10/10 Exceptional

Our front desk gal was extremely helpful and extremely nice! Nice view
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed at this hotel multiple times before. Great staff and small but adequate breakfast. The fire pits and smores on the beach at night over looking the Bridge are a great touch!
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Weekend in Mackinaw City

Nice, quite, family owned and run, place right on the water! The fires on the beach every night at 7:30 are a nice touch! The free shuttle to the Island Ferry picks you at the front office, so don't pay for parking at the Ferry lot like I did :(. Would definitely go back.
Jason, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was good except there was a foul smell in Building 6.

Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was a little small, but adequate. The staff and special touches make this hotel a great place to vacation. Ralston's attention to detail and genuine hospitality made our stay very enjoyable. We hope to visit again some day.

Julie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We needed a place to stay last minute and this was one of the only locations with an opening. This night stay ended up being amazing- our suite was right on the water, the beds were comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The firepits and s’mores were so fun. I definitely recommend this place for Families.

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.

Lovely location on the lake with nightly fires.
Kylene, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice property but room, pool, and breakfast were all in separate buildings. The non-swimming beach area is nice for a campfire which they permitted with a great view of the Mackinac Bridge.

Russell, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property needs minor maintenance such as faucet leaks and more attention to a thorough cleaning especially around windows. Firepits and smores were a nice touch in the evening.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was friendly. The beds were super comfortable. The room was clean. The motel was on a sandy beach. The fire pits lit at night with the smore kits was delightful. I will come back again.
Gerald, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

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

8/10 Very good

This place was very close to downtown Mackinaw and had a beautiful view of the bridge from the room. The room was not the cleanest, however it was a good stay for one night. They do offer a lot of amenities such as a campfire, kayaking, pool/hot tub and breakfast for guests.
Alexis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Would not recommend

We stayed 1 night. The smell when we walked into the building was not pleasant at all. When we got into our room it smelled musty. I opened the curtains and there was a bunch of spiderwebs with spiders crawling. Not a pleasant sight at all. The breakfast was just ok. We would not stay here again. The service was very pleasant though.
