    Nice place to stay. Outside gave a beachy feel. Inside, the room needed updated but it's clean. Nothing fancy. Room smelled like smoke to start. Opened window to let fresh air in and smell got better. Linens, bathroom, and towels were clean. There is cable TV and free wifi. Owner is great, really nice. I would recommend this place for the value. If you need a place to sleep and a hot shower, this is it. You can see the big lake from the parking lot. The lake is across a busy road and there is a city park and mini golf on the lake side.

    As far as I'm concerned this is the best place to stay while in Alpena hands down. Very clean. Comfy beds. Excellent location. The owner is also very nice. This is where I stay whenever I go to Alpena.

    Price can’t be beat. All the amenities plus good internet connection. Right across from a park and Lake Huron. We walked across the street to a nice Mexican restaurant and ate on the covered rear deck watching a thunderstorm pass through.

    My husband and I stayed at 40 Winks for a long weekend over the Fourth of July, and chose 40 Winks based on the good reviews we found. We were not disappointed! We booked a suite and were completely satisfied. It was clean and comfortable, recently updated and nicely decorated. We loved having the kitchen, which saved money on dining out. We really enjoyed being right across the street from the beautiful Starlite Beach, and what fun it was to simply sit in our lawn chairs near the motel driveway to watch Alpena's wonderful fireworks show! We'll definitely look up 40 Winks again on a future trip to Alpena.

    The room is a four star. The owners put a lot of work into these rooms. So many awesome added details. By far one of the best places I have ever stayed.

  • 5/5 Scott A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good American motel, the way they used to be. Very comfortable. Regret I could only stay one night due to travel schedule but will return again.

  • 4/5 Dale M. 1 year ago on Google
    We stay here every time we come through Alpena. Management is friendly. The room this time was newly remodeled.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    30+ years in the hotel business and this is my goto spot when I’m in town. Clean and well appointed rooms. Owner Kris takes pride in her hotel and the community. Always a great stay! Anyone who says something negative about this place is just trying to scam one of Alpena’s gems.

    I can't wait until the staff goes back to regular room service. The view is worth only so much. Regular pickup/drop off of linen would be nice.

    BEWARE OF THEIR CANCELLATION POLICY We called on JUNE 15th to cancel our UPCOMING RESERVATION IN AUGUST and were told that we could only get HALF of our $1200.00 bill back. We are also contacting the Better Business Bureaus of Michigan.

    Rooms, though updated, are clearly a motel. Mattresses are mediocre. Staff were prompt and accommodating but unwelcoming. Amazing location right across from the beach.

  • 5/5 Mike P. 2 years ago on Google
    The mattress was extremely comfortable. The room was very nice and reasonable size. The shower was new with a very short step maybe 2" and it had a seat built in. Location maybe 200 yards to the lake.

    Owners a very sweet lady, rooms ok but would be better with a microwave but a mini fridge will have to do.

  • 5/5 Danielle N. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and clean suite! Cozy and comfy rooms. Great amenities to cook in the suite! Short walk to the beach, splash pad, park and Farmer’s Market on A Summer Saturday. Fantastic owner and communication was easy.

  • 5/5 Rachel H. 4 years ago on Google
    I travel around the state for work in the summer time. Since the pandemic has started, 40 Winks was the best place I've stayed. From the first instant you are there, you know they care about your health and well being. They communicate well with their customers and make you feel at ease. Thank you!

    Excellent host, very clean, near beach and things for all ages to do in park across the street.

  • 2/5 Lorri S. 3 years ago on Google
    Bathroom old wallpaper coming off.Rust on the vents in the bathroom. Stay for 1 week, microwave would have been nice instead of coffee maker. Front desk, the owner was not very friendly when checking in. Price too much
