My wife and I stayed here a few days when we visited Onaway. Our room was in good shape, new very comfortable beds and bedding, AC worked great (it was hot during our visit). Our room had a minifridge and microwave and k cup coffee maker. We brought our own cups, but there was coffee and creamers and sugar. The person cleaning rooms had a super sweet golden retriever, Macie, that was the defacto hotel greeter. It was quiet and we both slept great. Very nice restaurants within walking distance was a nice perk. The table was wobbly and the door didn't seal completely when closed. Have breakfast at the restaurant kitty corner from the hotel. It's awesome.
older property , very clean , affordable and staff was very friendly.
Awesome place staff super helpful.
Very nice, I had my crew in the area for a project and I have only good words about
Nice place to stay while visiting the area. Easy, clean and comfortable.
Very quiet and the beds were amazing. Best night sleep.
Clean rooms, nice hot water. Exactly what I expected for the price point. The self service check in was easy and convenient.
Affordable, clean, and easy check-in/out. My only issue was the bathroom window didn’t lock. That made me feel a little uneasy as I was staying there alone.
Clean, inexpensive, convenient. I don't know what else you can ask for.
2nd time I've stayed. Has everything I need, it's warm and cozy. Love how it's dog friendly. Walking distance to everything. Will stay again!
rooms are cozy and clean and we would stay here again!! easy self check-in/out and walking distance to everything in Onaway! ?
Little, but warm and clean, it's also nice and quiet. Would stay again!
Simple but clean! Great room for the price. We will definitely be back.
Second time staying here in the past few months. Once again, the room was clean and as I expected for the value. I definitely will book here again.
Nice cozy place for the night
Nice, small clean rooms. Exactly what I expected for the value. I definitely will book here again.
Was clean and prefect for our overnight stay.
Exactly what we needed. Clean, basic rooms at a great price to get some sleep while we were up north. Check in and out is extremely easy and trouble free. Will definitely be back.
Neat & Clean Room. Hassle free check in and Check out. Convienent location. Best value for the price.
This is actually a very nice little motel. The only reason I gave it 3 stars for service, is that it's pretty much self-service . Rooms are clean and very comfortable. I slept like a rock. While you're in town, stop in to Ma's Diner. You won't regret it!
Best part of the stay is that the hotel is pet friendly! Was so nice being able to bring our girl with us. Room was clean, nothing fancy but we weren't looking for anything but a clean, quiet stay and that's what we got.
Great place to stay. Clean.
Cute place.
Very satisfied with my stay. This is the type of place I prefer to stay at. I don't care for the chain hotels.
Love it this it was quite nice and very clean and peaceful.
Nice little northwoods motel would definitely stay again
Very clean, convenient room. Perfect price! If you’re making a quick stop or a little getaway to Onaway MI this is an excellent choice. The room is small but well equipped with everything you need ?
The room was clean and comfortable.
Clean and cute accommodations with a very reasonable price. Very few places allow dogs and I was traveling with 2 Bullmastiffs and a Japanese Chin - not easy to find a place that would accept them. When I come up here again I will definitely stay here.
I've stayed here many times, service, accommodations and location are great, the staff is extremely helpful!
Nice, clean, older motel.
Nice motel. Have stayed there 3 times now and it's always clean. Check in and check out is very easy and convenient. The house keeper was very nice and friendly.
Nice little room in Onaway. LOVE that it had a Roku and crisp AC!
The room was quiet, clean, and comfortable.
I’ve stayed here at Lyon’s for the past 4 months at weeks at a time for work nearby. The price is great for this area. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. That’s all I need. The staff is very friendly and ready to help when needed. Keep Smiling!
Very modest and clean. Very simple but small. Very comfortable and quiet. I liked the convience of registration and check-in, as well as , the simplicity of check-out. Location was central to the area as I was traveling with a Southern Gospel singing group and performed at several churches in the region. I highly recommend the motel.
Nice place to stay and a great rate. Close to the few restaurants in the small town. Room was a bit dated but had all the amenities, clean, and great hot water. Other hotels in the area would be $200ish. Easy in and out using text messaging and electronic combination.
Room could use s love seat or recliner
Good bargain for the money. The only issue we had, was the electrical outlet behind the nightstand needs to be replaced, because my plug to my sleep machine wouldn’t stay in it. May want to consider replacing with a AC/USB faceplate, as most folks like to charge their phones next to the bed. I will definitely be staying again.
