of middle Upper Peninsula place to fuel up or lay over on trips. We typically stay at chain motels because of a few awful stays at older motels in other towns. We decided to try the Star Motel based upon reviews here, and we're happy with our choice. The motel is on the beach... More

I spent a little over a week in the UP on this trip going from end to end. This was one of the best motels I stayed at the whole time. The price was very reasonable and the room was very large, which felt strange for one person. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Glad... More

Spotless and well maintained older facility in a wonderful location. Rooms are large with a great view of Lake Michigan. The price cannot be beat. Only (very minor) issue was that the room took a long time to warm up even with the heat on max, but we stayed on a cold, blustery day. Will stay here again without a... More

We have stayed in 3 other motels in Manistique and the Star was by far The absolutely best one and will be the only ONE we will stay in when we go back to Manistique. We had picked this one out of the blue to stay in, knowing what several other ones were like, choose the star. We had excellent... More

Based on Tripadvisor reviews, we booked our stay at the Star. It's name fits the accommodations. We have stayed at other locations in Manistique and this one tops them all. Spacious rooms....extremely clean.....a home away from home. Magnificent lake views and private beach access. My husband has fished for years in this area and will definitely return for future fishing... More

Based on the overall positive reviews we tried the Star Motel last week and the review were right on spot. An older motel but clean and easy to find. Microwave Oven and Fridge. WiFi was good (and free). Everyone we came in contact with was very nice. Bonus was Casino dollars offered each guest. If you don't have a preference... More

My wife and I stayed at the Star for the first time last week based on all the great reviews here, and I have to say, trip advisor did not steer us wrong. We were on our way to Mackinac Island where we spent the next few days at the Grand Hotel. We love the Grand, and have stayed there... More
