Our stay was quite last minute and we sure lucked out!! Charming little motel has been updated and made ready for the 21st century. Many modern touches while still preserving memories from the 70’s. Clean, well kept, and remote check in and out was seamless.

Clean and cozy! Loved the vibe inside, plus totally walkable to the main strip, Shepler’s ferry, and any of the local restaurants. Check-in/out was remote too, no hassle or worry at any point. Price is super fair for a simple little place to stay!

This was a nice room, easy check-in. They have a digital door monitor instead of Keys. Did not like the soap in the bathroom, it was all in bottles. Be careful the bathtub is slippery.

One of the best places in Mackinaw to stay. Rooms are clean and staff are helpful. Takes time to get use to the no contact check in and code to enter room. Once you get it, I really like it. Very nice place to stay.

A clean room, with easy check in and accessible by keypad. Average bed. Decent small bathroom. Not a fancy room, but adequate. AC was adequate, but had to work hard to cool the room in the hot weather. My only gripe is that the curtains do not keep the light out.
