427 W Portage Ave Sault Sainte Marie, MI 49783

This offering is a 20-unit motel designed for an owner-operator, including a two-bedroom, one-bath owner’s suite. Six of the motel units have already been renovated with Great Lake decor, supporting a guest-ready configuration. The property includes a garage, a 72x42 pole barn, and a shed, providing additional on-site storage and functional space for day-to-day operations.

The site is located in downtown Sault Ste Marie on more than one acre of commercial land. Public remarks highlight views of the Long Ships (freighters) coming into and exiting the Soo Locks, along with sightlines toward the international bridge to Canada. The motel is described as being within walking distance to shops, bars, and restaurants.

For a buyer looking to operate from the property, the combination of on-site housing and a complete motel setup—including furnishings, equipment, linens, the motel name, website, goodwill, and future bookings that are included in the sale—can support continuity at the time of transfer. The Tourist zoning further aligns with lodging use. The included lodging materials and operational assets, together with the existing land footprint and supplemental outbuildings, offer a practical platform for managing and running a hospitality business at one location.
