Liked the beach access right of our room and view to the bridge. Beautiful sunrise. The room was small, pretty clean, bathroom too. Mattress was very comfortable. Screen door and sliding door need to be replaced.

Cute remodled rooms with water view

The room we stayed in was recently remodled. Very cute. Beds were really nice. Considerably comfortable for a hotel bed. Sheets were crisp and clean. The manager check on us every time he saw us to see how everything was going. The girls at the desk were very friendly and helpful. Will definetly stay again.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

The room was dirty. Very dirty and any needed LOTS of maintenance. There were smashed bug remains all over the room. Legs on the bed were broken so the bed is on an incline. All of the issues should’ve been noticed by any staff that went into the room. The outlet was so overloaded it was buzzing and I had to unplug everything just to get the fridge to work. The fridge was full of black mold and the microwave was completely rusted out and unsafe to use. The toilet had urine all over it and around it. The sink had been used prior to my stay and was definitely not cleaned, the dried up toothpaste (?) residue was all over the faucet and in the sink. The extra roll of toilet paper had mold all over the side indicating it had gotten wet at some point and just left there. There were metal flakes all around the faucet that wouldn’t have been there if it had been cleaned. The shower head isn’t tall enough for anyone over 5’4.. the drain cover isn’t attached and the drain is actually just a hole in the bottom of the shower. I ended up leaving a couple days early which was a loss of my money in multiple ways.. definitely don’t recommend, it’s not worth the money you’re “saving”.. the “discount” tickets the hotel offers aren’t discounted at all.. it’s cheaper to buy them on location anywhere you want to go. Staff offered a coupon for a free night in the area which is silly as it would cost more to get there than the “free” night. DON’T BE TEMPTED TO SAVE MONEY STAYING HERE!
Crystallized urine around the toilet.. definitely been there a long time.
Debris all around the sink.
The rotten trim around the shower.
Inside the microwave.

Room was clean and newly remodeled. However, the sliding glass door handle was broken and the heavy drapes had holes in them you could see when they were closed at night. Everyone was friendly, but no amenities. No hair dryer, no iron etc…

Upon checking in the suggestion was made to upgrade which I chose to do. I am so happy I did. Got a freshly renovated room overlooking the water. The bed was so comfortable and the view of the bridge was phenomenal. If I ever went back to Mackinaw City. I would definitely stay here again.

Dirty floors, shower, toilet. Dusty. Bent screen door off and leaning against outside wall. Front door did not close all of the way, leaving about an inch gap allowing light, cold air and mosquitoes in. Filled the gaps with hand towels and washcloths. Coffee, but no pot.

We arrived and checked in to be notified we’d gotten an upgrade which was very pleasant, but added an extra hour to be able to check into our room from it getting cleaned as we arrived. There were minor safety concerns around the property such as electrical equipment just hanging on the wall… pool area towels were absolutely covered in bugs, even for what was protected by just a towel for partial coverage. We loved that fire pits were an option right outside the room!

Needs work

The first room we were given had no water to the toilet. We were moved to another which had a broken screen door so we could not open it. The main door didn't close tightly so the room filled up with insects (fortunately not mosquitos) Broken siding was hanging in a tree outside our room. The front desk staff was very pleasant and tried to help, but this facility is undergoing remodeling and has a ways to go.
