Checked in quite late and staff was friendly. Wasn’t shown what building our room was in, so we wandered around until we found it. Room didn’t look like it had been occupied for a while. Turned on the A/C and a bunch of bugs flew out. There were cobwebs in the corners of most walls/ceilings. There was a very large garden spider living in the sink drain, web and all. The sink was dirty and the toilet seat wasn’t cleaned. This was a room that has not been updated unlike their water view rooms and it definitely needs an update. We thought the shower rod was going to fall off the wall, so because of that and the bugs we decided not to take showers. It was nice that we could leave our car there while we went to Mackinac Island for the morning.

Could see the outside through the front door all the way around. Front door didn't feel very secure. No outside lighting through the stairwell which could be very dangerous when on the 2 nd floor. TV didn't work and neither did their phone.

I had such a great stay at the Blue Water Beachfront Hotel. The view from the room was absolutely stunning — you can literally step outside and be right on the beach. Everything was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and the staff were friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive. It’s the perfect mix of peaceful and convenient — close enough to St. Ignace and Mackinaw City for exploring, but tucked away enough to feel like your own private getaway. My favorite part was waking up early and watching the sunrise over the water — it was absolutely breathtaking and worth every minute of sleep lost. I’d definitely stay here again — it’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe, and just enjoy being up north. 🌅

Everyone was super friendly. Our room was in the midst of an update. The wood on the walls still needed sealed, but overall was clean. The bathroom floor did need a good scrubbing but there were no bugs or spiders anywhere. The balcony was beautiful (the screen was really torn up on the screen door but didn’t take away from the beauty outside) We would totally stay here again. It was beautiful and a perfect location. Not within walking distance from downtown-but a shuttle to the ferry was readily available and it was nice to be a little way as way from the hustle & bustle of downtown. The beach is private (for the hotel guests only) which is wonderful as well. It was so peaceful and serene.