Not beautiful. It was clean and had everything I needed. Bedding, towels, refrigerator, microwave, soap, and a small coffee maker. It was a good price and was super easy to get in and out. I will definitely be staying here again if I'm in the area.
I needed overnight accommodations and was happy to find a place under the "tourist season" rate of $200.00!
Had a very nice stay! Was there 4 nights to attend an event nearby! Quite happy with the accommodations!

We stayed there for two nights. It was very clean hardly any noise from the road. Would stay there again.
no complaints.
El motel está súper bien Limpieza buena tanto en el baño como en la habitación Las sábanas y toallas en buen estado y según mi olfato estaban limpias a simple vista no se ve ya que son de color café pero si estaban limpias Al entrar a la habitación nada de ir a la recepción te mandan un código por mensaje para que llegues y te instales Este tipo de hospedaje solo lo he visto en Europa Cuenta con horno de microondas, Nevera , cafetera Y te ponen un rico cafecito así como unas deliciosas galletas para el desayuno Por desgracia no llegaron a mi desayuno las comí antes ? También te ponen agua y palomitas Me encanto la habitación al estilo rústico
(Translated by Google) The motel is super good Good cleaning both in the bathroom and in the room The sheets and towels are in good condition and according to my sense of smell they were clean with the naked eye it is not visible since they are brown in color but they were clean When entering the room, no need to go to the reception, they send you a code by message so that you can arrive and settle I have only seen this type of accommodation in Europe It has a microwave oven, Refrigerator, coffee maker And they give you a delicious coffee as well as some delicious cookies for breakfast Unfortunately they didn't make it to my breakfast, I ate them before ? They also give you water and popcorn I loved the rustic style room.

We use this motel to stay as we are in the process of working on our own place. It's great to have a place right in town not far from any food or grocery that we may need that also doesn't break the bank. Any issues or concerns I've had have always been addressed and I would continue to use this motel for future stays.
I've never stayed at a Motel before but needed a cheap place to stay after visiting Ocqueoc Falls. It was clean and cute! The only negative is that the fridge did not work and the air didn't seem to work well. But for $100 for the night, it exceeded expectations!
So I want to try n help clear up some of these nasty roomers! First and most importantly they're r no bugs except those that r out side! This place is still very clean and quiet! Yes, it does need work but nothing is really falling apart it's just older and I'm told they are getting ready to updated the place this year. No you can't talk to anyone on phone there but once you get there a person is on the property and helping in any way he can! I must say they go out of their way! Very nice and pleasant. This is my third return there in three years and I'm never disappointed. We will be back and I'm excited to see what's new changes the new owner will bring. I hope that helps some of you who think elsewise about this property. However down the road from them there is another motel I would never stay at! Js
Very clean and comfortable as d. Very hands off with only on-line registration. Credit card was charged immediately. K-cup coffee maker but only flavored coffee. Yuk! Gas station is close by. Shower is quite small so you will not fall down. Just don't drop the soap. Shower head is quite high with works well for me at 6 ft 6 inches. Bring your own shampoo. Keypads on doors are quite dark until you hit the first number. Use your flashlight on your phone or your headlights after dark. I don't recall getting the wi-fi password but knew it from previous visits. The room was quite cool when I arrived but a space heater was provided. This worked very well to heat the room in short order to a comfortable level. I could turn it off when gone. Entry rug is quite small. I hate to make a mess and would have appreciated at least a small whisk broom and pan to capture any wayward snow. Maybe a runner across the front wall between the door and the chair? Room 12
Very clean rooms
Very well Maintained.
Great staff very friendly and helpful awesome wood in the room will definitely be back
We found this Establishment after an evening of bad luck, and the rooms were clean and well maintain3d for the most part. The Attendant was very pleasant to talk to, and was a great resource for tips about where to eat and whatnot. All the beds are size full beds, but they're very comfortable, and there is WiFi. Overall I would absolutely suggest Lyon's Motel to travelers in the future.
Good motel. Just way to much light through the back wondows.couldnt sleep. Pillows to thin
If you are near Onoway and looking for a place to stay, this is your answer! I'm very picky on where I stay, and I'm already planning a return trip. The rooms are small, but they are very clean and comfortable. Staff welcome us like family and was very responsive.
