Compelled to write my first ever review

The parking lot is a lie, the gate code they give you does not work. The hotel rooms are not actually at the address they give, they provide the real address on your check in date. The actual address is on a sketchy street riddled with homeless people along train tracks. I arrived alone at night and outside of my room was a man in a ski mask staring at me as I tried to gather my things. Terrified, I went to the restaurant they own in tears trying to figure out what to do. A host at the restaurant got in my car and drove with me to the other building to escort me in. Totally uncomfortable, but very nice of him to help me. There is no front desk or onsite hotel staff and it does not feel safe. It is extremely loud, as trains pass by outside your window all night long. The walls are dirty, the vents are caked with dust, the bed was so hard and uncomfortable, the phone and refrigerator do not work. The hotel will charge you a cleaning fee for pets even though they don’t tell you about this until after the fact. They claim to be pet friendly but there is a secret set of rules they don’t divulge. Hilariously, my dog is a service dog who absolutely left no trace and they are illegally trying to charge a cleaning fee for him being there. I am taking legal action. An all around nightmare of a place that tries to profit by using the “gotcha” business model. The receptionist finds joy in being an awful human being.

Room had a lot of rotted wood around the baseboards. Heater took very long to warm up room. But the bed was comfortable! Very convenient check in. Just needs some TLC

I’ve stayed at Hotel Mack multiple times. First time staying in the Annex. The room was very clean. Some maintenance attention: There were a few burned out lights bulbs, carpet stains, shower door didn’t shut leaving a space for water to leak out. There was a kuerig coffee maker on the desk. However, there was no way to plug it in. I had to move it to a different location in the room to plug it in. The entrance door to the Annex needs maintenance attention. It does not shut and lock properly which is a security concern. If you don’t mind loud train noises, this is the room for you. They do leave earplugs for you in the room.

There are several properties associated with Hotel Mac. We were in the Annex which was a very nice well kept building. It is near a railyard so there was some noise related to that. The hotel provided earplugs which neither myself nor my husband used and we both slept well.

Cute hotel with variety of rooms

Our third stay here at this cute hotel for an annual overnight bike trip. We like the gated parking lot and close restaurants options. We previously stayed in main hotel and carriage house; were in Annex 202 this time. Room size is perfectly fine, but a much smaller bathroom in this 'economy' room. Stairs to room have two 90 degree turns, so if you have heavy or big items, consider a different room. AC struggled on a very hot (near 100). Our room was 87 degrees when we arrived at 5pm, and was still 82 at 9pm when we returned from dinner with it on full blast. Very nice that ear plugs are provided, but the train noise seemed less loud than our previous stays. As usual, the contactless instructions were complete and very clear. If it is your first stay make sure to read thoroughly as there is no front desk.

My daughter and I stayed here for a night and we were delighted by the nautical theme of our room, the spaciousness, cleanliness, and coziness. It was such a bright, welcoming, and comfortable space that we wished we were staying longer. The hotel was incredibly accommodating, too, when we needed to ask for something extra. It was a bit of a splurge for us but everything was so easy and pleasant--it was totally worth it.
