Our third stay at the Vindel. Not quite as charming as our last visit two years ago. Bed was squeaky, bathroom baseboards needed to be cleaned and the pool was closed due to storm damage over the winter. Would have been nice to know this when making the reservation. If you are looking for a simple, classic motel this is for you. For the price we will probably stay somewhere else next time.

While convenient to I75 and the ferries, it was very dated. Tub and shower were flaking, sheets and bed cover were old and worn, no shampoo or conditioner, air conditioner blew under the coffee table, could not sit in the outside chairs as hot air from AC unit blew on you, Carpeting appeared worn and dirty..

The motel room was comfortable and enough space for two people. The shuttle picked us up with no issues getting to and from the ferry dock. Easy check in/out. I was disappointed that the pool wasn’t open for the season, especially after spending a warm day on the island. A small bar of hand soap would have been helpful and the room had no smoke detector. Could see where it used to be in the ceiling. I suggest the diner up the street on the left. Breakfast was really good. Overall our stay was good.
