Overpriced for the quality

Was in a “handicap accessible” room, that was NOT accessible. Would not be able to get a wheelchair from the door past the bed to the other side of the room or into the bathroom. Both sets of peep holes on the door were painted over rendering them useless to see anyone knocking on the door. The bathroom was spacious and had a jetted tub, so that was nice. The breakfast was NOT very complimentary. Breakfast hours were 7am-9am. Had to go to a separate building on the second floor to find the food that was offered: pancakes, ham slices, yogurt and bread slices. The toasting oven did not work properly so bread never got toasted. Coffee was hot but not good. Parking lot was small. The hotel did offer a discount on ferry tickets. The “Arnold ferry” terminal was a short 4 minute walk from the hotel, so that was nice.

Our room was very clean and comfortable! Our lake view room was amazing, the balcony was great for coffee and relaxing! Was within walking distance to Arnold Ferry for second part of our trip to Mackinac Island for a couple days. Was very easy walk to eat at The Rusted Spoke and Dixie Saloon and to see Icebreaker Mackinaw Museum. Would stay again!!!

Room was exactly as advertised and as I requested. Rooms with breakfast included are rare in Mackinaw City, so this was a nice feature and saves a family of 4 a little money and time. Great quality at a vacation price I was ok paying.

Bathroom had the fridge and microwave stuffed in a corner with wires awkwardly exposed. Bathroom fan fixture lights had no covers so you could see into the fixture. Same fixture fan didn't work. Air conditioner grille was pretty dirty as was the carpet. Staff was business like, but not exactly cordial. Breakfast was pretty mundane. Ice machine in the stairwell was growing algea.
