I wanted to mention two staff members who really stood out to me: The first one was Rebekah (sp?) who helped me find the washer and dryer for guests. She didn't just point me in the right direction, but walked me there and even told me where to get soap if I needed it. After that, she walked me to the exercise room. The other lady I want to mention was Jessica at the front desk. She was extremely hospitable and helpful.

You can tell this is an older hotel and it has been kept up and updated pretty well. The sauna was making a weird noise and had to be closed when we were there, and the hot tub area didn't seem the cleanest. Breakfast was plentiful and had good variety, the breakfast area felt a little cramped. Our room was sufficient, a little tight, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Nothing to write home about, but not a bad value for a very touristy area.

The breakfast staff was rude, the front desk hid when we came to check out, and the room refresh was super late. The hotel was not clean but the rooms were good. The doors are falling apart and the location needs an update.

Walking distance to Fort Michilimackinac. Close to ferry parking. Very comfortable rooms and kind staff. Only downside is proximity to the highway which can be noisy sometimes but also nice to be able to see all the cars going to the UP. Great stay!