Clean affordable and easy check in . Friendly staff!
Nice place! Well kept and very clean and quiet.
Nice place to stay
Good service with nice rooms. Slept great, only complaint is the lack of pizza places.
Very cute motel. Love that it is a family owned motel. Very clean,beds were comfy.I will definitely stay here again when we come up this way.
Great owners, live this place, child up fast, I need to be faster, lol Loved it there
Very well priced. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Would stay there again without hesitation.
The owner is really nice, clean room, comfortable bed. The only downside might be the soap/ shampoo.
Clean and cozy.Friendly.We use the Motel as our base (we don't camp anymore)to visit family campers and do day trips to Macinaw and Lake Michigan.Comfy beds.?
Friendly service. Clean rooms with good setup. I quite enjoyed myself. Thank you!
I can not say enough how wonderful the owner was to us. She was so accommodating, friendly, great customer service, and the list goes on. The room was clean and I did sleep sound. Thank you for everything.
Great place to stay! Very clean.
Small motel with clean rooms and at an affordable rate. Perfect for weary travelers. We stayed at this hotel based on a recommendation from our waitress at 211 Bar & Grill. We have stayed here twice. Owner was very pleasant and friendly.
Motel was nice and clean. Beds are very comfortable. The owner Jess is a sweetheart.
Comfortable, clean, and affordable. Highly recommend. Friendly and welcoming staff. A++
My first time. Very clean. Very convenient for our hunting season needs. Owner is very nice and easy going.
Nice little place, comfortable, and cozy
We love this place!
Very cute, nicely redone motel. It was clean and we enjoyed our stay. The owner was very nice as well!
Good price . Clean. You get what you pay for.
We stayed at the Lyons motel last weekend. It was a great little place! Very clean! I would recommend this place and stay there again. The owner Jesse was AMAZING! She was so friendly. We cannot wait to stay there again!
Jess..the owner makes you feel like family...even had toys for the grandkids to play with. Rooms very clean..walking distance to a great local restaurant Woodwinds. Small and quaint...loved it ..so did my grandkids..this will always be our go to when we visit Northern Michigan
Traveling through this area and our waitress referred us to this hotel. It was after 10:00 at night when we arrived. We had a room with two double beds. The room was clean. We couldn't find ice, but otherwise it was a nice room for two weary travelers.
It was a nice little local motel. Met our needs nicely.
Very clean rooms and great pricing!
Good
Nice stay! 7th year in row.
Spent a night friendly host running it they had good recommendation on where to get a good dinner.room was comfortable shower small but good. Slept great so bed must of been okay. Had a TV. All the basics
Awesome place to stay Jess is awesome never a problem when staying there
We reserved our room based on the reviews and was scared of what we we’re gonna see for $50. Wow, room was clean, didn’t smell and came with a fridge. We are use to sleeping in a king size bed and room has a full size, was a challenge for us, but we made it through. The lady in office was very nice. I gave it 4 stars because after we got back to room after we left the speedway at 11pm, we had no parking place, was stuck next to the trash cans. There was 17 vehicles total, including us, for 13 rooms. They should have assigned spots for each room which would avoid that.
This is a beautiful place log style motel... we booked through miss jessie.. She is more than helpful!!! Her helpfulness .makes this place special.. restaurant is walking distance .. We were able to plug the bass boat in at night.. if u come this is a great place to stay, please understand this is a small town motel. Not a room in bay harbor..
Thank you for the wonderful CLEAN ROOM AND SERVICE!!
Jessie is awesome. We traveled to Onaway kind of last minute for a funeral during Thanksgiving week. We got a double room for a super great rate. The place is CLEAN and COMFORTABLE. We liked the beds so much we each took one for ourselves and slept sprawled out like starfish. She even allowed our dog there and he would hog one of the beds of one of us dared to move. We arrived later than we thought and Jessie worked with us. She's super friendly. Gas, groceries and just about anything else you could need is less than five minutes away or even walking distance (if it's not 13 degrees out like when we were there). There's a good restaurant across the street. We're glad we found this little gem and when we go back to Onaway, we'll be sure to stay there again.
Nice place
Very nice place to stay!
Nice clean rooms and beds..
