“Crows Nest Inn Tawas is a no-frills, compact motel that provides a clean, quiet stay, though some may find the beds less than luxurious. I appreciate that it's next door to breakfast and has pool and hot tub access. While some areas could use remodeling, the price makes it a solid option for a short getaway.”
