The location was great - walkable to town, restaurants, shopping and the ferries. The beach was so nice and great for young kids. The building is worn and out of date, although everything worked fine. The beds were fine. The staff were unhelpful and not friendly. The breakfast was not good. The price seems very high for what we got.

Seen better days
Fairly high priced in a touristy area which is common. At $300 a night ive stayed in way way way nicer hotels. Very out dated older styling. Paint peeling in the hotel room. Sheets had stains. There were several areas of dirt on the walls. Hands down some of the worst hotel breakfast ive had. Powdered eggs arent known for being great but man these were bad. Tasted like chewing on a flip flop. Now for the positive: great location, easy beach access, friendly staff.

One Night in Mackinaw City
The hotel has a beautiful site on Lake Huron. Check-in was easy, and the front desk staff were friendly. We had an 12-foot truck and were able to park it between the Best Western and another hotel quite easily. The only downside of our stay was breakfast. The food, while plentiful, was meh. This platform asks customers to rate a hotel on environmental practices. All the plates and bows for breakfast were some type of styrofoam :/

The location is pretty good - can walk to the Mackinac Island ferry. Some restaurants are within walking distance. It's on the beach, which is nice. Our room was spacious and slept 6 easily. But the entire place just has this run-down feel about it. Peeling paint and wallpaper, grimy worn out bathroom fixtures. Poor signage for locating the elevator, the breakfast room, etc.

Not horrible but not entirely great either
Room was nice nothing fancy a little too overpriced! Breakfast was not so great would’ve been better if they would’ve actually switched it up daily, but it seemed to be the same thing every single day. Beach was beautiful and nice overall not a bad place to stay just a little too expensive for what you actually get.

We were very happy to book the last available room they had after we left our previous booking early at a dodgy hotel. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The shower had great water pressure. Blinds made the room completely dark which was great as we were waking up later than we normally would, getting more sleep in. Continental breakfast was served from 6 to 9. Being a tourist destination, I would like them to serve an extra hour to 10. My interactions at the desk was pleasant. They do have discounted ferry tickets to Mackinac Island available. The area they're located in is fantastic, right on the waterfront. They do have a little beach behind the hotel and walking distance to downtown shopping area, parks, and ferries.

The property was in poor condition. It looks like it had very little maintenance. The room was not very clean, it had dust on table and bathtub had someone 's hair left in the drain. The carpet in hallways/breezeway was unkept. However, the beds were a bit too hard yet they were clean, and sheets looked and smelled fresh. The air conditioner did work and kept the room comfortable. The balcony looking toward the lake was very nice and we enjoyed watching fireworks from it. They did have a breakfast. It was unimpressive. The shaff was nice and were helpful.
