Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Even though an older property it was well maintained. We loved the fact that we were able to park our car and not move it for the entirety of our stay. Just across the street from the beach and bridge and about a 5 minute walk to downtown, the ferry and plenty of restaurants. The front desk staff was friendly and answered the phone late in the evening when we had a question. Bed was comfortable and the pool free of any debris. A hidden gem

Our go to place!

This has become my go to place to stay when I go to Mackinaw City! The check in staff is always friendly, the rooms always clean, and the pool! It’s so warm and clean. The grounds are great, lots of places to sit out in the garden area, and it’s just across the street from a few parks that you can walk along the lake and have great views of the Bridge. It’s also one of the more affordable places in the city (even during peak tourist season) but doesn’t sacrifice quality at all. I always recommend it to people I know heading up there! 100% will continue to return!

The A/C unit is too noisy and blower works too strong even on the lower setting. The vanity top should be replaced or resurfaced. Also a lack of any towel bars or hangers. Great comfortable mattress on the King size bed.

Most terrible experience! The whole room has a damp and musty smell. The air conditioner doesn’t work well and has extremely loud noises. The whole room equipment is very very old , Especially for Bathroom. One tiny room just has one outlet for Charging. Online room pictures is so faked. So regret for booking online. The one night fee is around 110. Be honest, it’s not worth this price.

I had gotten ill on the first day in the hotel, personal reasons, had to be taken to the hospital. Hotel treated my daughter so well. I cannot thank them enough. They made sur they had a room for her every night needed, and in the end did not charge her.
