Bad Axe Motel may not be a new modern establishment, but it's updated, very clean, comfortable beds, equipped kitchenette, in the country on a main road, & convenient location. With parking right in front of room door. I would absolutely stay again, and recommend it.

For a motel my partner and I had a pretty great experience! We were impressed by the nice and clean beds, kitchenette, and bathroom. We wish the water didn't smell like city water though, and the floors were swept but it seemed like they weren't mopped very well.

Unassuming property with quaint rooms and many amenities, including microwave, kitchen-style sink in room, fridge, DishTV, and even a hot plate and toaster! A pleasant surprise for the accommodation! Manager was very friendly and attentive, even walking guests to their rooms to ensure everything is proper when checking-in. Motel location is just outside of town, with access to various restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment.

The room was Sparkling clean. Beds were comfortable and made up excellently! Refrigerator, Microwave, Coffee pot (coffee, cream, sugar provided) were all in good working order and very clean. The kitchenware, plates, cups, silverware were also very clean. There is No Maid Service at this motel. Not a problem. Manager provided his number and any fresh towels, linens, soap, shampoo, dish washing liquid, coffee required were delivered on the spot. Kind of unique, but the system was run smoothly. Would stay there again. Very peaceful and quiet. No problems at all.
