We would stay here again, and are planning to for our next trips! The hotel is cute and quiet! The rooms are in good shape and clean! The showers are alittle outdated, but I feel that comes with the location! Gene & Lori the managers are the sweetest!! We enjoyed our conversation with them! On low wind nights they have bonfires on the beach!! Overall this is the place to stay!!
What a fantastic place to stay! Having a balcony room right on the beach was such a treat for drinking coffee in the mornings. Laurie was a wealth of info and good recommendations, plus, the bonfire was lovely. Will come again!
Room was small and bathroom was smaller. Sink was in the room, not in the bathroom, there wasn't room for it in there.It was old. There was a musty smell. People were very friendly and helpful. We were only there for 1 1/2 nights and that was enough.
We had an issue with our toilet not wanting to flush. Reported to the front desk and they had it fixed by the time we got back to our room for the day. The carpet is very old or very dirt. The bottoms of my daughter's feet and mine were black. Other than that it was comfy and no big issues
Room was Mid but it was one of the most affordable stays in Mackinaw City. I would stay again if on a budget but probably would pay more for a better option. Very friendly host.
Fantastic Stay!
This hotel was absolutely great—clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free experience!
Lori was an amazing host! She really goes above and beyond to be helpful. Rooms are extremely clean and the property has a beautiful beach right there. Would highly recommend.

Great location! The room was very clean and well stocked with towels. We were surprised at how quiet it was (although the a/c was a bit loud--it provided white noise for us!). Front desk staff was very nice, informative, and welcoming. The beds were comfy.
