Captain's Quarters

The Captain’s Quarters was the first motel in Saugatuck. It was built as a post-World War II lodging facility that introduced the cutting edge concept of "Motor Inns" to the lakeshore. The motel began as a modest three-room motor inn built to capitalize on the auto traffic created by vacationers who were flocking to Lake Michigan beaches for summer vacations. Today the Captain’s Quarters Motel is a 15 room thoroughly modernized facility with a classic New England exterior. It is owned by a husband and wife carrying on the love of Cape Cod and the area's relaxing atmosphere.
