Great view!
Love this hotel! I’ve stayed here a few times and love the location, view, and friendly staff. I gave 3 stars for comfort because the bed was like sleeping in a hammock (room 105). I don’t recall having that the other times I’ve stayed here.

nice motel, clean and staff was great. only complaint was the size of the bed, I believe the bed was supposed to be a queen size but it had to be a full size. i am a larger guy and when i laid down on my back my wife could not get into the bed unless she laid on her side.

We loved our stay @ The Riviera Motel! I have very fond memories of Mackinac City/Mackinaw Island from my childhood & staying at The Riviera brought those fond memories back. Very clean & extremely friendly staff made the stay enjoyable and the view of the Mackinac Bridge & walking paths all around were incredibly beautiful. We would definitely stay @ The Riviera Motel again!
