Overall, this hotel was good for the amount I paid for it. The location was great and had beautiful views of the bridge and island. The room itself was quite large and mostly clean, except for some crumbs on a few surfaces. Definitely a good place for families looking for a more affordable, spacious place to stay with fun amenities. Staff was available and willing to help if needed. I would recommend staying here if looking for a place to stay in Mackinaw City.

Loved being on the beach, opening the window and hearing the waves. Loved having the bathroom separating the 2 beds, so there is some privacy. Having laundry facilities was nice although I did not use them. Hotel offered discounts on the ferries, butterfly experience on Mackinaw Island, dining and other events. There was also a shuttle service to and from the ferry.

This hotel was trying to cover up some smell with the strongest air freshener smell!! I couldn’t sleep without opening the window and putting a bag of their coffee beans in front of a fan to neutralize the air. The location is great. The smell of the entire facility as awful.
