Bed and room was clean...but the hotel desperately needs an update. Lots of holes in the halls and near the elevators under the carpet. The pool was a hot mess....babies in diapers in the pool, thus we stayed in the hot tub area. We never saw any attendant watch anyone. And the pool location was totally ridiculous on how to get there and back to the hotel....as it's shared with another hotel. Staff was very nice. No breakfast, and thankfully area was quiet.

My husband and I stayed at Bayside Mackinaw City for two nights. The staff was very friendly and quick to answer any questions we had. The property was very very clean and seemed to be in good condition. We didn't use the pool or hot tub so I am unable to provide feedback on them. Check in was a breeze, and check out was just as quick and easy. Housekeeping was wonderful and made sure we had plenty of towels and soap/shampoo and conditioner. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom, a microwave and a small fridge. This property is on the main drag across from Arnold's ferry, and walking distance to restaurants and stores. We loved our stay and will be back again.

Have stayed here a few times, and the conditions were what I expected. Hot tub was not working the first night I stayed. That was disappointing. Hot tub and waterpark, were working the rest of my trip. Rooms are somewhat dated. Not very clean. We only stay here because of the waterpark for the kids. It’s OK for a few nights. Looked at a room at the Crown Choice next-door. Will be staying there next time.

Great location for walking right across the street to Armstrong ferry. They are dog friendly. We had a small dog and paid a $25 dog fee. Our room needed some love but was just fine for sleeping. We may have been given a dog friendly room so it may have been not as well kept as others. The lamp cord looked chewed on and some of the headboard lighting didn’t work. Would stay again for a stopover but nothing more.

Waterpark doesn’t open until 2 which is a bummer but the beach is across the way. Beds are clean and comfortable. Bathrooms lack drying lines for wet clothes. The kitchenette that is advertised for the suite is nothing more than an average hotel room kitchen… it just has more cabinets. Do plan on bringing a hot plate if you want to cook in your kitchen. Staff are helpful and accommodating.
