We ended up staying 2 times on this trip, exceptionally clean basic rooms, they filled our needs perfectly, great location for visitors to St. Ignace and being able to park right in front of our room made it super easy to unload our stuff for the evening.

Great Stay

We stayed at Wayside the night before we were catching a ferry to Mackinac Island. The rooms were completely remodeled - new paint, carpet, bathrooms, etc. Very clean and comfortable stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful - they called to let us know about an item we left in the room and called the ferry shuttle to pick us up. Overall great stay and service!
