What guests think

Reviews of The Monarch Motel describe an older roadside stay with simple, themed rooms and a convenient location near downtown Cheboygan and area attractions, offering solid value for a short stop in the region.

Many guests praise very clean rooms and easy self check-in, with staff often described as responsive, kind, and helpful. Rooms are small and modest; many found beds comfortable and the setting quiet, though some reported road noise. A few noted sagging mattresses, dated or compact bathrooms, occasional Wi‑Fi issues, and basic facilities; parking is generally available, though one guest couldn’t find an ice machine and another found spots tight. Overall, expect a simple, tidy, budget‑friendly base for short stays.

We really enjoyed our week-long stay in this charming motel. The owner is very responsive to needs and the room was great. Nicely decorated, very convenient, lots of parking, near to many attractions in the area. The bed was comfortable, the room is air conditioned and very nice.

We got to our room before 9pm but the receptionist was already gone for the day and the office was closed. While we left the door to our room open for the few minutes it took us to bring in our luggage, a million mosquitos got into our room and bit us all night. The microwave in our room didn't work, and when we called the phone number that was provided to us (on a piece of paper taped to the door of the reception office), no one picked up or every called us back. We did not find an ice machine on the property either. It was a small bed and a small room overall, not close by to anything really. It's fine in a pinch, but just know that you'll be left on your own. The reception office was still not open the next morning, and we left after 8am. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the reception office to be open by that hour.

The parking was cramped at the room where we were but we have a pickup truck so that's the issue there. The hosts were very congenial and knowledgeable. Recommended several options for breakfast. Close to the park on the lake where we go to watch for freighters and eat our supper.

My immediate response as I walked into the room was "cute"! Pillow shams on queen-sized pillows, decorative pictures that were obviously chosen with care, and a macrame mirror in the bathroom. Those are what come to mind immediately. Very clean. A real bargain for being the least expensive hotel in Cheboygan! We'll come back!

I'm so excited we chose to stay here. Not only was the price point solid, but the quality of our stay was wonderful and left us well rested. The bed was super comfortable, showers were hot with great water pressure, it was quiet early in the night even with it on a main road, clean and well cared for, and the location was perfect for getting around. We even ran late and the front desk had a plan in case we missed them to check in. Will absolutely stay again.

Nice, clean room. Overall we were very happy with it. Pros: Price, A/C, Fridge, clean, quiet, nice location, bed was pretty comfortable, nicely decorated, easy check in and out. Cons: toilet was small, shower in the room we had could use an update but it was very clean, I wish the wifi password was posted in the room.

Mattress quality should be better (or replaced more often because of saggyness). It might be helpful if owners spent a night in the room to see the space limitations. Very clean though.

Convenient to downtown Cheboygan, parks, the waterfront, and the North Central State Trail, with short drives to Mackinaw City and area sights. On a main road, so some traffic noise occurs, though many found it quiet.

The owner/mgr Linda is absolutely AMAZING!!! My wife, our son, and I am so greatful for the peacefulness, safety, cleanliness and her undying care and concern for her clients. Linda is wonderful. The place is great. Family friendly. Near the beach. Near a wonderful restaurant. I highly recommended staying at this motel. And i suggest booking directly thru the Monach vs booking thru a 3rd party. It will be cheaper and Linda will work with Vets. Thankyou so much, Linda. We will def be returning!!!

The Monarch was just what I was looking for. The room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, the location was a close drive to downtown Cheboygan and the waterfront, and the AC kept me cool in the middle of a heat wave. Especially appreciated was Linda's kind customer service. I will plan to book the Monarch again on my next Cheboygan visit.
