A one night stay on a road trip with friends. It was the perfect location to walk down the road to have supper and close to the ferry for Mackinac Island. It is an older hotel but it was clean and comfortable and we would stay again.

Beds were clean and very comfortable. Overall cleanliness of the room was good. Pull the blinds to look outside and had a large amount of spider webs in the window area. I would definitely stay there again regardless of the situation with the spider webs.. didn’t see any bugs or spiders anywhere. They just needed cleaned.

The staff was very helpful and we we quickly changed to another room when able. We were very tired and wanted to rest after walking the bridge. We were given a room that had a functioning TV.
