Far from fancy, but We received what we paid for, Fancy no. Clean room, yes. View yes, if you do…read morenot get view, well did you book it in advance? Breakfast same as 1950's, really no breakfast as most Americans would like. No it is not a chain of hotels with irons, coffee pots, and all the amenities. Your not charged for them either. It is a clean, old fashion motel, and you can walk to town. It is not perfect, but will go back just to sit on balcony, relax. Because that is what I wanted. That is what was delivered. MY ROOM was clean, as was the other one we booked.

FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME…read more My family and I travel often, and never have we been treated with such abysmal customer service than we have at Algoma Beach Motel. We are respectful of shared spaces, clean up after ourselves, and aren't excessively active. We checked in around 4pm, got to our room, and immediately spent time at the beach. We stopped back at our room for about 10 minutes to change before dinner. We got back to the motel to settle in at around 8-830pm, and started to unpack our things and get ready to play a card game. Around 9pm, we received a call from the front desk stating that the downstairs folks complained that it sounds like "elephants" up here and we need to keep it down. We were just unpacking our things, nothing wild, but I answered with enthusiasm that I would let my kids and partner know to keep the noise down. 5 minutes later, the complainant from downstairs showed up at our door in anger, in front of our children, and wouldn't leave. He shoved his foot in the door so I couldn't shut it, and only backed away when my partner stepped up to the door. We thought that would be the end of it, but the hotel attempted to call again and left us a voicemail saying that we were now required to move rooms to the bottom floor. We specifically chose a second floor room for safety, as the bottom floor rooms have two doors that open directly to the outside, and I suggested that the people below us could move instead, but I was told "don't you try and argue with me, you either move rooms or check out tomorrow." We secured much more family-friendly lodging down the road.

Not bad for a small town library. There is a nice children's section as you enter. There are 4…read moreinternet pods and a book reference computer. They have a modest selection of popular magazines and news papers. There are several cases of DVDs but are in no particular order so you have to either browse the section or look it up on the reference computer to find what you're looking for. There is a fair selection of books in the library. They are also part of a network of libraries in NE Wisconsin so it is easy to get an inter-library loan. They also have free WIFI. They have free informational classes from time to time. You just need to sign up for them. The staff is friendly, helpful, and courteous.

They told me it would be a big job and they would be back first thing in the morning. 3 guys came, broke up the basement floor to get to the frozen pipe. After about 5 hours we had water.

We seek these dishes out when traveling in Florida. The dishes here were equal if not better. Cathy, the exceptional server who makes a fantastic old fashioned, laughed at how clean our plates were. We had never had tuna crudo or tomato burrata before but both dishes were equally pleasing. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area, or worth a trip if you're not.

All were full and was told that if we were to dine outside our meals would come out faster, but I would have to come back inside to place orders. Took a picture of the menu, which other than what the protein was did not go into a description or what would come with the entree. Came back in with orders and was first told need card to put on hold then said, maybe just charge for entire ticket might work best. So that is what I did. The card machine also asks for the tip up front as well. Meals come out fried fish platter for two, which I was told was better deal for our two folks than ordering each separately really didn't come out any different then what they were getting if single order. Seabass was maybe 4 inches by 4 inches in size and the grits were not creamy like you would expect, but clumpy. Asparagus was thinner than a pencil and tasteless. My granddaughter's steak looked okay, but she had to cut it with a plastic fork and knife as none was provided for any of us and meals all came out on paper plates. Everyone except for the seabass order came with fries and we had to ask for ketchup and a squirt was added to the paper plates. No one came around to see how we were enjoying our meals or if we need any refills (husband had to go in and get a glass bottle of tap water for the table.) If the staff would have come around and checked on us they would have gotten an earful. I get now why they want you to pay ahead of time and not at the end of service because no one will becoming around to check on you and they want their money up front. I would not have tipped generously for what we were served and how we were not checked up upon. This place to the locals may be a gem, but to folks on vacation wanting a great meal and overall experience it was not. Over priced, lack of service from staff, not so great food and lack of indoor seating. If I could it would have been no stars.

I love all the décor in here with the art on the walls (love those wood squirrels) to a surprising amount of vintage arcade games. A solid old fashion to start the meal after a long week.

Not the easiest to find, but worth it, if your looking for a fun place to have a drink. The atmosphere is a beach bar vibe with lots of cool funny stuff loaded on the walls and ceiling. Bartender was top notch! Georgie i think? Worked her butt off slinging food and drinks, yet had time to be friendly to customers. They're lucky to have her! Food was from average to good. The good was the cheeseburger. Came with cheese on both sides of the burger.. nice touch! I had the peach plate. That was okay, nothing special but wasn't displeased at all. Came with bread, fries and slaw. Prices where decent. The perch was $14, but you got a lot. Cheeseburger was $12 and came with fries.

You can rent unique, furnished apartments at The Haven right along Lake Michigan. The Haven is in walking distance to some of Algoma's great food and drink such as Skaliwags, Von Stiehl winery, and Ahnapee brewing. We stayed only one night in the two bedroom suite. It was fully furnished, including amenities and a fully equipped kitchen! We absolutely loved the decor and loved staying there. Sara was a wonderful host. We hope to return soon. PS - pet friendly!
