Great hotel in Mackinac. City

I am so impressed with the hotel. It is comfortable, clean and in a great location, quiet and not too far from downtown. I only wish the room was a bit bigger. The staffs are friendly and that’s a great selection for breakfast overall is very comfortable. Stay I would recommend it for solo traveler or maximum of two people.

Our stay here was amazing. The view from our room of the Mackinaw Bridge and Lake Huron were incredible. Staff was wonderful. They were friendly, available, and helpful. Would highly recommend and definitely would stay again.
Shelby, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean hotel in a quiet location. Close to the shopping district and the freeway/exits. While the room was small, the bed was comfortable, we felt safe, and having the fire pit lit every night for us was very nice. It was just my son and I, but we would stay here again.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great folks here and great service.

Great service by some hardworking folks. They were friendly and courteous. We loved the fire pits on the beach at night and the S’mores. A thoughtful touch. Small rooms and older hotel but clean and tidy. Good breakfast too.

Great alternative to staying on the island

Great motel! Loved the location right on the beach with good view of the bridge. Fire pits every night and free smores kits were a great perk! Also had cookies at check-in. Rooms were spacious with great views! The trolley for the ferry even comes to the motel to pick you up! Overall, a great stay!

Nope-skip

This could be a nice hotel if they can get rid of the musty smell, renovate the bathrooms and pull up the carpeting. Outside grassy area is covered in goose poop. Bonfires are a nice touch. Would not stay here again.
Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stay was wonderful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Always greeted with a smile. Aside from the construction that was going on the road across all the hotels and inns. The stay overall was great! Breakfast was great and always nice and stocked. The fires pits in the evenings and s’mores were a great way to socialize with other guest and relax from the days events. I will highly recommend staying here! Thank you so much for your hospitality!
Kayla, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

They were so kind to upgrade me to a waterfront room :) nice views!!! Clean bathroom area, great to have fridge, coffee maker ( tasty coffee packets too!!) great hot breakfast!!!! The downside was the bedding looked 40 yrs old and the carpet looked dirty - so I would give this place a solid 7 star

Returning once again

We stayed in 2021 and the couple that runs the hotel are just as friendly now as they were then. The beds are super comfortable, the view is amazing, and the breakfast is really delicious. We love the bonfires at night and enjoy the smores while watching the sunset. It also offers a perfect view to the fireworks. You can see the ones from the bridge, the island, and ST Ignis.
