It was a very nice and clean experience. The reception desk was very prompt with check in and parking was very easy. We enjoyed the pool after a day out seeing attractions. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

It was a perfect spot right next to the bridge, right across the street from the bridge. It was also walking distance to downtown. We also like it was family/privately owned. We did have issue with our toilet.

Very nice location and friendly front desk staff. Good view of mackinaw bridge from our room and walkable to mackinaw city. Rooms were fairly clean given the age. This is a very old and outdated hotel which i can deal with. But the fixtures like sink and shower knobs were loose and falling apart. Beds were a matress with a board under it and a frame, very uncomfortable. Rooms are so small especially the double bed rooms. Cute outdoor decor and a pool area is pretty at night. If rooms were updated and they fixed up the place a bit i think itd be worth the money but in its current state i am not sure it was for us.

Even though an older property it was well maintained. We loved the fact that we were able to park our car and not move it for the entirety of our stay. Just across the street from the beach and bridge and about a 5 minute walk to downtown, the ferry and plenty of restaurants. The front desk staff was friendly and answered the phone late in the evening when we had a question. Bed was comfortable and the pool free of any debris. A hidden gem
