Room was exactly as advertised and as I requested. Rooms with breakfast included are rare in Mackinaw City, so this was a nice feature and saves a family of 4 a little money and time. Great quality at a vacation price I was ok paying.

There are piles of dead lake flies by every guest room. The rooms are very outdated. The lamp shades are torn and dirty. Our TV didn’t work. We found a bug in our room. The pool and hot tub were dirty and the hot tub did not work. It was not hot at all-not even lukewarm. The beds had these

This hotel wasn’t bad but it wasn’t exceptional. Kel from housekeeping made sure we had a spotless room with cute folded towels and everything in the room was sparkling clean and organized. The room was moldy smelling from the air conditioning. Once the window was opened it was fine. The office staff was fine. Not friendly but not rude just fine. Close access to a beach but you would be better off taking a drive to a clean beach. Breakfast had many options & the town is fantastic. We would stay here again.

All hotels in the area appear dated, that’s not our issue. We expected that. Our two room “suite” was so dirty the carpet turned our granddaughter's feet black within minutes. The tv’s didn’t work consistently, the toilet was loose, the bathroom tile was cracked in multiple places, under the bed and tables appeared to not have been cleaned in YEARS, the trim around the main door frame had been shattered and painted over. My son dropped his phone and found world record sized dust bunnies, dirty socks/underwear and other unmentionable things. The best part of breakfast was the dry cereal and orange juice. We are extremely gracious travelers, and I don’t normally leave bad reviews….but this was extreme to pay $1100 for 3 nights and have a sliver of a glimpse of the Lake (lake view) between buildings and then have these circumstances is ridiculous.

The food choices for breakfast were very lacking. One choice for fruit, the rest was all carbohydrates. We ended up going to the Toast a go go buffet which was nice. The pool was colder than the water in the lake, my legs were frozen for a few hours after several attempts to go in the pool.
