I was between this hotel and a few others and I'm so happy that I chose Island House! The location can't be beat. It's just around the corner from Main Street and right across the street from the marina. The food options on site were excellent. We even were able to rent bikes right out front which was super convenient. If we go back to the island, we will definitely be repeat guests!

This hotel is very nice and tastefully decorated. I give it 4 stars. It's a bit pricey for the quality level, but it's Mackinac so somewhat expected. We reserved a 2 BR suite as we were traveling with my adult daughter, and the room lay out was strange. 2 baths, but weird lay out. It was an obvious conversion from a space that had other purposes. Just not what I'd expect at the price level charged. Overall the hotel was clean and the staff friendly, barring the restaurant manager who was somewhat gruff.

Perfect location with everything you could need on property! Bike rentals right in front of the hotel and restaurant/bar options! The front porch and yard had perfect areas to relax, hang out, and just take in all the island’s beauty! Would stay here again when coming back to the island!

The property and room were great! The only thing we would have liked would have been a complimentary breakfast option - the room cost itself is on the high side so it would have been nice to grab a quick breakfast before taking off to explore the island.

Love the hotel however it is in serious need of upgrading to be in line with the price per night. Bathrooms are not accommodating and the set up just needs serious updating/ remodeling. 1852 restaurant is wonderful with great food and service.

My first time on Mackinac Island and the staff here were so helpful and efficient. The 4th floor room in the dormered part of the building was big enough for one person. I appreciated that there was still a small table and chairs in the room. I misplaced my credit card in the hotel restaurant, and both the front desk staff and the restaurant staff were very helpful in assisting me with locating it. The hotel was beautiful. Right off the downtown shopping area.
