I would not recommend Bayside Hotel in Mackinaw City. The property is advertised as “renovated,” but in reality, it only looks like they put in new beds and added a coat of paint. Beyond that, there are cracks everywhere, and the building has a very run-down feel. The room also smelled strongly of smoke, which was very unpleasant.
The owners operate several hotels in Mackinaw City, and unfortunately, it seems they all suffer from the same lack of upkeep. This place is no exception—it feels neglected and poorly managed.
Overall, I would not stay here again. There are plenty of better options in the area for the same or even less money.
