Basic, clean room in a tourist town

Basic, clean room. Communications were excellent. The bed was soft (uncomfortably) and squeaked a lot! The sheets were paper thin. The walls are thin; I could hear our next door neighbors phone alerts. WIFI was not dependable. I know Mackinaw City is a tourist town but it is not a great value to pay $200/night (in September after the summer season with all fees/taxes included) for such a basic room. FYI the pool is closed due to storm damage. The sign gave the impression that it will not be being fixed any time soon.

We were on vacation. The rooms are in very good shape. Beds were pretty hard and there was hair(a lot of hair) in the bathtub. The pool is also permanently closed.

The check-in is super convenient. The only problem with a motel with a front desk is that they have to be available via text/phone/internet. Also, the wifi didn’t work

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable, but the bathroom was too small and the shower was difficult for my elderly father to get into and he was afraid to fall in the shower. Also, the air conditioner wasn’t on when we got there and it was old and took a very long time for the temperature to lower. The refrigerator also was not on and took time for the temperature to lower to preserve food.

Great lodging

My sister was skeptical about staying there. She wanted to stay in a Brand name hotel. She was pleasant surprised at how clean everything was. We both have back issues and the beds were awesome. Would definitely stay again.
