Bell's Melody Motel Kendra from Ypsilanti stayed in July 2024

I actually stayed at Sunrise Beach one of the 4 properties they own I believe. I would recommend Sunrise over Bell's Melody. Sunrise Beach is lake side, with bridge view, has a nice sandy beach with fire pits in front of the ground level rooms. The room was clean, up to date, microwave, fridge, coffee, I had a balcony which was nice. The pool needs renovation on the property but the smaller one next door was nice to use. The staff was exceptional in assisting with anything wrong. Tracey was the best, very helpful she made sure everyone was taken care of and helped our family have the best vacation possible. House keeping is lacking a bit but we made due after a sand in the bed incident. I would recommend Sunrise Beach and I would stay there again for sure.

We were grateful for the lower cost option for accommodation during our trip to mackinaw. The beds were clean, the view out the sliding glass doors spectacular, the water real hot for showers. The motel staff person was nice and helpful.

Bell's Melody Motel Andrew from Robbinsdale stayed in July 2017

We actually were switched to the Northwinds Motel because our room at the Bell's Melody wasn't ready when we checked-in. The Northwinds Motel room was spacious and, though outdated, had what we needed. The proximity to the beach was outstanding. To be able to use other indoor waterparks at other hotels was a huge benefit. Our main issues were that the website was out of date. Some of the amenities listed were no longer provided such as free firewood and cereal at breakfast. Overall, it was a nice place to stay at a great value.

Bell's Melody Motel Marsha from Mayville stayed in June 2017

The bath tub needed to have gripper in the tub because it was very slippery getting in and out of the tub. Other than that it was a nice room the beds were very comfortable. and the view of the Mackinaw bridge was great.

Bell's Melody Motel Douglas from Bad Axe stayed in June 2017

The only thing that was not as planned was that Bell's Melody was closed, but the owner transferred us to a room at the Sunrise Motel next door. The room was fine, and the entire stay of three days was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and as a matter of fact, we're coming back next week to visit again.

Bell's Melody Motel Leo from West Chicago stayed in June 2022

If you want to sleep only then it your place. Very small rooms and bathrooms were too small. Didn’t fit in shower space. Shower head way too low.
