Average hotel in Mackinaw City. Relatively clean room but the property around the hotel could use a clean up crew. Hotel is in need of updates.

On the water of course there will be plenty of bugs but there were plenty inside too, not bed ones just “by the water ones” and they would be found already dead which made me think they were coming from the air vent over night or something

Property is great to stay in, room looks over the water. The price is good value for what one gets. It’s an older somewhat dated conference facility, further out on the strip, so quiet. A bit of walking to get to the pool. Parking close to entrances.
