From start to finish the staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful. We definitely felt welcomed. Our room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The hotel was quiet at night. Adjacent to Arnold's Ferry making it convenient to take a hop over to the island. Breakfast was warm and filling. A short drive or walk to Mackinaw Crossings for tourist shopping. Convenient beach access!
