Reserve a Munising bayside motel stay on Lake Superior
From, room for two$4003 nights · from $200 per personNot included: taxes, bridge toll, park pass and meals.
A Munising bayside motel stay puts you on the shore of Munising Bay, with the Pictured Rocks cliffs a short drive east of town. Three nights at a Lake Superior bayside motel with a front desk of its own is the plan our office sets up here: we ask whether a room is open in your month and send one written quote you can weigh before deciding anything.
Munising lies in the 46 degree band of our catalog, past the halfway line at 46.42 degrees north. You drive up over the Mackinac Bridge, register at the motel desk and pay the motel directly. Planning costs you nothing, and nothing is held until you answer the quote in writing.
Painted sandstone cliffs and the falls
Munising sits on its own bay of Lake Superior, and the bay lies in front of the motel. The banded orange and white sandstone in the picture at the top belongs to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, whose cliffs run east of town. Miners Castle, a sandstone formation standing above the lake.
Waterfalls are the other reason to come. Munising Falls is reached from a lakeshore trailhead, and Wagner Falls and Alger Falls both sit just outside town, close enough to fit around a slow morning.

Lake Superior motel by Munising Bay
The lodging is a Lake Superior bayside motel with its own front desk, where you sign in when you arrive; the picture beside shows a lodging of this kind. Its name stays off this page and appears in the quote we send you. The figure covers the room for two for the three nights at the motel's rate for the month.
Three nights plus the lakeshore pass
Three nights in the room for two start from $400, or from $200 per person. Behind that sits a working rate starting from $133 a night for a room for two in November 2026, taken from a public travel website. No mandatory nightly fee is listed there, so the room rate is the whole of the figure.
Left out of the figure: Michigan's 6% use tax plus whatever room tax Alger County charges, the Mackinac Bridge toll of $4.00 per car each way, the National Lakeshore vehicle pass at $25 for 1 to 7 days, and your fuel and meals. Once the motel prices your nights, that price takes the place of our working rate and may come out above or below it. Our method for every number is laid out on our pricing page.

July peak, snow by late November
May to early November is when Munising gets planned. Mid November through April is snow season on this shore, so the office leaves those months off the calendar for this stay. July is the high month, and its nights run above the November working rate, so a summer quote will usually come in higher than the figure on this page.
Motel named once you have the quote
On the quote you will find the motel by name, a description of the room, the rate for your nights and the taxes the motel will add. The motel's own cancellation terms are set out there too, since those belong to the motel. Nothing is reserved while you read it. Only after your written yes do we ask the motel to set the room aside for you.
Over the bridge to Munising Bay
Southfield to Munising Bay is a computed route of 399 road miles, about 7 hr 19 min without stops; plan on more time for breaks along the way. On the ladder Munising stands 271 miles north of the office in a straight north line, at 46.42 degrees north. The route crosses the Mackinac Bridge, where the toll of $4 per car each way is paid at the bridge.
Munising dates across the bridge
Tell us the month, how many nights and how many adults are coming, and we will check the motel and write your quote. Allow up to four phone hours for a reply to anything you send in writing, counted only while the phone is staffed.
