Model Towne Inn

The most accommodating hotel I have ever stayed at. Both of the check-in ladies went out of their way to make our two nights as comfortable as possible. The ‘apartment’ was spacious, clean and had everything I could have possibly needed. Would I stay there again? You betcha!

We were looking for a place near Munising,Mi but a bit off the beaten track the night before we were to do a ferry trip and bus tour on Grand Island in Munising, MI and found this quaint little place in Gwinn, Mi about 45 minutes from Munising. In talking to the owners the place is completely remodeled, with a nice little continental breakfast. The beds were comfortable, the place is very clean. For you snowmobile-rs or all terrain vehicle users, this hotel has trails to the east, west, north and south. We ran into a noisy a/c unit which was promptly handled with a fan, until it could get fixed. I would recommend this place to anyone and the owners Kevin and Sherri were always nearby. Was our first trip to the UP in years. Sincerely, Ernie and Michelle Ziroll

I stayed here on my wedding night the other day and this was the worst experience ive ever had at a hotel... We made a small mess on the patio that I offered multiple times to clean up and they told me everything was fine and then all of a sudden it wasnt and then it was fine again. We got gravy from the wedding food on a table outside and the pavement that I offered to come back and clean with a pressure washer, but they assured me it was fine. And then continued to complain about it. Then they lied to us and said the room next to us broke the heat register off the wall (we knew the people.) So they said they had to charge them $200 dollars for it. Instead they attempted to charge my card $250 that declined then when the people called the hotel about it, the mangaer of the hotel lied to them again and said the reason that they charged them $250 is becausw we were throwing gravy around on camera?!?! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT VIDEO!!! IF i had half the nerve id call the cops. Mark my words. Stay far way from this place. Who treats someone like that on their wedding night?

Another nice experience at the Model Towne Inn. They have updated much of the furnishings and bedding. They also are now open all year round and take their own reservations - so, if you want their best room rates, book directly with them. They offer a continental breakfast every morning - Plenty of fresh pastries, coffee, cereal, yogurt and other goodies! There are also several small family owned restaurants nearby that offer good food at reasonable prices. The Model Towne does allow pets, but you need to make sure you reserve a pet room ahead of time - they only allow pets in certain rooms. They also have a large patio with fire pits and have firewood available. Overall, a nice place to stay in the Gwinn/Sawyer area.
