Beautiful place!! Comfortable room!! Great breakfast!! Wi-fi didn't work in room 317, but the view was fantastic!!! I had excellent wi-fi service in lobby and drank their free coffee. I would rate a 5 star if wi-fi worked.

BW Mackinaw City, MI Right on the Beach
As a BW Rewards member I was expecting a bit more from the new "PLUS" designation that the Best Western chain has established for its better hotels. Ground floor room seemed musty/damp. Very small room with huge, older furniture that made the room smaller. Average breakfast menu - but appreciated none the less.

Short walk from hotel
It was all about Location, Location, Location - All attractions including Mackinaw Island ferries, restaurants and shops all within walking distances. Plus the hotel has its own private beach.

Mackinaw City
When we arrived, we were given an awful location near the laundry. I went and asked to upgrade, we were given a lake front view that was astounding, and much much larger. Total cost of upgrade was $35+ well worth the upgrade. About 17 a night as we stayed 2 nights. Lake front view changed everything. Mackinaw City has lots of decent shops and restaurants. I would do this again!

Below Average
I was very excited to stay at this hotel based on the reviews I found online. However, the excitement ended there. Our room with a "courtyard view" was in a back hallway off the parking lot, which made us feel like we were staying in a bat cave. The room was also very damp and smelled like mold. They charge an extra cleaning fee if bikes are stored in the room so they obviously do not support outdoor enthusiasts. The pool hours were 11am - 11pm, which didn't allow for an early morning swim.

Non smoking room smelled smoky
Non smoking room smelled smoky but they did move us which was good. Breakfast is included and was really a great spread with many choices. Courtyard rooms actually just look out onto the carpark, so the waterview room may have been a better choice. Easy walk to restaurants and centre of town.
