No closet to hang clothes. Desperate need of new mattress and bedding, but no bed bugs. Walls in need of repair. To pay high prices the rooms should be in much better condition.It was nice to be about two blocks away from the lake. There is a small cafe that backs up to the small parking lot. Food was ok there.Safety: Felt safe in this neighborhood.Walkability: Short walk to a restaurant and other shops. Several blocks from the lake but it's through a neighborhood with sidewalks.

I am an infrequent regular here for many years, seems that everytime I come the establishment is under new management. Motel is mostly updated, only issue is that the toilets are really small and hard to use. Good thing is it's next door to the best diner in town and a good gas station. Service is always good.

Great location only 2 blocks from the beach. Friendly staff. Cleanest place we stayed on our whole vacation. Yes, it’s an old motel but it is being updated and it’s very comfortable. I’ll stay there again.

Another wonderful stay at the well-maintained and conveniently located Griwsold's Lodge. The place was clean, price was fair and it's just a short walk from dining, and two fascinating museums. The "unofficial" museum - Stubb's - is an important stop in Ontonogan. Griswold's is highly recommended.Nearby activities: Syl's restaurant and bakery is awesome! Roxy's bar is a great place for dinner and a drink and, as for Stubb's, you really need to see it with your own eyes.

Centrally located in town for easy access to restaurants, clean room, and able to bring our dog. Short drive to the Porkies made for a fun few days.

We loved our 4 night stay at Griswold's Lodge. We stayed in the apartment and loved the space it provided and how clean it was. We were able to cook in the kitchen and enjoyed having a full size refrigerator with freezer to store our ice packs and pasties that we bought to freeze and bring home. Secure internet and tv with lots of channels was a bonus although we didn't utilize the TV much since we were there to enjoy the awesome fall colors and sights around the UP. It is in a convenient location and right around the corner is our favorite restaurant, Syl's. We would definitely stay again when we are back to the area and highly recommend to others.

What can I say but to say the truth. We thought we were getting a great room because of the huge amount of $$ for the room. We had a small room with two very old well used beds. I slept terribly. The whole room was old and dumpy. It all matches at least. Mold in the bathroom tub under the caulking which was an inch wide. Bath fan so noisy I hated to turn on the light. No hot water first morning. No coffee pot or anything you expect in any room. Look before you stay here is all I can say. Never going back.

Very nice, clean, basic motel. One block from downtown, two or three blocks to the beach and river. Motel is a nice layout with a charming balcony with flowers. Receptionist was very nice. Will stay again. Bathroom fan was a little loud, otherwise would be all five stars.

We recently spent a few nights at Griswold's Lodge. We stayed in the Airbnb. It had 2 comfortable bedrooms, a full kitchen and the bathroom with a tub/shower. It was very comfortable, clean and quiet. The hosts were very nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

We got rained out on our grouse hunting trip and Griswold’s Lodge was the perfect place to recharge for the night. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Service was very friendly including the cute dog. Thanks!

A wonderful place to stay in Ontonagon when traveling to hike the Porcupine Mountains!! Could not recommend the location more, it was in town and easy to walk to anything (restaurants, bars, shops). The hotel is also dog friendly which is great for those traveling with their four legged friends. We came to find out that the Lodge is actually named after the owners dog Griswold - so cute! We drove to the Porcupine mountains and it isn't a terribly far drive at all. The staff was so friendly and kind, they provided recommendations of where to go and what to eat while enjoying our stay which is always appreciated. As a newer location to stay in Ontonagon I can attest that this is a lovely spot and somewhere I would absolutely recommend my friends stay in. Thanks for such a fantastic experience!
