The view was fabulous. The hotel has a shuttle pick-up for the Shepler's Ferry and that saved us parking costs. The breakfast was between good and great but we still enjoyed having it available each morning.

We enjoy our stay at the hotel. I love the view from our room. Very quiet, our room was very clean. The attendant at the breakfast was promptly refilling everything and making the area clean. Some of the jets in the hot tub was not working though, but the pool area was clean and organized. I would definitely book at this hotel again and recommend to others. Thank you !

Lovely and affordable! Great breakfast bar and ample spaces. Good swimming/jacuzzi, tub in the room, lake view and firewood pit lit up at night! I would spend more time to drive the bridge to make my night to here to save money from not staying in Mackinaw City. Stay here in St Ignace instead!

The hotel is dated and could use some renovations. It is located right on the shore and offers direct access to the beach. There is also a fire pit on the patio. These features helped compensate for the hotel’s somewhat worn condition.

The beds and pillows were great! Room was clean, but the carpeting felt dingy. We tried to swim in the Lake, but the inordinate amount of rocks kept us from doing anything more than wading at ankle level. We finally settled on going to the pool, which was fine, but we were a bit disappointed by not being able to enter the lake to swim. Breakfast was good - lots of options from which to choose.