Nice and cozy, with a very reasonable price! Plus the staff is extremely nice and friendly... definitely recommend! Some rooms have new flat screens that connect to wifi, so if you have Netflix remember to bring your sign-in info
Good price, clean and the internet works - all that is needed for an evening stay, thank you!
My family and I stayed here the first week of September and it was absolutely wonderful. The owner is so nice and pleasant and housekeeping was awesome! The rooms are small and quaint and it was so peaceful. Will definitely stay here again if we ever make it back. Jessie, Thanks again!
Very accommodating! We called ahead to let them know about our late arrival. The lights were on and the room was warm! Clean and odor free. Would be nice if they changed out the full size beds for queen size and got new pillows.
Convenient, clean, comfortable. Great staff.
Every nice guy Matt explained everything to us
Nice motel at a great price. Rooms are clean. Friendly service. WiFi is a bit sketchy.
We spent one night at the Lyons Motel on a bike trip from Cheboygan to Alpena. The motel was very comfortable and clean. The woman in the office was friendly and helpful. Walking distance to several restaurants and Awakon Park (which is worth a visit).
Rooms are old style and small by today's standards but if you are looking for somewhere to hang your hat for couple days, it can't be beat. Best Motel in Town !!!! Owner and Staff were excellent. Room and grounds clean. Buildings and rooms in decent repair. Zero complaints other than small rooms but they cannot do anything about that. Would stay again and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone staying in the area.
This is a small town motel. It is clean and inexpensive. It is close to a great restaurant, and only a few miles from Black Lake State Park. There are no extras, no in room phones, no ice machine, and no morning breakfast. But the owner is very accommodating.
Loved it my wife and I stayed there about 5 day's ago
Ended up needing last minute lodging at 9 pm on a Friday night in the middle of deer season! Was about 25 minutes away, called up and asked if they had a double room and she had 1. They held it for us and even saved it when someone else showed up a few minutes before us looking for a double room. We were so grateful and thankful. Room was clean and warm. Very budget friendly w/ wifi. Perfect for our brief overnight stay.
I stay here 2 to 3 times a year and love the cleanliness of the rooms, the rates you can't beat, and very comfortable beds. To top it off the owner is very nice. I won't stay anywhere else when I am in the area!
Very clean, newly remodeled in every room. The owner is very friendly with very reasonable rates. Stayed to be close to Black Lake Golf Club for our Friday outing. Will be back again. Rooms feature a flat screen tv, totally remodeled bathrooms, new bed sheets, and the list goes on. Gotta stay at Lyon's if you are traveling to Northern East side of the mitt if Michigan.
We stayed here during a local dog competition. They are pet friendly and there is a field close by to exercise your dogs. The room was clean and included a refrigerator but not a microwave. The bathroom was small but very clean. There are several restaurants very close to the motel. The lady that runs the motel is very nice and accommodating. This motel met my needs and I would stay here again.
I have been going here since I was a child. I have always loved it.
We checked in at 8 pm. The room was very nice. Recently remodeled with a lot of knotty pine and bead board paneling. The bathroom was a little tight but it worked. The shower, sink and toilet look to be brand new. The tile floor looks great too. The water pressure was extreme. The bedding was fresh and clean and also looks to be new. Very comfortable bed. The window ac works well. They have a flat panel tv with cable. Free wifi as well. We took the queen bed but they also have rooms with two beds. (I think the rooms with two beds were a couple dollars more.) All for only $45 on memorial day weekend. (Sunday night.) I highly recommend this motel. I'm glad I didn't read the 4 year old review before stopping.
Right downtown. Close to fuel, food and shopping. Had a room with a single full size bed which was just a little short for my 6'5" frame but the shower was plenty high. I did not have to stoop down like I do in most motels. Very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Wi-fi allowed me to download some photos which I could not do with my poor internet connection up there. Good selection of television channels. Would definitely keep this at the top of my list when looking for a place to stay in town.
We have an annual family reunion near Onaway and have stayed at two motels in the area. As far as we are concerned we would only stay at the Lyons in this area. As you might expect for a small northern Michigan town, the rooms are small and efficient, but they are extremely clean and tidy. When we stayed at a different place my wife wouldn't even put her bare feet on the floor; the Lyons was no problem at all. The proprietors are very nice, friendly, accomodating, and know just about everyone in the area. You will be pleased you chose the Lyons.
