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

The American boutique Inn was an adorable property right in the heart of Mackinaw city Michigan. It was an easy walk to the fort, several beaches, and downtown. It was a quaint and beautiful little property sitting on a beautiful street across from several beautiful homes. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was well appointed. My only slight complaint was at the shower, kept switching from scalding hot to ice cold. However, the staff were so accommodating that I think if I had mentioned it to them, they would have fixed it right away. The staff at the front desk were so nice. They got us everything we needed and very quickly. The pool was also very nice and my daughter swam after a long day at Mackinac Island. They offer a quick shuttle to the ferry and you can even buy tickets with them. They have refrigerators in the room and a Keurig coffee maker. On the back of the property they have a large ice machine, soda machine, and a microwave you can use. That worked really well for us since we were eating several meals on our own, trying to save a little money, not eating out. Overall, we loved our stay at the American boutique Inn and would definitely stay again!

The hotel is within walking distance to dining, beach and parks. Parking was a breeze. The staff was very helpful and the place is just serene. I was worried about the swimming pool, as most of the rooms face it and it is open until 10 PM. Fortunately, it was not an issue. The guests were very considerate.

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.
